Oshkosh chassis is spring suspension, correct?

Nope, according to the 1988 ORED brochure, it is "air-ride" suspension, so are there 8 air bags like my 1991 U300?
Caflashbob...?

Reason for salvage is ELECTRICAL DAMAGE, May be a money pit.
And green algae on RR plus lousy looking speedo pic may indicate moisture problems.
