I am in the midst of scrapping out my old blue '63 Wagonaire. Trying to save all the good bits. Does anyone want to have the X-member out of the frame? Most of the frame is badly rusted, but that piece is fine. The car is upside-down on the grass right now, and I'm taking rear axle and front suspension out of it. I could cut the frame rails with my acetylene torch quite readily. It's a heavy piece, and shipping would be, uh, problematic. The tailgate is earmarked for my own use; other parts may be available. The sliding roof bits are sort of degraded, and I wasn't planning on saving them.

Since your car is upside down, I guess there isn't any chance of any good roof rack bits?sigpic1957 Packard Clipper Country Sedan

I could use the tailgate step ladder if it came equipped with one. Ladder plus all mounting hardware.1947 Studebaker M-5

The roof rack was sold off it several years ago. I wouldn't have allowed it to be destroyed. I have one tailgate step that I know of, and am saving it for my good Wagonaire. Should I discover a second one, I will post it here. As for an engine test stand, I already have a '61 Lark rolling chassis I use for that purpose.
Got the rear axle ( model 44 ) and front suspension out of it yesterday. And the rear springs. I'm not going to bother taking the X-member out. It's quite a chore, and I'd use up too much acetylene and oxygen.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta BadlandsComment

Well, the hulk is loaded on the trailer, and most of the doors, fenders, etc. are piled inside it. I will fill it as full as I can with other scrap metal before it goes to the knackers' yard.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta BadlandsComment

What is the rear end gears ratios are thanks RaymondrawiseComment

Does this have the white rocker headlight switch?Comment
-
I saved the rear end, and the dash cluster. I can check the ratio on the gears. It was an automatic, so either 3.31 or 3.07, I think. And yes, it has white rocker switches. I have quite a few of them.
Oh, I got a whole $21 for the hulk. Really not worth the cost of the fuel to haul it. I picked up a Brand X, gifted to me, on the backhaul. Without that, the trip would have been a net loss.Gord Richmond, within Weasel range of the Alberta BadlandsComment

I just joined the forum as I received a 1963 lark in trade. Having some issues with the headlights. How much would you sell a few of those switches for? Also do you have the window felt? Would it be better if I pmd you directly a list of things I'm looking for?Comment
