Looks exactly like mine did. Same radio MUTT. Does it still have the 100amps setup? If yes, would like to see a picture. And be prepared to have a overheating engine and a rusted transmission...

I have a new powerpack should i need it. So far it runs well. The 100 amp generator is missing. I used to have 2 of them and gave them away. They are noisy and take up alot of room in the engine compartment. Did yours have 2 radios and one antenna mt on the drivers side?

No, all the radio stuff was removed including the big alternator. Just the gauge and the switches on the dash. I managed to find the data plate on the right hand side of the dashboard.

Nice find...looks like a keeper.

If you want one back, it will cost you a diet Coke and a road-trip of 85 miles to your South......just sayin'

What are the markings on the passenger side front bumper? Mine had the same markings but were mostly illegible.
