    Very Good !

    I like both this truck and what you're doing with it .

    It's been a few years (like 40) since I saw snow inside the cab on a cold Winter morning :D .

    I also havn't seem on of those thing GM B/O/P/ Forklift batteries for a while , they used to be quite common in my yoot .

    Keep up the hard work and pictures coming .

    That engine is a dipper 235 , correct ? .

    You should be able to find an 410 that will slide right in without any modes.
    For me the 410 was not really what I wanted so I had one built with 342/1 that I really like.
