It is a 2wd, has a/c even, but no power locks or windows....I like the supershort shortbed idea, were ya gonna use a shortbed frame and shorten the bed I assume?...was thinkin of that a while back myself, but hate to butcher a good bed, however it would look really cool. If I were to do it I would use a wide bed to shorten, would be more work I realize, but the end result would be awesome...my version had the inside of the bed as nuttin but tubs, with battery and fuelcell tucked between 'em...has a 440/727 in it.It almost got bought out from underneath me,but the guy felt so bad he let me take it instead...had actually taken the money from the other guy. Glad he understood. Bill good to hear someone else thinks like I do.....

It is cool, windy and clear here today, supposed to get a dusting of the white stuff tomorrow. I will be making the final shop load just before Christmas. Then one more of Personal stuff, have gotten rid of most of that, as we already have a full housefull there in Oklahoma. And Webster, you are right, it is what life is about, having friends and family this time of year more than any other. Bill

That's not the "commitee look", it's the 73-87 Chevy PU look! Around here,anyway!
Nothing to see here. Carry on.

The patchwork look detracts from the overall value of the vehicle,but it isn't always feasible to do otherwise,untill the funds are availible. some times the spray bomb primer even looks better.

Go for it!!!I dont know what exaust manifolds the motor home units have,but headers are available. I lucked out and found a set of factory manifolds in a salvage yard. I used mounts from a 400 truck.....
