As far a driving goes, with a twin I-beam, the steering angles are continually changing. How could they drive good?

I've had several Fords that had tons of miles on them that the doors just click shut, and I've had tons of Chevy's with relatively low miles that the doors were ripped where the hinge mounts because the limiter broke and the doors droop so bad that they will hardly shut. In my experience, the Ford's hinges are much more robust and hold up better than the flimsy hinges on our Chevy's. I've currently got seven 67-72 Chevy trucks right now, and only two of them have doors that really shut correctly.


We are total agreement about the Twin I Beam!
