From this past Sunday's mod day

[Night Wolf]

lets see that hatch area

This is what you need:
Bezel from a LTZ/9C1. If you use the OCC/Roadie bezel you also need the dashpad out of the OCC/Roadie.

Ah, that's right, I had forgotten about the dashpad difference. I hit up a few junkyards trying to find a matching bezel, but no luck thus far. Anyways, I shall quit jacking your thread.

Looks good! Looks like we have the same color interior...I really need to find a blue OCC bezel so I can run a Caprice LTZ digital dash (I've got one) or the OCC cluster with the tachometer. The cluster I have is different since the idiot lights aren't part of the cluster itself.

[Accrdwgnguy]

yea idk about that. I have a mack 24" air horn somewhere. lol

Seats are in.





The manual caprice passenger rails required some creativity to work.

Train horns. Eric.

Train horns. I rest my case.

Also, went yarding the other day and picked these up. Very rare blue Bonneville bucket seats.



I got the rear seat too but it needs extensive work to fit in. Shouldn't be an issue tho.

I love it!

I actually had no idea Oldsmobile had a version of it. My aunt used to have a wood panelled Roadmaster back in the day.

Yup, and I much prefer the Oldsmobile version. Vista roof without the woodgrain or flashy chrome trim.

Does this one have air ride in the rear?

My friend's father had a Caprice wagon with the police package, which I guess was a rather rare beast, but I remember it having a real neat rear suspension setup.

This would be the perfect vehicle for a killer sleeper.

No air ride, this is actually a low optioned OCC. Still has a tach cluster tho which is great.

The police package (1A2) Caprice wagons are quite rare, GM only sold around 200 of them every year from 91 to 96. I found one for sale in NYC, it had 50k miles but looked like it had been sitting in one spot outside for a long time. I wanted a driver not a project so I skipped it.

Ford rear sway bar installed today. The components that went into the install:



17mm rear bar and new endlinks scavenged from a junkyard 98 Mercury Grand Marquis, and Prothane universal 17mm bushing kit. Fairly easy install, hoping it'll tighten up the handling.

[Accrdwgnguy]

I'd like to lower it a little, this height would be perfect.

You're right. There is the f2b kit which allows you to bolt in 4th gen Camaro pedals, pricy however. My plan to is get a 98+ S10 NV3500, since the shifter location is ideal, the gear ratios are decent, and they can be had cheap. The slave cylinder is the same as a later T56 so I can use all Camaro hydraulics.
