This is how it arrived at our shop for updating.
Bottom unit had a Ma. title, the top unit had a Vt. title, and it had a R.I. ten day temp. registration permit, and it was driven from R.I. to Mi. via Canada, no problems until it hit U.S. Customs on the re-entry to the U.S.!

Trucks were seperated before the main unit was put into the shop for updating. The second unit was purchased mainly for spare parts if needed.

Ready for a bed.
Unit ready for the trip from Mi. to Pa. for the installation of the bed & wheel lift. No pictures were taken of the unit during rehab as it was all mundane work. the Lincoln on the trailer was used as a chase vehicle for the return trip home.
