lots of knowledgeable fellas - some one will be able to answer your questions

That drive line if in nice shape/documented history could bring some $$

Thanks for the info! There is a receipt for $17,000 for the driveline conversion and one for $7500 for the onboard generator. This was no backyard conversion, this thing is sweet. Mind you, the exterior is not pretty currently, but you can see it was in it's day.

It is in a field that is VERY wet with our recent snows (got both our trucks stuck getting to it) but once things dry out we will drag it out and hopefully drive it the few miles to my buddies house where the real fun begins.....

Luckily, the P/O was an engineer and everything is well documented with lots of diagrams and paperwork. Still, probably about 200 different knobs and switches here and there and 8 dead batteries so may be a while before everything is sorted out.
