'84 Troopy, RHD. Stock 2H w/4spd split case and the full-floater rear end. No pwr steering, disc brakes or anything fancy. Picked it up from a guy in Kalifornia who had started a cosmetic once-over and then found a BJ he wanted instead. This one is a 20-footer, but pretty solid. Only a couple of rust spots but a lot of holes drilled for various unknown purposes that I need to fix/fill [who's good at minor body work?]. Can't tell you what's on the odometer but it doesn't matter, it died on the drive here and haven't gotten around to cracking it open. Only thing that doesn't work is the a/c, missing the condenser. She's got some quirks and needs, but overall solid for general running around. I'm not looking to build a rock-killing monster, just a dependable rig to get the kids out farther than the family truckster will take them.

I also have to give the wife credit for this one. I wanted a 40, but she saw a picture of a 45 and thought that would be a better option....who am I to argue?

That reference to "town" was Reno. I've seen the biege troopy once near REI and the white one twice down in the south part of Reno near the dog store [Scraps...if you know where that is], both times passing views. Never had the chance to talk with either owner.
