Oh yes full seats with built-in belts from a wrecked Charter bus are being negotiated. As far as the insurance company is concerned any ROPS would have certified and the build company would have to be willing to assume liability. That seems to be a bit of a sticker. Instead a 6 hoop, mandrel...

Well we have been moving forward on my idea to offer historical mining tours from an M923. Just dropped the down payment in the mail to SS member Uamakua for his Colorado housed 1984 A1. Looks like a beautiful truck and I have the piece of mind that comes from it being privately owned and...
