I understand. This truck won't be done overnight no hurry. You can wait til spring if need be. I appreciate the help.

I didn't get out to check my parts truck today, -15 degrees out there. I will check on it but it just plain hurts out there so you'll have to bear with me.

I'll look at my 59 town wagon parts truck tomorrow after work and see if I have everything.

Awesome Just shoot me a PM with how much you want for it. Thank you very much

Does anyone have the correct emergency brake handle for my truck? I need all the in cab parts for it. If anyone has a picture of what I need to look for even that would be cool. I'm kinda getting sick of chocking my tires LOL.

When searching there I use these things ". Search for "town wagon" if you just type in town wagon you get a lot of unrelated things.

There is a clean 2 wheel drive one on the Dallas Texas craigslist for $4000. Item #4745738494. Been on there a while, probably be able to get it for less.

Thanks, Do you have some kind of program to search all cities or something?

I'm honestly scared what I will find once I get it blasted. What media do you suggest I use? It is on my bucket list to come to the Iowa rally one day. Do you know of any clubs worth looking into in the Colorado area?

The Dustless Blaster uses ground glass and water as a media that will not warp metal. An additive is added along with the media to halt flash rusting and works excellently. Go here to find a company to blast for you http://dustlessblasting.com The units are not cheap and made for someone to go into the business themselves but it works so well. Check out the videos and see for yourself.

I've been doing bodywork as a hobby for 42 years and love beating out dents. Sanding not so much especially a TW. The best thing I've got is a Dustless Blaster that will take off every spec of paint, rust or bondo on a body. There are blasters setting up shop all over the country looking to clean your sheet metal. I'd go that route on your current body or whatever you find. As far as rallies go there is one in California but the grand daddy is the Iowa Power Wagon rally held in Fairfield Iowa every June. Great time with a family reunion feel. I've been going since '01.

I too have been watching for clean town wagon bodies. Never any closer than 1000 miles from me. I search all of craigslist daily and do come across some clean looking southern bodies once in a while. I am pretty new to Town Wagons/Panels but have already accumulated 4 of them. I'll let my know if I see anything that looks like what you need. (As long as its something I don't need, Hahaha)
