468BIGBLOCK · 12-07-2008, 09:09 PM

I found this one like 70 miles from home i guy called and said that he had a motor home with a 454 engine in it for sale when i got to his place it was a 1971 with perfect running 402 and 400 turbo the rig only has 53k actual miles on it also has a good tilt wheel and black steering wheel. it has the period correct avacodo green interior with gren shag carpet. roof leaks,floor is bad. i have a good 71 short bed that is just sceaming to get the engine and tranny out of it. does any body know what series chassis will be under this thing?

Man, that is cool. Been awhile since I have seen one of them.

Longhorn Man · 12-07-2008, 09:22 PM

would probably be a P/30 chassis if it is GM... whats the wheelbase?

thirdstreettito · 12-07-2008, 10:18 PM

Looks like a 157". I'd love to have that chassis if you dont want it.

72BlckButy · 12-07-2008, 10:42 PM

Can you said road trip to the next National Board Meet....

Great score!

Wootdog · 12-07-2008, 10:49 PM

Fix the roof. Pressure wash it. No more hotel rooms while on travel. I would scoop that up in a minute.
