Hi all,
I have just purchased a new vehicle and thought I would de-lurk and say hi.
Here is what I,ve got:
Body: '57 ****** Wagon. It's in great shape. Very little rust ,decent paint
and trim. Interior is fairly complete.
It is running on:
'77 Chevy 3/4 ton 4wd P/U with a Small Block 400. Runs great, drives pretty
nice.

I am looking forward to many fun projects and trips with it. I have been out
of the auto project loop for a few years and it should be fun to get back
into it.

I guess my first question is, do I even qualify to be in a Jeep+******
newsgroup or club? Even though it is a '57 Wagon which is very cool, will I
be shunned for not being "all Jeep/******"?

OK, my first serious question is:
It came without setbelts(I understand they were an option then). What kind
of setbelts could I put in? Can I do shoulder harnesses? Is there anything
there to support them? Where would be the best place to get them?(I would
like to go with new if I could.) How would I go about mounting them? Can I
just bolt them to the floorboard along with the seats?

Thanks for the advice in advance. This looks like a cool group and I look
forward to many fun experiences here and on/off the road.

P.S. Sorry if this got doubled but I did not see it and posted succesfully
to alt.test so I thought it must be me.

Gregg, sounds sweet! I always liked the WW! I've seen some awesome 4x4
conversions, too. Have fun with your new toy/project! :-D
