It has stickers on it from the Mammoth Lake California fire dept but have not been able to confirm any connection to it. No one there remembers it. It was bought at an auction by a pallet company in Reno and that's where my buddy bought it. I bought it from him and had to put an engine in it and then lifted it. Showing 65K miles. The interior is toast from sitting in the desert. Specs: SP code Buick 350, 3 speed column shift, 3.31 gears, welded in new WFO spring and shackle mounts in the front with RS44044 springs and installed 52" Chevy 4" soft ride leafs in the rear using RB-71 and RB-87 bushings. My lift cost me 750.00 bucks. I'm going to post up pics of the measurement marks in Tech. If you have a welder or a few good batteries and some leads I would suggest doing this if your on a budget. It turned out great but just by luck. I was prepared to buy less lift springs if I had to. Was just trying to show how well a cheap lift could be done on the early post mount Wagoneers. I got my front mount location measurements from a member 64wagoneer. Justin did the front of his and then waited to see how the rear of mine turned out. A/C is next and I have all of those parts. Just have to make my hoses and buy a new compressor and condenser.
