If you could provide me the Serial Number I would appreciate it.  If you would prefer to not publish it, send me a Private Message.

I think originally it had the 391 Ford, but not positive. I'll see if I can figure it out. The transmission was changed to an Allison four speed by the previous owner when he put in the diesel engine in 1996. I don't know what it had prior to that. I'll get you the serial number too!

Welcome Ryan. We have spent the first 3 years of ownership going thru most systems and updating ours. Som planned and some not:
Rebuilt engine
Rebuilt water bay
Refloored
Tore out rotten floor
Converted to all LED lighting
Painted walls
Satellite
New TV's and radios
New or recovered furniture
Added a main awning
Updated shower and bath fixtures
New curtains and valances
And hopefully this week a new transmission so I can bring it home after marooning it in Montana for a month now.

I did all of these things with the help of all of the gentlemen on this site. So you not only unknowingly bought a classic but you also get a great deal of knowledge from these talented people.
