Things are coming together at last...
I've been waiting on word about a 'conversion van', a 1987 Dodge which has had some extras fitted for camping. Ice box, TV, sink, water tank and pump, the rear lounge converts to a double bed.
Finally yesterday Jon in Spokane purchased it on my behalf and it's at his place. He's also acquired an overdrive A833 and all parts needed to bolt it up behind the 360 except the bellhousing, so there's a little work for me to do when I get there. I have a bellhousing I'll be taking with me.
This is the vehicle for my trip so I can stay wherever I like and save on motel bills.
Two weeks and two days until I fly out.
