roller blinds are available at most home improvement stores...they're not always of the quality we find on alaskans. Too bad I'm not coming up your way this year for fishing...I've got spares of both spots off the 58 you should be able to replace them at home depot or lowes

mas...the arrows indicate where water penetrated the caulking

a few reasons for the butyl tape arrows in the first photo are of cracks in the dried caulking...photos in the next few are the stain track along the window frame These are of a 1958 I'm salvaging right now

check the plate up by the 120v inlet...but the fact that it has an ash rim around the top of the bottom half puts it in the 70-72 range...73 they started installing beige plastic in it's place.....I'm replacing some of that plastic right now on my 1973 CO You're entirely correct about the...

The norcold 300's are a resistance type heater strip in the tube...much like the 120v side but no where near as efficient...the 12v side of this particular refer is for traveling and should be wired into a constantly charged battery. Once you get where you're going you switch to propane...or...

if that was the one in Pueblo...you got a nice interior!! hail damage is no more than a pebble finish...get in rain proof and have fun Welcome to the herd :D find yourself 4 reico titan or atwood tripod jacks and forget about loading anxiety.....

The 12v function on these norcolds is designed for a traveling mode....it should be hooked up to a battery which is under constant charging and isolated so when the truck is turned off...the battery function is disconnected.(key off)... that 12v function will draw down a standard starting...

I just removed a tank out of a 58 NCO I'm salvaging...fairly typical location and dimension...I'll fill it today and measure the volume...and post the dimensions

Brian has the inside track on those tanks....the have baffles in them as far as the emblems go....your Cab Over should have 3 emblems with a CO additional small emblem directly under the Alaskan emblem...if I can remember how to post pictures I just re-finished a set of three for my new CO...

the lights have to be grounded to work....so you have a charge running through the metal grounding bar in the plastic frame....if the galvanized screws are touching the metal in the grounding base section and the aluminum siding they will corrode...see the noble chart of metals. As far as...

Any 3/4 ton would do fine....not 1/2 ton... a single rear wheel 1 ton if you can find one in good shape, 4 wheel drive if you wish in either stay away from 6.0 and 6.4 liter Ford diesels, problematic engines...the Ford 6.7 diesels seem to be holding up... if you can find a Ford 7.3 liter...
