    Which would be bags only in your case, I havn't decided. They have bags that will go right into the stock spring, which will still let me lvl ride hight depending on load but not really lower. But I can't really go lower. Any smaller tire in the front and I hit the cradle sometimes on our rough streets, which leave little room to drop the body any. I only have big gaps in the rear from smaller tires, yet it rides lvl, but left to right isn't as lvl of course from my fat azz.

    I could fill the gap with big tires in the rear but smaller work better right now with the highway gears rear end. That no one makes gears for. Its a real odd ball GM rear end, 10bolt cover, 12bolt carrier. can't even get a cover gasket for it. Its parts won't fit in a 10 or 12bolt n vise versa.
    you can still rebuild the POSI though ;)

    No I don't mind. It's from a combination of different things. I have Neuropthy from Chemo treatments and then diabete's made it worse. No feeling in my legs from my knees down to my feet,so it's under Doctors orders. I can do a lot of damage to feet and leg. So I have been looking for a wagon since I will need hand controls soon. I want to fix up my truck but realisticly I can't drive it since it's a manual trans.

    I've never heard them called that. My gramps lost one leg to gangrene in 1964, so he had his 1958 Belair refitted to drive without the right leg. Then in 1980, they cut the other one off, so he had the old Belair refitted for hand controls. Stubborn ex-Mountie, died climbing into it, at 88 years old, to go to the grocery store. Can't keep a good man down. That was his horse, and he was gonna ride it. Period.:rofl2:

    House Harley, eh? Who cleans up the skid marks to the remote? :rofl2: A man with his own Hog, inside the house, no less. :D

    So you need a big old 2-door wagon, made from a 1963 Lincoln 4-door convertible with suicide doors. Ramp into the rear side door, wheel the hog into the driver's area, and drive like the wind. Raise the top on rainy days. Hmmm...

    Wouldn't that be the cat's meow? I wonder if anyone ever built a wagon with Suicide doors? Always liked that, even though I got thrown from one, when I was about 5 years old. Some drunk sideswiped my dad from the passenger side and I was on the driver's side and the door popped open and sent me flying head first into a wet farmer's field. Only got a cut lip.

    Yeah! You could have a House Hog's Lincoln Hauler Estate! :rofl2:

    Not a bad idea at all Norm but finding a old Lincoln is expensive and near impossible.

    Some of the post war Pontiacs? My dad's was a 1939 Poncho. I'd guess that Buicks and Chevies had them too. Finding a wagon might be the tougher part.
