[T2] Buying a 71 Bay

[c.dreike]

I certainly enjoyed the music video.

On another note, I am buying a 71 deluxe from Colorado. Its been 
somewhat refurbished so it looks nice. The engine and tranee, I'll find 
out when I get there next week. Plan is to drive it home to L.A.
I'm new to bays.

What size head is on the lug nuts? Is it the same as a splitty?
Is the swing lever the same as on a splitty?
I have plenty of tools for my split.
I'm told it has a jack and a spare tire. Not so much for a stock tool kit.
Wondering what tools I will need to buy.

Cheers,
Chris

71 Deluxe coming soon.
