Ontario, Canada 140-160

posted by  someone claiming to be hudson on  Tue Oct 28 17:03 CST 2003 [RELATED]

I have a 72 142 in Ontario, Canada. Had to weld in the section of frame directly under the drivers seat after I got it on a hoist for the first time and started poking at things to get started on the safety. The rear inner wheel wells have been replaced at least twice, ditto with some sections of the floor pans. The A pillars are terrible too. The PO was using it as a daily driver in the winter it seems. Despite all this it's pretty solid for around here and having spent all it's life in the area. I think most of that is due to volvos
?double? uni body design. I hadn't even noticed that the frame rail underneith me was nearly entirely roted out when I was initially driving it.

There are 122s and p1800s on the road around here in the summer (few people are insane enough to drive old cars in the winter here) but you hardly ever see a 140 series or 164 on the road.
