opinions?

thanks Paul
thanks Paul

Full on superstructure rebuild and outboard conversion has begun
demo complete wit a lot more rot than expected. reframe is almost complete with Douglas fur, next step will be rewire, spray foam and re sheet the exterior with 1/8' aluminum instead of wood. parting out the Volvo DP legs and motors.

Hi I was looking at both a 37 alcan and allwest. when you look at the alcan the floor level where you drive is lower than that of the allwest, not did they sink the allwest lower level deeper in the bow or raise the cab and floor in the allwest. Im pretty sure its a raised cab but I'm going buy pict...
