I have put a new battery in the car, but it seems to be draining. I checked the alternator, and it is good. When I give the battery a full charge, it only lasts for about an hour or more. Also, there are 2 batteries in a Hearse, but i don't know what the second one is for.

Dear greywolf28 -

It is possible that your vehicle is very similar to mine.
I believe these 1990 vehicle's are becoming obsolete.
I would like to discuss our vehicle's sometime.
I can be reached at email "ferrycha@hotmail.com"

thank you

Hello rasmataz or greywolf28 or other -

I have LOST during a move, portions of one of my Jump Seats. I know Coachbuilder probably made a limited number.
Therefore I am looking for resources and similar vehicles to mine.
Definition :
Otherwise two "jump seats" are mounted, facing rearward behind the driver. These seats fold up when not in use. In this way, up to five persons can be carried in the aft compartment in comfort, and up to two additional persons carried in the driver's compartment, for a total capacity of seven passengers in addition to the driver.
