Personally I have read the book and have found it good and not-so-good
(never bad ... though it'd be great if it had more color photography ...
although I like technical photos in B/W - the contrast seems to help me see
the details).
Anyway ... about the book. It gives a decent overview of what you are
getting into (which is why I bought it - I'm searching for my first truck to
rebuild and wanted to have some good ideas of where I'm heading) - covers
what you will need to for tools/shop items, what you can do on your own,
what you need to contract out - how to tell what you need to do, and some
interesting things you can try to do with your truck - which is where the
chapter you would be interested in would be.
I found my copy at a local bookstore - its nice to flip through first. But
its available on other sites if needed.
Best of luck,

Subject: [oletrucks] Conversion from three window to five window
Hello everyone,
I have just started receiving messages from "oletrucks."
I am thinking of purchasing a 3 window 3100, but my heart has always
been
set on a 5 window with side mounted spare. I have been looking for a
special kind of dainly driver that looks stock and has all of the
creature
comforts and this truck comes the closest after months of searching.
Without too much in the way of judging my idiocy, does someone know the
steps to change a 3 to a 5? Is there a kit? Does the whole corner have
to
be removed and replaced? Is it an almost impossible task? What might
it
cost in terms of time or dollars?
Thanks in advance to anyone that responds.
Michael Lubitz
