Nope - old school american iron - Enterprise RV-3 (17" bore, 21" stroke) they go to engine S/N 1 and 2 from 1962 - powering the MV Malaspina - one of the Alaska State Ferries...
I get to play with all sorts of fun old toys

Looks beautiful! How did you handle the fuel tank? I have this thing about clean fuel, especially for a multifuel engine.
How about the ground path for light fixtures, paint is a pretty good insulator?
Lived near Ballard in the sixties, close to Queen Anne Hill, right?
Keep up the good work!

For the fuel tanks I pulled the drains and flushed the crud out for now - settler and filters should do the rest...Looks beautiful! How did you handle the fuel tank? I have this thing about clean fuel, especially for a multifuel engine.

My normal approach to lighting and other grounding issues is to do a full paint job and then spot face where the ground path has to enter the frame - everything either gets a home run ground or uses bond straps from one component to the next...
Thanks - going to see about getting the 16.00's on the back today...

Those troop seats look brand new. Do you have some for sale or are they going on your truck?

Yeah, they are all brand new from Stephan Wood Products. Nice stuff. I had a set of old wood ones. They needed a lot of work. The carriage bolts and square nuts were frozen solid with rust. I scrapped them out, the steel going to a local metal scrap collector.
I had an 813/814 wooden headrack on classified for a few months with no hits. I salvaged the stave holders which I have had sandblasted and I am in the process of repainting. I scrapped out the rest. See pics of the old stuff.
Thought it looked familiar. eBay from Dave?
