Five Five Nomad .. Yeah you have.! very cool ! Looks like old school Tuck and Roll Seats..!? . Can't wait to see what you do with it..
I had a 57 2dr post (210) back in the day with a Straight Axle.. GASSER !... I have soft spot for the Tri-Five's..

Very nice. When we were looking for a project car (before we found our 66 Chevelle) we came across a 56 Workmaster Wagon - very similar to that but without the nomad parts. I really liked that car but my wife says we have to find her a Tri-5 coupe. I just couldn't convince her the wagon was cool.

I think its our duty and commitment to keep our wifes on their toes, if we didn't they wouldn't have anything to bitch about... ok, they'd still find stuff. lolI couldn't agree more, love the wife do death but sometimes she just got to face the facts.

Sorry guys I hate to disapoint ya but my wife digs the nomad more than me it is her #1 just like mine. She is on board with both of the cars. The only problem I have is the second was purchased with the intent to safrice it to build the nomad. Problem is it is a very low miles 1 owner 4door belair survivor. Perfect barn find paint. Complete car it may be too nice to do that. If it is we will get it running untouched. And start enjoying it as grand kid hauler until the mad is done. It is a long term deal going to do it all correct this time.
Sound like you got a problem.. but if the 4dr is a good runner. .yeah.. I'd leave it and just drive it.. can't be destroying good cars just for parts.. at least not the older classic ones. there just isn't enought of them around any more.
You should be able to find another part car to help restore the Nomad...
Also.. I emailed my friend to see what year and what he has left.

That's really cool. It is awesome having a wife who gets these cars too. Now if I could just get mine to get out there and finish my LS swap while I work that would be great.
