60Patrol

I am wondering if anyone has found a cover that fits the Patrol well. I was considering picking up a Jeep cover off of Amazon. Anybody have any ideas or suggestions?

Right now Chad and I are cleaning the engine and removing decades of gunk. One of the lessons I am trying to instill in my son is that a significant portion of time spent in order to be a good mechanic is actually spent CLEANING! It gives you time to think about each part as you clean it. It is also...

Thanks, I was gone much longer than I had intended. Life sort of gets in the way sometimes. I have to keep momentum going this time. As soon as the weather gets al little dryer I hope to really get going.

"Should be easy"..... NOW...I know I am in deep doooo doooo! I can't wait to get this project started.....

My son and I are about to start a Patrol Project. The Patrol has been tented for almost 10 years. It was in great shape but not running when I put it away. 10 years went by in the blink of an eye. A couple of weeks ago I picked up an extra driveline from a 67 Patrol. We are in the information gather...

Paul, I am super impressed by your work. I am just about to start a 1968-9 project with my son and will reference your posts a great deal. Great job....just looks fantastic.
