I love mine and you can find some incredible deals if you look for a while. IMO, they drive a lot nicer than the A's.
The cost of parts are sometimes less and sometimes more... anybody got a nice grille for a 78 Aspen...  Occasionally it helps to have friends that are F body morticians.
I love yours too

 The generic mopar manual box fits the F/M K frame with no modifications. Plenty of length in the column shaft overlap to extend it out to fit the box. The rag jointed lower section makes it simpler if you decide to add the length there. The F body Manual steering pitman arm is still available as is the manual brake master. I was out running errands in the wagon today  They are fun to drive, for sure!

I did a '76 Aspen Wagon.....Schumacher mounted 360/727. I had to custom make a driveshaft, adapted a Diplomat dash, police seats, 275-60r15 tires out back, 235-75r15 on the front and got rid of the iso-suspension on the leaf springs. I ran out of money to change the rear gears. Ran a 14.16 with iron exhaust manifolds and axle dumps. 3900 pounds.
I loved that car, had some hard times and had to sell it. AND I would do it AGAIN!!!

There's a guy with a couple F's over in the Boise area...might be interested in selling. 
You thinking of that cop?
No Lindy, I never think much of him 
The guys name is Gordie and he has a few F bodies. I believe he is a member here but I cant remember his handle  A little case or CRS at the moment
