    TRW Rear Springs

    I've had some good luck with TRW brand replacement rear springs in G-bodies. The gist of TRW suspension stuff that I've been told about and saw for myself is that it was re-engineered if there was some problem with the stock design. The regular rear springs on a G-body are great examples of...

    swap heat-only to ac

    So I'm a contrary type -- but with all the ac delete panels out there, I would think somebody had to do this. I just looked at a nice Malibu with the popular heat-only box and all the other original stuff, like vent controls under the steering wheel, the dash controller, the correct behind-dash...

    Aftermarket cruise control

    Does anyone have experience with any aftermarket cruise control kits? I was on JC Whitney looking at kits, and the S&S Automotive kits caught my eye. I'm trying to figure out whether the wiper, washer and turn signal can be operated by the stalk (even though it says no on the JC Whitney site...

    VIN sheets

    I saw that we had some of the VIN sheets for the G body years, so I found all of them from GM's dealer site. They are currently in my photo album, and feel free to use them. If the mods/admins would like to move them elsewhere, that's great. The files 78-88, are here...

    "new" parts

    I was surfing through the wagons area, and came across the rollpan thread. A rollpan is the replacement of the rear bumper, most often with sheet metal or fiberglass in such a way as to bring the bumper closer to the body, shrink it, and eliminate the plastic spacers between the big-*ss...

    Bunch-o-wagons

    Man, I thought these things were rare. Rather than keep hijacking my gas tank thread, I moved it here. Using Craigslist, I looked in PA and the states around me, and found several G wagons -- most with pictures. I am not putting listings without pictures below (aside from a factory 4-speed...

    gas tank capacity

    I'm in the process of deciding whether to give in to my wagon lust with a Regal wagon I am currently looking at. One of the things I'd like to make the wagon into is a road-tripper. On that score, what's the capacity of the stock tank? Compared to the sedan/coupe, it looks seriously small...

    Hey guys

    As it says in my username, I'd love a G-body wagon. I am working on the SO. Part of the wagon lust/interest is the size of family ... gotta fit the crew. Since 1984 or so, my family have had stacks of G body cars. My former cars are below, but a few others that I never quite made my own, but...
