thanks for posting the pics for me, guess I'm going to have to learn someday got a lot of work to do on it yet, the inside is a older conversion mostly painted wood that I am dolling up a little and replacing as I go. will be using laminated wood flooring for the floor and brick under the WB stove, everything was there and what wasn't working is now. I am doing a complete rewire of the electrical only has 6 plugs now inside and nothing outside. already have all the materials to go to 50 amp service with enough plugs inside and 6 plugs outside, new dist. box and breakers to replace the weak 30 amp that was in it. It worked well enough for a vacation traveler that they used it for, but not good for full time occupation. All the drivetrain is in good working order and goes down the highway a little over 70 mph. It has a 8 V 71 detroit and the VS-1 automatic tranny (would prefer a standard) has power steering and cruises very good on the short trips I have made in it, will also have backup camera and side cameras that I purchased from harbour freight just black and white but will work fine. The paint that is on it was (profesionally done) about 5 years ago, I think spray cans would look better than this, and outlast it. I paid $5500 for her and feel like I did alright all things considered james graydawgs driver

all the dates on the pics are wrong these were taken jan 2010, date on camera had not been reset and had to be done everytime you changed the batteries. this is the truck that needs injectors, and the jeep needs allot of work too but does run. Jake and Amberlynn now has a litter of pups that are 2 weeks old today

I was thinking of putting this on the back of bus "I once was a mighty greyhound that won all the races, then I was retired and rehired to do my duty, and now I'm just a gray dawg house "
