Son of Lars Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Found a 69 Patrol for sale, during my hunt for a 521 or 620 truck. It's cheap, close to home, and runs. It's WAY more of a project than I was looking for, but the cool factor has me intrigued. Talked to the seller tonight, and set up an appointment for tomorrow. Quote Link to comment
510sAreHot Posted March 15, 2012 Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Right on man.. looks like a kick in the butt but i'm all in for those Quote Link to comment
Son of Lars Posted March 15, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 15, 2012 Apparently it runs quite well, all 3 gears work, reverse works, clutch works, and 4wd works, which is all a bonus. And the frame is also apparently rust free. What we can see for rust, is (again, apparently) all it has. Guess I'll find out tomorrow! Quote Link to comment

Son of Lars Posted March 24, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2012 Well, I bought it! Picked it up on Monday, and began work on it immediately. Has rust in the firewall, and the fenders. Both are available new, but I've sourced a clean used firewall already. Fenders will be ordered new. Truck runs, drives, shifts, and steers. It kinda stops, but I've really only sorted out the rear brakes so far. Quote Link to comment
