Next one is now...
Soon to have a newer cab and rollback bed on it
It is a 77 model gmc chassis with a 454/400/dana70 rear disk brakes with 21,000 orignal miles on it,will make a great tow truck....I may go 67-72 cab on this,What do you think?

edmonton72 · 06-21-2005, 08:44 PM

Is that the motorhome chassis. If it is your crazy.

silvertonguedevil · 06-21-2005, 08:49 PM

That looks like a lot of frickin' work to me!! You're more ambitious than I am!!

86SILVERADO · 06-21-2005, 09:40 PM

Did you put a pipe bomb in there?

pickemup · 06-21-2005, 10:04 PM

somebody left the gas stove on and lit it. boom

donkey69 · 06-21-2005, 10:22 PM

That looks like lots of work!.......good beer drinking project demo-ing the motorhome!

matthufham · 06-21-2005, 10:02 PM

were you kidding about the 67-72 cab part? that would be limo-like but go ahead if you want.

rwgregory · 06-22-2005, 03:52 AM

A guy in the San Diego area did that a few years back with a '70 or'71 short bed,
fleetside. It was one of the coolest looking trucks I have ever seen. He narrowed the
dual rear end, tubbed the cargo box, and had all six of those big motorhome wheels
tucked under the fenders. He said about the only problem he had was with that much
stopping power on that light of a truck, he really had to feather-foot the brake pedal.
If yours turns out anything like his did, it will be well worth the effort.

I will keep progress pics of this coming,it will be a while but i am going to do it...The walls just fell off the camper,full of big black ants about 1 inch long,thousands of them and it was fun to destroy it...

I cant go spend 15,000 bucks on a rollback,i traded a p.o.s. car for this that i had 400 bucks in the car..96 sunfire p.o.s. and then have parts here to get all together. Its title as an incomplete vechile,all i need to do is get it inspected by the highway patrol here,they issue a new title for it,simple...thats why i am doing it... And its not that much work when you have a wrecker to rip the body off...Hehehhe

seanu · 06-22-2005, 09:14 AM

Should be a pretty cool project

.....keep us posted! And watch out for those ants...

ps...don't forget to keep an eye out for a burb body for my 89!..oh and now I'm looking for a 71 or 72 rolling chassis, that I can pull all the power brakes off of!

tomatocity · 06-22-2005, 01:01 PM

I like your attitude and energy. Your imagination can be the designer for this project. What is the length of the wheelbase?

The wheelbase is 178 inches. Any year cab will bolt up with a little fab.I figure that when finished,i will have around $6,000 or so in it,not to bad...And it keeps me busy here at home...
