So I just bought one of these for a gear hauler

[Jeff Romard]

I blew the motor in my van and I needed something for the time being. 5L motor over 200,000 miles and works awesome. The pic isn't mine but it's pretty much identical but in better shape

Let him know it's working well

Jeff,
The SW should work well, the only thing I would add to it in case it's not equipped from the factory is a transmission cooler and an engine oil cooler other than that you should have no problems as it is correct wheel drive and a V8.

Tint the windows.

 

[Jon Tuck]

Jeff make sure you keep the radiator and cooling system in good order. Otherwise its spacious and will work well until you gain another option.

 

[DjDennis]

sorry got away from wagons 10 years ago

now a seated van does me and I can remove seats as I need

 

[Jon Tuck]

in a pinch these rigs will do. For sure.

 

[Dan The Man]

We have a name for those up in my neck of the woods. I'm sure Rick can tell ya. Pretty much everyone has moved on to vans but you still see a good number of the older Caprice wagons on the road.

 

[Jeff Romard]

Tint the windows.

Illegal in Nova Scotia...All I would be able to tint is the back passenger ones

These old rigs hold up pretty good. Back in my taxi days we had one with over 750,000 miles on it. The Tranny was changed a few times but the only thing done to the motor ever was the water pump

 

[B-Sharp]

It's roomy, but not exactly accessible for DJ gear-hauling purposes. You'll miss the sliding side doors on your van, because very few things fit through the doors of a station wagon.

Additionally, the lower roofline of the wagon means that you'll be doing a lot more bending and leaning to get your gear into the car. Vans can totally be backsavers.

Good luck.

 

[Jeff Romard]

Yeah I agree Brendan I had a great time schucking the subs out last weekend.

It's a stop-gap for now. I needed something quick and really didn't want a payment. To tell you the truth though I can fit anything I have through the side doors even the subs although that's a tight squeeze. I generally use the back door and slide it up

@Jacob. I checked it today the cooler is there. It also has a LT1.

 

[DJ SVO]

If it's an LT1 then it's a 5.7 L (350) not 5.0 L (305) so things are looking better

 

[Jeff Romard]

LOL Yup.... I just noticed I didn't put the .7 in the first post

 

[Bill Kexel]

You can get woodgrain like the Griswold's "Family Truckster"!

 

[Jeff Romard]

Makes it look like it's still in the box lol

 

[Hank Davidson]

I used a Sable wagon up until 2004. Worked fine.

After you tint the windows, don't forget the soccer ball sticker for the back window! J/K!
