Don't worry about brother, god watches all and justice get's served eventually. Try not to stress about who or why they did it. Carma exists and it will come back and kick you in the ass. 8)

Mondays junk yard find.
Complete with good cancelors for the turns and a light up PRND21 Indicator. Just wish the bulb was not behind the wheel but in the back of the little cover that goes over the Prend21.

No new pics yet But i have my 77 cruise control wheel in my 72 And it looks so pretty it went right in and fits perfectly. now i need to rewire it and for all who are thinking of this swap remember to change out the firewall seal for a 67-72 as the 73-79 mount slightly higher up.

Also you will need to slightly adjust the Automatic linkage as its off by about 5/16-1/2" Didn't actualy measure just eyeballed it.

Easily done though as you only need to adjust it at the transmission end and thats just two nuts.
