Ouch that sucks.

1BadSS · 11-12-2006, 04:28 PM

What happened?

**Canadian694x4** · 11-12-2006, 04:51 PM

Ouccchhh!

stllookn · 11-12-2006, 04:53 PM

Hmmmm...big block 4x4 flatbed! It is worth it!

alblogg · 11-12-2006, 05:23 PM

Man that will not be hard to fix you can get the material at a place that sells campers or a Mobile home supplies and fix that right up in no time.
That truck should be worth a lot of cash because of what I see it has Two transmissions in it one automatic and one four speed.

72armyswbtruck · 11-12-2006, 06:53 PM

Man, I hope that you buy that truck, it has a tone of parts on it, that is if you don't rebuild it.

qksilver · 11-12-2006, 09:05 PM

that sucks..........was that before or after you bought it

msgross · 11-12-2006, 09:38 PM

so are you keeping your burb now?

bad_turbo · 11-12-2006, 11:46 PM

Burb is still going to be 4 sale. I would still like to find an old motorhome. Thinking about relocating the family and it would probably come in handy. Might still buy this wrecked motorhome for the motor and a few other parts than sell off the rest. Hmmmm

1969k10stepside · 11-12-2006, 11:47 PM

That sucks that it was wrecked

I would still buy it for the bigblock though...

*Shane* · 11-12-2006, 11:58 PM

That'll buff out.

that could be a cool project. if anything grab it for the parts.

**Yukon Jack** · 11-13-2006, 10:58 AM

What a bummer - looks like the camper took the brunt of the damage.

**John Fabris** · 11-13-2006, 12:24 PM

Here is a 67 chinook up here in Oakland that is for sale. First 67 I have ever seen. (I alway see 68)..

70rs/ss · 11-13-2006, 06:10 PM

For $600 you are stealing the parts, whats a tilt worth $250-400. Buy it, if you want the motor home fix it. Unscrew the sheet metal and there is a wood frame beneath it, find a carpenter or handyman if you are not comfortable with it, beter yet pass along his info, I'll buy it! I am serious BTW if you decide to pass PM me his info and I'll take it.

roughedup72 · 11-13-2006, 06:26 PM

duck tape will fix it right up. That must of been a special order truck with two trannies. Oh I know, it was one of those concept vehicles.

msgross · 11-13-2006, 07:11 PM

i'll take the buckets if you sell it.

bad_turbo · 11-14-2006, 12:53 AM

Hey Michael I thought you already had some nice buckets out of a late model Tahoe?

msgross · 11-14-2006, 09:21 AM

always looking to stay near original....besides, I would make money if i sold the 2000 leather burb seats that I bought...for $20...

Bishops Trucks · 11-14-2006, 09:41 AM

Thats a nice platform for a rollback.

bad_turbo · 11-20-2006, 11:16 PM

Still thinking about acquiring this project to repair it. Just trying to figure out how to get it home ( 3 hour drive). Does anyone have basic specs on these motorhomes, like the weight and heighth? I might just ship it even though the owner says its safe to make the drive.

Jim_PA · 11-20-2006, 11:54 PM

I'm sure someone out there could fix it structurally for a price! -- I could easily picture that thing modernized and making all the others drool!
