    Well, I bought the truck in 2022 with the motor in it.
    It had a 1981 NTC350 in it, and this is an early 1994 mechanical N-14, so no electronics to worry about.
    They used an early 379 cooling pack, so it had the tubes over the top style charge air cooler and small a/c condenser on it.
    I am in the process of converting it to a 95-07 style around the side charge air cooler and corresponding larger a/c condenser.

    They don’t have bus glass, only clear.
    They do have the new one piece windshield seal for the 359’s though.

    Never try to get rid of a bald face hornet nest by trying to sneak up on it with a plastic trash bag and try to wrap it around the nest quickly.

    And yes, there was lots of beer involved before coming up with this great plan.

    The score was me, 0. The hornets, scored many times.

    On the subject of bus glass, my 359 had a slider on the rear of the sleeper when I got it. After trying multiple times to get it to quit leaking, I had Cody cut me a piece of bus glass for it. Problem solved.
