f/s: 1977 WAGON - Jack, what else?

Found at the yard
1977 Pontiac Station Wagon

I reckon the JACK or most of it would be Olds compatible
Has AM-FM radio
It has 4 pontiac sport wheels
400 CID pontiac engine
8.5" rear? Scallops on the cover's L/R sides, like ) (

I bought the steering wheel, as it was pretty nice and dirt cheap.

If you can use ANY of its parts, I suggest you call or text me right away
Chris 517..four four 9.oh 432
The stuff is absurdly affordable, like scrap metal prices, and I would expect you to cover my costs as well of course. For example the jack with all the tidbits would probably run about $50 delivered, and 20 of that the shipping costs. The radio would take some time to extract, so may cost a bit. They charge for tire removal if the wheels are of interest. Manual windows, power locks.

NO SHEETMETAL - this is Michigan.

'77 wagon ... those would have to be 5x5's then that would go sweet onto my '81 CC, wouldn't they? I don't suppose you could grab them and hold them until sometime around mid august? The rims on my CC make me unhappy, even with full covers.

Why are these things always blue?

Prof- it was a bust.
I got ONE wheel for hours of #$%#$%ing around.

One was relocated. Meh, maybe buy three...
They are 15" and Big Car pattern.
Lugnuts badly rusted.
Most come off anyhow. Not the last ONE. Severely rusted steel under the SS cap, bulged out to like an inch OD due to rust. pry it off to find basically a round rust-nut. Sockets are futile.

Hide the two loose wheel/ tires in nearby trunk, take keys. Find the relocated wheel/ tire, buy it. Head out to get a rounded-nut socket or hammer and chisel. Drop bad tire on wheel at Belle Tire to get rid of the tire. Ask about tires for the van- $250 for two tires, ouch.

Stores have NO twist sockets to suit. No time to order one. Go home, get hammer and long chisel, sharpen it nicely.

back to the bonesyard. Spent about a half hour banging away at the one remaining lugnut. It split into several pieces, leaving 2mm of seat/ nut down in the recess in the wheel. Chiseled the remaining part of the stud off. STILL will not let go of the wheel. Try prying the wheel off, nope. I had to give up.

Waited and waited for a wheelbarrow to get the other 2 wheels, only to find on sloser inspection that one has a bad rash spot, and the other has bad rust on the rim, to where the metal is to thin as to be useless.

The one I did buy, picked up on the way home, 15x7 JJ, has a gouge or ding on the inside rim lip. Probably serviceable but best used as a spare. No trim ring. Appears OK otherwise.
