    Loved my Volvo's. Everything leaning and offset? No wonder in retirement I'm having to rehabilitate from being crooked. :)

    I've not carried stuff in my back pocket.

    I switched into an International 2 weeks ago and I'm still feeling back strain, but I think it's in my mind now because the seat looks fine. That Volvo I had earlier though had a noticeable angle.

    Good chance it will take a hot minute for your back to start feeling better, doesn't take long to jack it up but seems like forever to start feeling better.
    I've had a handful of back strains recently & doesn't take much the older we get.
    Concentrate on how your sitting while driving, everytime I get back in the truck i stand straight up & sit back down to make sure im sitting square.
    Also how you walk because your body will favor other parts of the body, I know it sounds goofy but make sure heel toe & bend knees.
    Be surprised while paying attention that you could be walking flat foot or even with a hitch in your giddy up that you have no reason for.
