Have you seen the pic of my rig (in my profile)?

That's the first thing I said when I saw it on eBay (the bf agreed and we bought it). My favorite question to date, though, is "which way is it going?" [emoticon]

'73 Concord 20' Class A w/Dodge 440 - see profile for photo

Leanne, I got nothing for ya on the enging pull bit. Sorry. I didn't have the time, tools, facility or knowledge to pull that off. I dropped it off at a garage and they did the work for me. I dropoped it off on a Monday, and had it back the next week...

What good are you, then???!!!

Not a problem - we have to do it, regardless. I was just wondering what kind of ballpark we were talking about [emoticon]

LOL Leeann! Showed my guy your rig and he immediately started talking about how funny it would be to use two front halves (half shells?) and create a real puzzler.

I happen to know someone who has two front endcaps just laying around unneeded. (Two rears also.) One (set) is from a 1970 Explorer Class A and the other (set) is from a 1973 Explorer Class A.

1970 Explorer Class A on a 1969 Dodge M300 chassis with 318 cu. in. (split year)
1972 Executive Class A on a Dodge M375 chassis with 413 cu. in.
1973 Explorer Class A on a Dodge RM350 (R4) chassis with 318 engine & tranny from 1970 Explorer Class A

I absolutely LOVE the flames [emoticon]

Welcome, triple3jrb - the only tips are the ones we've posted in the past....make sure everything replaceable is replaced. Make sure everything adjustable is within the factory spec for it (it's amazing how previous owners can screw stuff up 'fixing' it).

And job #1: make sure you have good ground wires going to good grounding spots. Grounds are notoriously bad on our beasts.
