It's the newer 5.61 but still gives a good crawl ratio. 5.61 x 2.61 x 4.56 = 66.76Older GM NV4500? 6.34:1 first is a nice touch.
Looks like it might be a Silver Maple.I got the interior back together and got the reverse lights working. Had a setback on road testing because of some emergency tree work.
I believe it is a Silver Maple. It might be time to get someone in to bring her down.Looks like it might be a Silver Maple.
They do have a tendency to go squirrelly, fall apart, and get messy.

I'm sure we can come up with something for it.....
Looks pretty good so far to me...
Some trim when you get finished fitting it all in place - and it should be as nice as the picture of the inside.

.I’ve been working on the air flow for the window rattler. It pulls air in from the sides and pushes it out the back. The sides were totally blocked off. Now the inner wall is opened up and the outer wall has louvres for air access and keep rain out. The louvres will need a little paint to blend in. I got a sheet metal delivery today for the next step.

I've thought about it but with all the original openings that were in the AC box it's the one spot on the truck that doesn't seem to have had nesting visitors from the past..
Wonder if you need to put some sort of screening behind the louvresloversto keep out nesting bees? Maybe not. They might just get "blown away" when you go roaring down the highway... Just suggesting - asking?

Once again my salty tears fall upon your coat, but this time it's for you. You're no longer there to lick them from my face and comfort me with the nuzzle of your wet nose. For 14 years you were there with your smile, unconditional love and even jealousy. Such a funny girl that I was privileged to bond with. You rescued me more time that I can remember. Run fast and free! Till we meet again my sweet Sadie....
