    That was a thought, though briefly I must say... Much prefer the driveablity and improved control of a strut front with rack and pinion steering. It's only a 95" wheelbase, no reason to compound the problems inherent with a short wheelbase.....

    Techinspector1;
    I was wondering if this looks legal to you.
    It's my buddies car, and his bed cover lifts up.
    Maybe this spoiler is not big enough or is under 22ins.
    I know it can't be hooked to the frame.
    I only ask because I was thinking of using the same type
    spoiler. thanks Kurt
    here's the web site.

    Oh yeah Kurt, I don't think any tech inspector is gonna have a problem with that one. It sure is beautiful on that truck. Just what it needed in the rear.

    Hey Dave, what about filling in those side windows like suggested and leaning those rear pillers forward kinda like the soft tops on the original Broncos.

    Tried that already, soon as they lean forward it starts throwing everything out of proportion. They have the same angle as the front post now, more of a sedan delivery look to it...filling the side windows is a definite yes to complete the effect.
