>Dale, I looked in my "Colorado Road" Book by Hol Wagner. On the
top of Page 310 is a 3/4 down shot of 878. It definately has two
forward facing trumpets over the forwardmost radiator fan. Page 309
has a picture of 875, same. Below it is a picture of wrecked 877,
same but left trumpet appears bigger. Page 312 shows 886 and 887
with trumpets forward and the larger seemingly to the left. Hope
this helps.
