Hello from Garden City KS

Post by gregwford »

I would like to introduce myself. I have been a member for awhile and have gained a lot of knowledge on this site.
My name is Greg and I live in Garden City KS. I bought a 1966 Patrol L60 hardtop from my grandpa back in 2021 and have slowly been taking it apart to restore it.
My grandpa bought it in 1967 in Basalt CO and drove it for many years around the Glenwood Springs and Snowmass areas.
It sat for 20 years and I picked it up in Grand Junction and hauled it out to KS.
None of the brakes worked and I could not get the engine to turn over. It has quite a bit of rust on the body panels and on the lower frame crossmember.
It was used to plow snow for many years and had alot of dirt packed around the frame and skid pan.
I just got the frame sandblasted and will start working on the axles next.
Thanks for letting me join. I appreciate the list of parts of what works and what doesn't.
Greg

Welcome to the forum Greg!! This is definitely the place for 60 Patrol owners to come for help. There are a number of folks on this forum who know all the ins and outs of Patrols, and willingly share that knowledge.

Great to see a Patrol that's been in the family ever since.
