Hey Fam...just starting to get my 87 back up to snuff! Have had this for the last 20 years, and still as much fun as the first ride in her. 90,220mi and counting

Welcome OlBlue. (from another newbie).

I agree with Cheepthrills. The value of these vintage Wagons is amazing.

Off the wall question. Are the front & rear side marker light housings "metal chrome" or "chrome covered plastic"? I'd like to pick up a set, convert the lights to LEDs and graft them onto my J300. The ones offered from Crown are plastic.

Cheers,

Dave

They are all plastic, even the originals.

The switch to plastic was made in the early 80’s I think. Older ones were real chromed metal.
