Plus with an auto trans you will not have an e-brake unless you use a TH475 from a motorhome.

Put in a big-block with a commercial tranny so that that big C-60 can do the job it's set up for. You can pull the whole drive train out of the motorhome getting superior brakes as a bonus. Also, a CDL won't be necessary to drive it with the single-speed diff.
Any specific motorhomes to key an eye out for?

Can we keep the dually with a single speed diff?
