Nice! We put LEDs on our rig, too - they're a major improvement, both in visibility and in lack of draw. Plus, they last longer ![]() '73 Concord 20' Class A w/Dodge 440 - see profile for photo |

Plus all the components are sealed, so less maintenance and no chance for corrosion. And they just look better too, imo. I'm a trucker, and I've been a fan of LEDs for years. I actually picked these up for just over $6 each from ryderfleetparts.com. Best price I've ever seen, and not cheap quality either. These are TruckLite (SignalStat). |

Sweetnessmonster, I am curious if the new LEDs screwed into the same holes as the old lights, or did you have to make new screw holes? How did you seal them? Mine, unfortunately, are located higher up in the bend of the roof so sealing them is more complicated than on your flat surface. |

I might have to find a new team now, as I've always liked 'em 'cause the 1) play smashmouth football, and 2) are often seen as an underdog as they're not flashy... they just get it done. But now that they're the only franchise with SIX... well, that kinda elevates them and I don't know if I feel the same way. On repairing the tank. If you can get to the leaks, and they aren't hugh cracks (like mine were) drain the tanks and let them dry so the leaks aren't wet anymore. Cut some non stretching material into 1"x? strips and stock up on the Black ABS adhesive. Clean the leak area, and use the ABS cement to bond the cloth strips to the affected area. Use the cement liberally, make sure you soak the cloth strips when applying. It's messy, but done right, it will seal the tank up like new. That's all the shops do. |

Well, you all have been a wealth of knowledge and very helpfull in the rehab our my '78. I stumbled across what seems to be a decent deal yesterday and am picking it up tomorrow. It's a '27 foot 1987 Shasta class C on an E-350 chassis. I picked it up for $1900. It does need some minor work in the rear, but considing the maintance records and overall condition it seemed like a good by. So alas, the old dodge has to go. Thanks again for all your help.
