When I found mine, it was the lowest milage and had all the option I wanted. I went and test drove it, looked it over, I wasnt sold on it because of the color. It was Red, and one of my last choices in color. So I kept searching. There were a ton of quad cab trucks with some of the options, but that wasnt enough room. The crew cab trucks I found, all had much higher miles, and non of the options I wanted. A few more weeks went by and I finally bit the bullet and went back to the Red truck. I have to say, I dont mind the color now, although I would of rather had a grey or darker color.
 
The pop, has a 11" wheel I got from Mitches protégé. I will find a pic.
 
I don't remember that when I was using it last year with the /6? Weird maybe someone from KPAX altered it? Or the wheel was back up more? Wonder if they make a spacer for it, think it is a grant wheel not positive though.

yea - I know I went through hell when I bought the one I have now... it's the whole thing you know - searching, test driving, dealing with the sellers - 'specially at a dealer! - just a royal PITA from start to finish... and then the payments start... insurance goes up... just grr....

Thanks but I want to save the fabric on it it is in great shape and OEM. Have a upholstery guy that will fix it for $100, just need to get it pulled and down there.

nice! didn't know the springs could be fixed
 
The wheel, fuel pump, vac pump, line lock, and a spot for the NOS when it goes on in the future. I will go get a pic hard to explain it. I wanted them right there so I did not butcher the dash and they are easy to get to. Hey the wheel was 5 or 10 forget which.

Ray,
I cant drive my car like a normal car. I have to 2 foot it. There is not enough room for me to move my right foot over to the brake pedal. I also have a bench seat but a smaller wheel (15").

I noted some changes I need to make when I drove the Swinger to Farmington and back. The seat/ wheel/ brake-gas pedals are all off for my liking. I have a stock 3 spoke wheel which is closer to me than I like. The flat rimblow wheel should be better when I get it redone. The seat is a flat bench that needs to be tipped backwards slightly and the original upholstery is starting to come apart. When I recover I'll have Joel replace the Jute with memory foam so that I will sink in when I set kind of like a bucket seat with the bolster sides if that's possible to do. The brake pedal is quite high off the floor. Too bad a shorter master cylinder rod couldn't be used to lower the pedal closer to the floor and still have enough stroke to stop the car. I might just leave it as is. Don't want to mess with safety! lol
