In my taking the top off post, I forgot to grab pictures of the actual top after it had been removed, so here they are:
Station Wagon Top – Side View
The roof has tabs on either side that were not fastened to the truck. The top was quite heavy, so the tabs made roof removal difficult as we had to lift the tabs over the body. The rack is not an original piece. It is in pretty good condition with a little rust on a few spots. Otherwise, the rack galvanized finish has held up well.
Staion Wagon Top – Rear View
The prior owner applied some stickers. I’ve seen a few other sites where the restorer copied the stickers and replaced them. This is something to consider.
Station Wagon Door with Tire Carrier
As discussed in a prior post, the door hinges were in good shape, but the bolts were so corroded that they could not be loosened. After cutting the nuts off, the door was easy to remove.
