the grill and fender change made a big differance, looks great, I had a 86 spacecab and loved it but it rotted away, engine never died tho, 2.2 diesel went to So America. I like the steering wheel too, welcome to the club, your gonna like it here.
I live in my own little world, but its OK they know me here.
