Kevin,
could you get me the ignition switch and some outside side trim strips. If someone does not take the dash would like both gauge clusters and all the little id tags on the switches. Would also like the screen door if it does not go to someone. If you like you can call me collect Matthew 562-691-3620 restoring a 22 footer.
Thanks

OK, here is an up date folks. The hours of the wrecking yard don't jive all that well with my work hours. The yard is only open week days untill 4pm. I work untill 4pm. >.<

My boss understands so I have been able to sneek away an hour or two early each day. I only really have 5 week days left.

Now the history of this barth is that it was striped and used as a chip wagon untill the owner passed. So then it sat for a year... with food still in it... and the rats moved in ! Ick! I spent the first two days just cleaning it out so I could work in it without fear of breathing !

I got the fridge out, seems to work well with 120V but stoped working under 12vdc. The motor on the unit runs on 24vac ! Crazy !

With only a few days left I am going to pull what I can. Going to pull the full dash out. Pull the screen door. Has one good front windshield. Bumpers could be saved if some one was in a hard spot. I plan to pull every window from the Barth. Anybony want the ID tags? I plan to take the Rad, rear leaf springs, steering column.

This Barth is in Powell River BC. I myself drive back and forth between Powell River and Kamloops every 2 weeks. I dip down into the US once in a while... and Burning Man in NV every year.

Let me know what you need !

The screen door might be intergral to the whole door. Best bet to take the whole door/frame/screen.
