[Neweller]

Keith you have pictured what I would have posted. I was thinking as I was typing how I wish I had gotten pictures of "Rusty", like close-ups of the compartment bay floors, rear radiator door opened like you did. You posted pictures of exactly what I was picturing in my mind while making the post referencing this subject. Too Cool!

Those D-Ring locks are much better and I can't believe that Newell even built that cheesy you know what. I have been wondering if a guy should have those existing locks re-chromed or replace them?

Something else I noticed on the '85 was the bay compartment height being taller. So, sometime in the early eighties I'm gathering that Newell raised the height prior to the wide body. Not sure what year. Most everyone figured it was when they went to the wide-body. I kind of liked the longer Newell without the tag but with the higher floor. Of course as long as the weight is kept in check. Rusty still had a solid frame structure without any sag in the body.
