Now that is funny!

Chris, the bars were a thoughtful modification to your truck. Good reasoning there. Now, to check for updates on the wagon....

Re: My version of the s10 swap

Leaving on the Power Tour this coming Friday. Three years ago when I had finished the truck I had the cruise control wired, but it didn't work. The steering column had come from a truck I didn't drive so I couldn't verify that cruise controls worked. The cruise module came from a different truck that I also didn't drive so also couldn't verify that worked either. I finally made time to dig into it, and thanks to help from the swap section of the forum I was able to diagnose and fix it. I ended up having 2 problems, the switch on the column didn't work and since I have LED taillights I didn't have enough resistance for it to work. I replaced the switch, and then wired the coil of a relay into my brake system and now the cruise works wonderfully!

16 hour drive to NC will be much more enjoyable now!

Re: My version of the s10 swap

I love this build thread, but have you considered this "Scrub Line" you have created. I was always told never have your rim edge above your scrub line. If a tire blows out at high speed, you will be dragging suspension parts causing possible lack of control. If you think I'm wrong on this, PLEASE school me on what is correct.
