    Yeah I used to have that skull shift knob in my f250. It's cold as hell in the winter and burns you after sitting in a parking lot all day in the summer haha

    the interior looks pretty much how i bought it except the stereo work door pods ect. the dash pad is stock just painted black, the stock interior color was nasty brown. the carpet is a kit i believe, and I have no idea were the seats came from. i also added about 40lbs of raammat and ensolite sound deadening in there also.

    Hey man, it might be a good idea to get your caster/camber checked out, chances are that its your problem, You can actually do it yourself or you can opt for a professional to do it with the computers and gauges, I opted for that and had the alignment checked out after I static dropped my 87 ( before I bagged it :rolleyes: ) and it made a world of a difference. They found 1 tie rod shot, and 3 degrees on the drivers side that needed adjusted, after that I went ahead installed a new steering stabilizer just for good measure! Get a professional alignment, have them check it all out, money and stress relief medicine " well spent "! Now if you plan to bag em' or it anytime soon, save the cash, cause things change 10 fold, or if ya have a full travel FBSS system, you can throw the idea of comfortable out the window, unless you stay at one level only when you drive, but I dont know any minitrucker that does that, I know I sure dont :D . . . Goodluck man . . .
