Dang. I went through the stuff on the driver's side but did not see anything we needed that day.
Oh well, we got it going without a "hook".
Dan,
I still think you have a good one there. Just some tlc and maybe a 455 needed.

...agreed on the 455....but that will have to be the next guy's project. The fact is we put on 5500 miles on that 403 with no eng. problem what so ever. I will give it close attention to detail as to give good value for resale. I will redo elements of the interior...dinette...couch...new laminet flooring and so on, then offer her for sale.

Yes I will miss some things such as the full stand up shower, black and grey water tanks and so on, but after a little time to enguage some wisdom, two coaches seems like over kill.

Dan who loves his 78 PB

Chris...They do! But they dont work quite the way they did in your front yard (with beer)

The explaination is that I rented a cleaning machine and cleaned
the recliners as well as the carpets infront of Chris's house.
Chris and I then "reclined" with the chosen refreshment as the nebours paraded by. Good for a laugh or two.
