I have been working away on my 67 109" diesel carawagon. Rebuilt the following: 2.25 diesel engine, and injector pump, fitted a Gm alternator, full top rebuild "thanks Robin", seats, rear end, brakes, and interior because the cabinets were removed at some point. I am posting some pics...

Thank you for the feed back. It is safe to say the valve timing has not been set in some time. I found the truck and it had been sitting for about 18 years. I think I will replace the chain and sprockets with it is opened up again and set the timing just to be safe. It has a Casptan winch so it look...

My timber is rotted and split. What size is it stock? looks like two different thicknesses.

Thanks for the compliment on the seat. My daughter could not believe I knew how to sew. She laughed as I pulled out and dusted off my 30yr old all metal sewing machine.

Hello all! This is Richard from California. I have got my hands on what I found out is a 1967 109" Carawagon. It had been sitting for some time but the California climate is kind to old cars. It has a 2.25L diesel and it is not that common in the states so has been a bit of a hunt for some of t...
