I call her..... Beulah.
Started work on my new toy last week. Beulah is a 1972 Chevrolet motorhome. 157" wheelbase, dually, looks like an HO72 rearend. Looks like she has 88,000 original miles. Very clean truck, definately showing her age, but eveything that is important is solid. Looks/sounds like the orignal 350, I haven't checked but it's probably an SM465.
If anybody here has ever watched the movie Porky's, they should know where she got her name from.
Right now the plans are a quick safety, remove the motorhome chassis and replace it with a Uhaul truck box. I need to figure out rear bumper, rear lights, gas tank, trailer hitch, and how to mount the new box. Down the road I'm going to have to figure out how to notch out the Uhaul body for the walkthrough. There is a Lousville/Nissan front bumper that might be in the works, it would be cool if I could find a matching rear. Let me know what you think, and enjoy!!
