I have done the same thing with an 81 ford bronco...but it had 38x16.5 super swampers on it. It was a little harder to steer than what you had :D. Good job on keeping up the tradition of non conventional methods. I remember your pics of turning the mkIII over to rob the parts. I am sure if you are like me there will be more to come as well.

try this..

S10 chevy. 2wd.. no shifter or steering wheel.. but i put some miles on it!

yes, both pieces were vice grips.. i had 2 mounted to where the steering wheel used to go, so it was like handle bars. and a nice big pair stuck on what was left of the shifter.

that truck was entertaining to drive.
