I just found this thread and I DIG the Suby Goon! I owned a couple 80's loyal wagons but I have never seen the 70's version before, Looks like a 810 goon and a volvo had a bastard child :lol: I second the conversion to 6 lug and throwing some meats on there eventually. Plenty of cheap 6 lug wheels & tires on CL and it would set her off :cool:

Did you ever get any leads on a rear blinker thing cause im going out the coast tomorrow and cars out there ain`t much but plastics and glass because of rust..But can`t guarantee anything...

 

Also they are logging and fishing towns and since both are really bad,, parts are really cheap.
