"new" TV
What do you think of our "new" TV?
Not hooked up, of course. Pics are just for effect.
Plans are to put it on a duramax/allision chassis.

Yes, it's a 1955 on a Chevy 3/4 frame. It's in good original condition. Almost hate to pull it off the frame.

Man, that will be one really aerodynamic rig. I can only dream of all the storage you can design into the rear of the 'bread truck'. I am totally envious of the space!!!

You're right Scott. We have a '99 Burb we were using to pull the 76 Overlander; and it was just fine. Then we got the 06 SO, and it's a bit much for the Burb. We really didn't want to go with a Silverado with the 2 dogs, etc.
So, I came up with this idea. I know, I'm crazy! Good thing my wife loves me!

You realize, you're going to have to polish it!

Was looking at KNOEDLER Power Chief seats the other day. Can be fitted with their own compressor.
