Hi from East Tennessee. Just north of Knoxville Tn. up in the hills. After 4 years of on and off building i finally started driving my project. Started with a 24 ft. motorhome trashed the coach to bare frame and cut about 4 ft. off the frame. 7300 miles on the chasis with a 440 Dodge 727 trans. Found a REO F23 cab from a dump truck and started building. Now has tilt steeringwheel, hydrobuster brakes, bucket seats and since i'm a woodworker, cherry center consoul and dash. I built a patio on the back complete with hand rails, swing and lawn chairs rusty of course. Haven't built the patio table yet, it will have a umberalla. 6" chrome duel stacks.With a big bull skull mounted on the grill and snot (shaveing cream) oozing from its nose and lights in the eye sockets it gets lots of lookers! Another skull for the back, a Texas longhorn with a 4 ft, horn spread, brake lights will be in it's eyes. Hope it quits stinking by spring !!!!!
Found a Dana Spicer 5831G aux trans which has 2 underdrives, and a 1-1 haven't installed it yet. Turnin it backwards That will give me 9 foward gears and 3 reverse. Should take me from about 8 mpg to maybe 15 i hope.
