Because I'm using the stock air filter it was necessary to adapt the 8 1/2" filter housing down to a more manageable 5".

Here's where the engine intake air comes in through the drivers side grill.

About all that's needed now is the sound absorption material.

Trying to clean up some of the loose ends. Here's how I covered the rear trans access hole. The black material you see sticking out from the aluminum is a closed cell foam. Works as a seal and a little noise control.


New dash with donor trucks cluster. Lots of work here.

Tried to save the old glove box but 'no joy'. Near 50 years tends to cause a bit of distress on things. Anyway, here was the solution, not great but it'll work. The back is built so it can be removed if necessary as there are a number of relays behind it that are difficult to reach.

You can see here the CAC radiator hangs partially below the side vent. The additional opening should help.

Used some of a discarded lower rear vent and added to the side to give the CAC radiator a bit more air.


Here is what I came up with for the rear bumper support and trailer hitch. It came in at 56 lbs, a 54 lb savings and a much improved hitch.

Here's the old rear bumper support, a real man killer. Lift that a bit and it will make all your babies be born naked. I digress, it weighed in at 110lbs. Not good-especially at the far most rear of the coach.

Should have plenty of area for the hot air to escape with the additional louvers.

Everything lined up pretty well. The new swinging right door is pretty much undetectable.
