This ones for the stock guys Wink
I kinda like the funtionality of this one, you end up with small wheel tubs in bottom, and An almost 12 inch inside deep wagon.

They will just stick on with double sided tape, they are 2 1/2 inches and you could polish them up if you like. Later

I thought of an other idea, if you dont like the pistol grip or the regular wagon handle, I could put on a bus shifter knob, so it looks like a shift lever.
