New Patrol Owner - 69 Hardtop

[jeffs69Patrol]

Just purchased my 69 Patrol about 2 weeks ago.

The person that I purchased it from found it out in a field about 2 yeas ago, purchase it and placed it in his garage where he did nothing with it.

I saw my first Patrol a couple years ago when I purchased my house, the neighbor had one sitting in the back yard wasting away, I approached him many time to purchase it from him but he wouldn't budge.

I found this Patrol on Craigslist about 2 weeks ago and brought it to its new home in California.

I am new to the Patrol but not new to building cars, I am also working on a 1968 Chevy Camaro Super Sport.

I haven't started it yet as the transmission and transfer case had been removed when I brought it home so I plan soon to remove the clutch plate and will try to turn it over and see what I have, compression seems good.

I know where there is a engine, trans. transfer, pto, and rear diff. don't know the shape of the motor. It was left uncovered for a year. There is also a radiator, interior heater box with core and some other things.

I may be interested in some of those parts, I need the interior heater components, back seat frames, a radiator, and of course with these some spare parts isnt a bad idea.

Need some other small items like door latches for the back doors also and might need guages, i have them but they are a little rough and were left outside so the paint is starting the peal off the guage faces.

Welcome to 60Patrol! Congratulations on your new project. Please keep us posted, it will be great to watch another Patrol brought back to life. Where in CA are you? There are various Patrol owners scattered around the state.

I have the latch you need here in Vallejo.

[jeffs69Patrol]

The outher door flip latch or the inside bottom left door latch?

Technically i need both

Really... we are neighbors!!

You didnt have a red one listed in Craigslist for sell recently did you?

Im working on bringing mine back to life

Question for all, when i got this one the trans was removed, i want to try to get it running but is it advised with the trans out and the clutch and disk plat still installed? I want the clean up the trans, replace the seals, and fill it with clean gear oil before i refill it.
