    Almost ready to hit the road. Unfortunately I'm going to be working out of town ( Bay City MI.) for the next six weeks. So it looks like the stage coach will be at a standstill untill I get back home.

    I was actually looking for the 2 bumper brackets for the rear.
    I have the passenger side one but not the rear drivers side ones :Dou:

    if you have some spares i'll take them.
    Thanks!

    Sorry for the slow response I have been out of town for the last month. The shifter is a Hurst quarter stick. I had to go with a cable type shifter because the TH400 left no room for stock shifter.
    Thanks. Don.

    Bigds65,

    Could you provide the height measurement from the bottom of the rocker panels to the ground (both ends) or the height of the upper trim edge on the front and rear wheel well openings? I'm trying to get a feel for the stance your wagon has and see how close my 67 wagon is. Thanks.

    Don,

    Thanks for the stats - the 67 is almost identical in stance with 15's all around. It always looks like the wagons in Buick brochures squat in the rear but yours has much more eye appeal and just plain looks right.
