Re: [SilverStreak] i'm a new Owner of a 1966 Silver Streak Sabre

[<MSC06USNret@xxxxxxx>]

My '58 never had tanks (however i've since added both grey and  black).  The 
toilet is complete and available, contact me direct at _MSC06USNRET@aol.com_ 
(mailto:MSC06USNRET@aol.com)  for further  information and pictures.  It is 
fairly heavy but i may be able to get it  to the Seattle area via a friend.  
regards, jim

thanks  Jim. I'm interested -- does it include the 'black water' tank? if it 
does,  how much were you thinking for all?
