Chevrolet 4500 vs ford 450

I like my heavily modified Gillig chassis. Tough to beat an 855 N series PT Cummins engine. Zero electronics. I did switch to top-stop injectors sort of like the hydraulic valve lifter of Cummins Injectors. The unit does have a waaaaay heavy 50 MT Delco starter motor. A gear reduction Nippondenso weighs 1/4 as much. But the Fuller 10/5/13 trans and aux will take that bus places only a Unimog can match. Only have to run the overhead every 50K if that. Means valve and injector tweaks. Can't have everything. I'll be sending images of an all teak interior including marine head. The patio is 15x7 fully enclosed with floor but it is packed with silica gel and rodentcide. 237 lbs. 3 hours to erect the shelter. My how things morph when a person ages. Sad.
