You're right, I didn't realize that all 5103's were 40 footers. I'll know more tomorrow morning. I had a 72 5307 that I was planning on converting, but ended up selling because of a move to a new ho ... |

A transit model by model number, but mine has no mid door(?). I've tried to find other pics on the internet, but when I type the model number, they ALL have a mid-door. Plus mine has the lowered sec ... |
