Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
I fired up my engine and broken in the cam this weekend. I have a video but dont know how to post it here.
I finished up the engine and front light wiring, wrapped the harness with factory style wrap and used factory style mounts. |

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Yea. I hope I don't have the issues you are having. I am guessing they cut that hole to get access to the carrier bearing? After the car is done I may weld a plate over it.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
That's just crazy. Pulling these driveshafts isn't that hard. lol I would weld it up. These frames aren't that great to begin with lol

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Just went through the whole thread and man you got me itching to work on my 67 wagon. I'm very curious to see your bag setup in action. There's a 60 sedan delivery in my hood that is just crying for a similar setup but the guy won't part with it.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
I have 3 1960 Chevy sedan deliveries. One is a daily driver the other two are not running. Fun to drive and 60s seem to get a lot of attention!

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Oh how I miss my 60. Had big plans for it but with 6 other cars at the time I have to thin the herd down. 60 is my favorite year, great lines.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Have not taken many pics recently but there has been a lot of progress. I got the car driving and on the road last week, i did an alignment and calibrated the speedo. Drove the car about 100 miles so far. I am loving it. Dropped it off sunday at the upholstry shop! Cant wait to see what they do, i am like a little kid waiting on christmas. Here is where the car is now www.sewntight.com Oh and we got a pile of snow a couple of weeks ago, but now its all gone and 65 degrees now.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Did you put a slip yoke in the rear driveshaft?
Those billet carrier bearings don't have much flex to them like the stock version does. http://www.iedls.com/Driveshafts/Sto...riveshafts.asp

A couple shots of it laid out in my drive way, and a shot of the cluster driving down the road. Loving it.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
What was the deal with your transmission issue? Hopefully, you got through it without killing your wallet.

Re: 1960 chevy parkwood wagon!
Thanks for all the kind comments.
I Took the wagon on the Hot rod power tour and did the long haul!! I put 3000 miles on the car in one week! Ran into a great board member crawdadfox and his wife, It was awesome to run into you guys in baton rouge. No major issues during the trip other than a cracked wheel and another bent one. A little feedback on the unisteer rack kit is don't buy one. It leaks like crazy and seems to be pretty twitchy at higher speeds. I am now getting parts together to put a gearbox back on the car. |
