Had stock wheel and a couple of buckets out of who knows what in my 57 Panel. In my 48 stock steering and a mid 70's truck wheel that is way too frigging high to be comfortable. That was more due to the concept that I was going to blow it apart and do it right but I was so broke church mice brought me care packages the last few years I had it on the road. My wife wrecked or tore up cars on a regular basis in those days and quite often the 48 was our family vehicle for all occasions. She hasn't had a wreck in 3 years which is somewhat of a record for her. I got rear ended Thursday and my Geo Prizm Gsi got totaled in the process though.
