I dont know why I didnt take one of the 10 or so large trailers my family has floating around. My brother says Drive it home you ll know more about it so being a fearfactor junkie I drove it home in the dark and drove it throughdenton on I-35 at 10:00 pm. With busted manifold , overheating over 50 sometimes working voltage regulater,half of a wore out fan belt. . No first gear cause of the dumb replacement floor shift fot the three on the tree. On the bright side it was only $500.00 and I drove it all weekend according to the odometer 180 miles and it doesnt smoke or use oil It is pretty straight and has most of the trim. and the little wassher pump is still on the floor and squirts water on the windshield no its not 4wd but it drives good in traffic and it s ugly so a lot of people give me lots of room. I got very close with some insect life that had grew up and raised its eight legged offsping in there as well and they only came out while being passed by Peterbilts in construction areas. It did still have the origional owners Manual and warrenty card and the paper work maintenance and stuff was kept up till 91 when it move frov Uvalde, Tx. To Hooklahoma. Now it is back in Texas and seems to run better. Unfortunately the trash on the floor wasnot under the rubber mat as well but was mostly air as there was not much to keep you from doing a fred flinstone if you wanted to. My middle brother came over and cleaned out the cab cause he is mister clean and showed me the large holes after he had ripped out the shattered remanents of the rubber mat over antisail truck mudflaps ( dont worry the mudflaps are still in use as I found out that pieces of dead animals can be thrown through the holes while driving down the highway. I told him that he shouldnt of helped me so much as a guy would like to think he had made a hecka of a deal for 24 hours before finding out thatthe cab was contaminated with rust and the welders would be humming at Western Fabrications into the wee hours. I like this rolling refrigerator truck even if it is the only two wheel drive thing I own. It is very sporty the neighbors are scared again and my girlfriend can finally drive the red vehicle she dreams ofand I will not have to paint the wc12 red any where. Just so there are no worrys I am not journeying to the other side Norm. I got my Generater for the WC 12 back and it will be installed tonight I hope.
