I was hoping to get the _entire_ thread in one print, this only does one page at a time (for me) and it gets all the 'wrapper' stuff at the top as well.

Oh well, thanks though!

Oh, that's interesting. On mine, that's actually a really bad aftermarket cutout for a radio done by the previous owner. There arent any fuses up there. There IS a marquee though with a 12v...

The door plate says it's a Supreme body, I think I saw some references inside to StarTrans, though that may have been specific equipment.

It sounds like taking the fiberglass inside skin out and...

I was thinking that I should be able to pull the lines from the under-seat radiator and just "short" those together under the bus to unblock the floor work I need to do. At some later...
