That's an awesome Cruiser, Steve. I'm envious - mine was never in that good of shape, even when I bought it in 1983 or so.

Is it still a three speed? I kept mine as a three on the tree just so I could put a car seat in the middle between my wife and I (mine had the full width three piece bench seat). Note the folded up red (Federal) .22 LR box in the wing window latch to keep it from whistling:



I see yours has the the bigger 2F engine, with its full flow oil filtration system. I made the same swap in mine when the original F engine just flat wore out at about 285,000 miles. I like the earlier rear door setup as well; my room mate had a '78 with the ambulance doors, which left the tailgate area open when we took the roof off. We just blocked it with a piece of plywood.

I see yours still has the early single pot master cylinder. My '71 already had the dual pot, and a vacuum brake booster. I updated the booster to the newer, bigger, and more reliable one.

Anyway, very nice old Cruiser you have there.
