Did I hear, somewhere, you were thinking of selling the cab and chassis, not the box of Casa Azul? Hows Libelula coming along..? Maybe a link to its progress..

OH, MAN!!! No, really its just more tiring than anything.you'll probably hate this Joaquin
Yeah on EXPO (of course)...Did I hear, somewhere, you were thinking of selling the cab and chassis, not the box of Casa Azul?
My first plan was to swap the box on to another truck
I had a couple of oppertunites to buy a later year cab & chassis with "close" to the exact powerplant & driveline that i wanted. Neather of the selling parties and I could come to an agreeable price. So plan B...
I purchased the exact motor & transmission that i wanted, and now am about 40 percent of the way threw re-motoring Casa. I'm actually SUPER-STOKED that i choose this route! This way i can "nit-pick" my way through every aspect of my driveline ( like a "little" pump love, and then a little transmission love to deal with the pump love). While i've got Casa's front end torn off...I've also gone "hog wild" on the front suspension. I'm happy to not have to move the "systems" (tanks, batteries, so on)between the trucks as well.
Hopefully if all goes as planned, We'll be taking Casa on her first shake down trips in May.
Libelula, She'g got to wait! The re-engineering & mfg. of the components to make her sound...I going be an expensive B*TCH! I'm looking at the re-model of Casa sort of like "training wheels".
