Sound System
Terry,
The one in Ga. had some boot shelves built along the wall. Howard ----- Original Message ----- From: Terry Neal To: WanderlodgeForum@yahoogroups.com Sent: Friday, August 25, 2006 4:38 PM Subject: Re: [WanderlodgeForum] Sound System This may well be the same one Howard. It's 2 shades of green (medium & a lighter shade) with a white separation stripe plus white roof.. Not too bad but wouldn't have been my first choice for colors. The coach has 60k on it & the engine & gearbox about 20k according to the invoices for same. I bet it's the same as I talked to the factory & they confirmed that it was built to the owners specs. I have the blueprints & it's still the same as the day it was built inside. Terry Neal Bozeman, MT 82PT40 74FC34 Howard O. Truitt wrote: > Terry, > Just curious what color is the 74.
