I had a 1968 camper special with a 4 speed that had granny Low. Then 1,2,3 on the knob. I don't remember if it was a C20 or C30. It started life with a 240 straight 6. I installed a 327 in it It was pretty rust free. Sold it around 1980..

I would never trust a box store or similar rebuilt off the shelf

I've heard similar stories about SIPs. They have a lot of issues, most of which are lack of attention to detail...

Closed cell insulation might be the key to that system working now. Back in the day they used blue board and pink board - both of which will absorb moisture like a sponge. The R-Control white 2 lb density foam.board was probably prohibitively expensive. You could get the R-Control board...

There was a brand name associated with the system. I don't recall it at the moment. It got a real bad name back then. Dryvit Systems, Inc...

They had a lot of problems with that years ago. In astray Foam Magazine, I saw 2 houses that had a spray foam exterior. One I think in Oregon and the other I think in Arizona. The house in Arizona had an Adobe look. The house in Oregon was owned by a Foam contractor and he used to mess...

Insects will sometimes eat the foam.

What happens with the cracks? Something to keep the foam from deteriorating or bugs from eating it? Years ago I got a high density foam with bug killer mixed in.

Turns out he was just bragging that he had one

There's a guy in Alaska on this Facebook thread, that claims to have a new in box DS4 IP with black pmd mounted. He didn't say if it was for sale or anything. He just stated that he has one. The thread is a guy looking for an IP for his 1993 https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16XFnZBuDy/

Today I learned of step down heat shrink butt connectors. I can't believebI never heard of them before...
