'71 C30 Open Road Motorhome...RIP - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Yeah...we should have made it into an awesome flatbed but too many projects and too little time. Besides we both needed so many parts off this thing that we could not resist. The sheet metal on this is in excellent condition...no rust! Parting...I got all the big block stuff...WHOOO HOOOO!

I like my motorhomes a little (or a lot) on the trashy side...LOL!

Looks like that would have been alot of work to fix that camper part....

Luke...it was trashed! I don't know how that big skylight got in there but it had been sitting open like that for months! It would have been best to tow it under a low bridge at about 60 mph and hope that it took most of it off...LOL. I'm glad americanrider (Ben) is not married and was willing to have it in his driveway for as long as it will take to part it out. It would have made a nice flatbed but the walkway cut into the back and top of the cab would have been a real nighmare to fix. Too bad since the cab is so nice and has those cool molded clearance lights that are nice for a flatbed truck. You can't save them all though.

It looks uglier in pictures than is is in real life..... now if I could just find my eyeglasses

stllookn (Mike) scared a possum out from under it and I beat it to death with a stick

I hate those rat-looking things anyway.
