Sound System

[Howard O. Truitt]

Terry,
Just curious what color is the 74. I saw one [no idea of year] in Albany, Ga.
several years ago that a fellow had. The best I remember he followed the Rodeo
circuit. It had only a bedroom and bathroom in rear the rest was a showroom. He
had a very expensive line of custom boots [$500.00 up] and belts and other
leather items he sold. He had some health problems and was pretty old then. It
was a solid dark green not attractive at all.

What can I say? One is never enough, right? I bought the 74FC as a
project because the previous owner pulled the Ford gas engine &
installed a Detroit 6V53T with the 4 speed Allison gearbox. It also has
a 15 kw Kubota genset & 3 roof ACs. Nothing inside but a rear bedroom
with drawers & closets, shower, bath sink, toilet & a Dometic refer. No
other seating or galley cabinets in it. Was built as a mobile showroom
for a clothing manufacturer. I planned to design a galley for it & put
seating up front. Not sure what I will do with it now. That Detroit
does move it pretty good down the highway though.

Then I came across the PT40 here in MT & decided to get it too. Then
started the work to refurbish/restore it. Am in the middle of that
project now. Next step will be to repaint it. All the prep work for
painting is about completed. Just seem to always have a project or 2
going on so thought the PT40 would be a good one. The wife has decided
that she really likes it so we plan to use it for a few years.
