Re: Steering wheel

My L-110 now has a Flaming River column and their Navigator wheel.

LLOYD SAID:, I think that you are much younger than say Myself and Buzz, so our perspectives are a bit different.
Yah, you two are such old Codgers. McD's should be giving the two of you free half cups of coffee so you don't spill from the shaking. I ask for a lid.

Re: Steering wheel

If I still drank coffee, I would ask for the lid and at least 3/4 of a cup! And I cherish that 50 cent discount at Golden Corral! :lol:

Re: Steering wheel

Thanks for the compliment. My wife said that if we are going to be putting so much money into the truck, she wanted to ride in seats that had lumbar support, especially for those longer rides. (Yeah, we're old too) That meant the old bench seat did not qualify and I had to come up with seats that filled the bill. I originally wanted seats from a Tahoo or Yukon that had the seat belts mounted with the seats but upon further investigation found they would be too big front to back and closed off the leg swing space getting into and out of the cabin. So I went looking at a local salvage yard and came across these seats from a 2002 BMW 330i, 8-way adjustable - with lumbar support for the passenger side, too. I had the upholsterer leave off the head rests because they block the back windows. That's what is laying on the passenger side floor in the photos. As it has turned out, this truck truly is "international" with parts on it from all over the world and from different manufacturers. International, indeed! (And I think that International and flashy can be used in the same sentence!)

Im very passionate about cars, after I finish the L-112 I'd like to buy a 53 Mercury Coupe or a 54-55 Sun Valley :D

Re: Steering wheel

Is this guy someone you would call a Whipper Snapper, also? I thought that I should remind you, because your very old age may have slowed the response of your thinker too. Just asking;-}>
