Mine will be getting a 6.0/4L80E and a 3:73 14 Bolt. I have a 350/400 in it now, probably original only has about 79000 on the Odometer and looks to be correct. Even if you buy these from the west coast I would inspect the heck out of it for water damage. Mine spent all its life in the Zona and the side wall with the door was rotted to the core. I am doing a complete revamp and it will get a whole new box and redesign of the living area. Once you tear one of these apart you will see how simple they are built to the point of being scary. Staples everywhere and very thin material.

Enough glue, plywood, staples and nails, it's plenty strong. It's called aggregate strength, in the building industry. Though I will have to agree that it isn't all that strong in a crash.

When it is new, but after 40 years of neglect and water damage you could probably push through the wall on mine with the rot. The vents on the roof did a lot of damage to mine as they were not sealed at all. Some wood supports on mine crumbled in my hand. The siding on these are stapled to the sides. You can pull them off easy. If it is original I would hesitate to drive in an area with high winds. Could blow it apart. Mine will get Filon siding and more support in the walls for strength. My floors were still pretty solid for being original. Smitty |

Hey guys, bunch of great info, thanks. Ya it doesn’t have a tach in it now, but at what the speedo said was 50, the engine was a screaming, Lol. I really like the 4 speed, but maybe a T400 would be the way to go? I just sold an extra one I had, damn. There is a couple small wet spots, but I can’t find any rot. Thanks.

Hey Guys,
Ya Jocko, I didn't even think of the gps app. on my phone on the way home, but car were passing me like crazy, Lol. Maybe I will have to go the gear vendors route, I have been looking at them. But first things first, get it cleaned and remodel the in side, someone had a great idea to spray the entire inside white, ugh. they painted over the stained class on the cuboard doors. |

Keep an eye out for some cool 60's vintage/period correct stuff and put it in there.....that really brings attention.
I found and added a bunch of stuff into our little trailer...stuff like extra 12V lights, magazine rack, chrome table trims, etc. My wife helped out with redoing the upholstery on the cushions, etc. ..they are a lot of fun and way more interesting than the modern rigs...which, like the cars...are pretty much identical. all good Coley:chevy: |

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
Wouldn't I love to have one of these Motorhomes, but I think someone else could get much more use out of it. I see most of these that are in good shape are from the Southwest.
One day I might get a vintage trailer and paint it to match the paint color/scheme of my truck, like I'm doing with my Gooseneck Flatbed/Cattle hauler to match my Dually. |

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
Very cool rig - mo pics please :) Would love to see the interior of the camper.

Re: Pictures of 1967-72 motorhomes
Awesome awesome awesome! Did I mention your camper is awesome?? Welcome to the site. That is the best of the best and looks to be in great shape. '67 GMC Super Custom, what motor, 327? That rounded top is a savior. Tinted window even matches interior. When do you see blue tint these days? So about the era it ain't funny. Enjoy that thing, you lucky son of a................. :cool:

Thanks Guys! Here are a few I had of the interior, little water damage up front but not too bad. The blue tinted Plexiglas I thought was neat too! It has the 305 v6 in it, trying to decide if I should keep it since they are kind of neat or go to a big block or LS...
