I just looked but I do not have a good close up picture, maybe a 61 owner will post a picture for us. It alway struck me as such a strange and unnecessary thing to change. 61s have it on the three engine are covers as well as the panel over the heater and the back of the fold down rear seat. 62 are ...

Re: Lakewood vs Wagon interchangeability

I will add to what Tom said. The biggest thing is the master cylinder setup. 61s have the under dash setup shared with 60s and the 62s have the later style. The rear engine covers are the same sizes but 62 dropped the cool check pattern that 61s have. 61s have different cooling cutouts in the engine...

Re: Sound proof a Lakewood wagon

You can see it in the top picture it runs all the way around the engine cover. It will make a HUGE difference in how much sound gets threw, the same thing goes for the Side covers. The seal material and glue is not bad from Clark's. I will take a picture of one of the side covers for you and post it...

Re: Sound proof a Lakewood wagon

Thanks for the pics. I don't have the carpet & pad that go over the motor, It has the insulation pad underneath. Is the carpet factory or is it something you put in yourself? I just put my own carpet piece down that has a rubber mat attached underneath it, it made it a little more quite but cou...

Your van has been in the Milwaukee club for a long time and I have been on tours with it on a few occasions.

If all of these are in place and in good shape you should see a big drop in noise. I installed new door seals a...
