Howdy all,
I recently bought a 1976 Dodge Explorer, 21', 360, B300. Seems I got lucky on the appliances, the guy said he didn't know if they worked so I assumed the worst. To my surprise I was able to get everything working, water heater, roof air and heat, furnace with wall thermostat, Fridge - gas and elec, water pump, range, all lights, etc. The toilet valve leaks while filling, at $35. (lot of money for a plastic valve) I may replace the whole unit. So far it looks like he was one of those rare people - an honest man. It sat for 2 years without use and smokes unburned gas. I haven't changed the plugs and wires yet, am hoping that and timing does the trick. Any other suggestions? No generator, (missing) so I'll be looking for an inverter for now. The interior is in amazing shape, all cabinets and counter tops are perfect. They took out the orange shag and put in blue Berber, UGH. All in all it is a well planed layout with plenty of room for a guy and his dog. Anyway, I'm sure you all know where I coming from, I'm excited, and pleased to find this site. Whiteknight, I see your in OK, are you far from Tulsa, I'm behind the mall at 41st and Yale?
