New owner of a 63 SWB

Post by Lukeg60 »

This is my first Patrol ever owned and glad its a 60, brought off farmer and had no idea it had a hemi 245 in it and more bashed around then i first thought. so it's ended up as my project and i originally wanted to go back to original look but its to far gone from that so i've decided to turn it into more of a beast then the 60's already are :D

Welcome to 60Patrol! :dance: :dance: :dance:

I was noticing the full floating rear axle, before reading Michael's comments.

We need more pictures of the rear axle. Have no clue at the moment of a possible origin.

Cool Project. Any chance you would post a close-up photo of the mud flap mounting bracket and measurements?
Thanks,
