This is AZ so they are in great shape cosmeticly (sp i know) but are easy to move around. If I slam the driver door I need to readjust it. Should be fairly easy to tighten up I just don't know it. If you are interested I will take some up close pics for you. They are factory to this truck & that is it's original paint.

I will do some investigating on the adjustments...and my folks have spent years in AZ so I'm sure they are in great shape. I do want something that requires no farting around with it though.

No sweat...

Well after taking it off & looking at it in the house there does not apear to any adjustment. The head is mounted on a smooth ball with a plastic bushing. It is not like floppy loose just easy to move I think that a little bit of green loctite on it to slow it down & all would be good. I just don't like the look of them on my truck & they are small.

Let me do some looking...not to sound like an anal bastard..but I want to have this truck as close to perfect as I can.

 

[Austin]

I want to have a truck that I start once a month and move a couple of feet in the garage.

Okay Mark!

 

[DNFXDLI]

Okay Mark!

If I did that it wouldn't be started once a month...it would be left like the Shelby..on blocks with a battery tender in a climate controlled place and not started until I drove it...

[DNFXDLI]

My intention is to drive it..but ya never know, that was the intention with the car.

I had plans once... they got thrown out the window on day two.
