I know Heel's Creak makes some of the best lifts for those old waggys..

Just ask when your looking for something I'm sure some one can find you a store that sells it..

 

I'm a big fan of OLD SCHOOL rides and this one looks cool...
I wanna see how it would look like after some nice restorations...

 

Moved to "other Jeep Chat"

I hope to see more of this build. I like the title but do you plan on making it at least look like a wagoneer.

 

Not sure I follow ya, It is a wagoneer, not sure how I could change that....

 

Nice looking keep it original looks the biz

 

I think he's talking with the more known Waggy front end..

 

I like this front end, seems rugged to me. To me this is wagoneer like :P Station wagon meets truck, the later 70's AMC ones look more station wagon like. I know you really cant judge a book by its cover, especially if it has a 360 V8 in it :P

I guess I am just hick-ish and like my old trucks...

 

It's classic looking the way it is. Reminds us all of a simpler time..

 

Surfing Craigslist the other day I came across another 65 Jeep Wagoneer...

The Engine is a AMC v8 Vigilante but other then that and the colors its the same... The only catch is he wants to leep the Grill and hubs... Talk about timing...

Anywho thought I should keep you all updated, Thank you nick_n_ii for the other site Its been a big help!

 

Not sure if the "early" and "late" AMC V8s share the same mounts, but I'd probably swap for a good 401 build and store the six in original condition.

As for the body, it's actually in really good shape from what I can see. I'd keep it as original and straight as possible and go for a resto-mod look. Maybe add period-style rims and a mild lift to get it off the ground a bit more, but nothing too drastic.

That paint color is not one I've seen often on Wagoneers, but then I haven't seen many that old on the road, either!

 

that thing almost looks like a lowrider in those pics haha. Ill trade you an all original 66 mustang convertible coupe for it
