    I knew you would hold on to the 4-door if it were nice. Everyone needs a 4-door!:yup:

    I drive a 72-4 door almost every day, and I love it! They are very practical, and they ride much softer than the 2-doors.(y) The 6 inches really makes a difference.

    (The other times I drive my 69 T-Bird which, of course rides even better).

    I'm pretty sure it's 103" (2-door) & 109" (4-door) or 6" different.

    (After all: 103" + 10" or 113" wheelbase would be just one inch short of the 114" wheelbase of the '75-'79 T-Bird)

    I hope you continue to buy cars in MO. I enjoy having you here and we always have fun. Your room is open anytime if you need a place to crash.

    I knew about the Grabber light switch but I didnt know that about the seat belt light. I figured it was a mid-year change like the doors, they have the 73 style door panels and 73-77 door latches and arm rests. Mine is a late 72 LDO so that is where I assumed everything came from.
