Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

Good idea to snow bird ,we do it now and then. Last year it was rather mild up here, so no need to head south! When do you plan to retire and enjoy the profit from your labors?

Talk to you soon, we are'nt spring chickens any more...

keep up the nice work on your truck

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

Hey Jim congrats on Cecila Mary ...since last post sold the Jersey Shore house and now side tracked ... been tryng to avoid this for about 2 years as I new its been sitting in my neighbors garage ....oh yeah for 45 years in hiding... she is now in my garage ...a time capsule. I’m going to methodically resurrect it ...slowly I promised Bob the former original owner 86 years young who parked it in the garage in 1974 a ride when its a running 265 SB with a power glide behind it every thing is how it came out of the dealership(with some bumps and bruises ) original invoice and Jersey title from 55 enjoy the pics....

Man! Long term relationships have their rewards! SO NICE! Good luck on getting it running and definetly GIVE THAT MAN A RIDE

Lets just think about this for a minute.... He was 22 when he bought it new, drove it for 19 years and tucked it in his garage for the next 45 YEARS. This deserves a story written up in Hemmings or some sort of news paper. Just amazing.

Neat garage find, but you knew it was there, so not so much of a find, but still cool. that was our family car back in the day, only a '56

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

thanks everyone for your kind comments. I need a break from the trucks for a few so this will be a positive distraction. I had Bob the former owner over yesterday, he wanted to look through the glove box and spare tire compartment. He found a tool bag in the spare tire well and said his Mom made the tool bag and he wanted to keep it ( he is 86). I invited him to come an participate in breathing life back into the wagon. He agreed and before I took him back home we greased the hood hinges and put a battery in. Wouldn’t you know it head lights signals stops backup lights horn all worked......amazing.... on another note I joined the trifivechevys.com forum.....you have no idea how great this forum is compared to others its not as user friendly so far and just want to say thank you to this forums community and moderators
thank You
Jess

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

That wagon is a time capsule, I'd wash it and call it good, after a safety item check. White wall snow tires are cool. Good luck with it and keep us posted on progress

What HE SAID ^^^X2! Thats what I would do also, keep the time capsule just that, only new rubber parts and saftey items upgrades. What are the guys saying on the tri 5 forum about the rarity of the find?

here is a quote from the tri5 board..

hi NJ and welcome. good to have you here. doesn't get any better then a survivor, there that way only once. congrats, looking forward to pics.

so surprisingly there is no fee thus limited support the photo option wasnt working when I joined since been fixed by Sid I take it he is the force behind the whole forum and can appreciate his dedication Im new kid on the block and tooling around and getting more familar .....so I got under her/him the Grocery Getter
to get the Fuel tank out Bob filled it before he parked it ...there is a plug in the bottom of these tanks from factory ...thank God I got all 17 gallons of varnish out.... on the wagons the tank is up over the spare tire well and you need to drop the shocks to get the clearence or for the tank to get by the rear ...maybe..well just not enough room ...so with some advice from TRI5 board members I have to move ther rear forward undo u bolts drop drive shaft you guys no the drill slide her forward on the perches etc. ill have pics today im going to see if i can it out

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

Nice work Jesse, are you going to pull the carb apart, and replace fuel lines. That sending unit was looking well past its working life.

What engine does it have in it?

A couple weeks ago I took Bob for his first ride in 45 years believe me this is his happy face .....( someone on tri- five board asked if I was the other teen driving)we drove around my neighborhood..insured but no plates...I’m waiting on a NJ to send me a duplicate Title they want to take and destroy the original ...my way around is to get the duplicate and use it to transfer ownership
So far
Getting a little shine back
Replaced gas tank
Re cord radiator
Replaced water pump
Replaced rad hoses
Tires
Rubber gas line
I have all rubber brake hoses not installed yet
I will rebuild original water pump (for engine rebuild someday)
Enjoying the slow resurrection

Re: The Doc & Kim 69 build

I think it's safe to say you have made Bob PROUD to have sold his baby to you! What a noble gesture... I've got warm fuzzies right now
