Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

Slept in this morning…..for me thats new!

I usually get bed sores being horizontal past 5:30……… Hard to break that habit.  So to punish me for that I mowed 2 yards this morning before the beach sun fires up.yeah, a basic, push mower makes doing the neighbors yard (a nurse at a retirement home)  he’s got no time for yardwork….give me a chance to pay forward.  Things are much slower than the big O.  On the sofa in the Florida room. …….. this is the place I want to beactually I’m there right now……my Grandma’a Sony portable radio there has a nice sound…….

But meanwhile at the shop, the guys sent me a few pics on their progressthis Argosy travel trailer was delivered just before Covid and has been waiting to get in to work the shakedown road test.  It’s not unusual to have a clean up punch list including issues with interior renovations.  When it’s all new, things will pop up.  Stay tuned, I’d like to do a walk through on the all new interior fitted in this vintage trailer.

“Diver Down” no flash makes this interior look like a tunnel…..Hector Lives!Yeah, I’ve been binge watching Longmire……Nice floor……Ron’s coach and the Stripes EM-50 are having their exterior sealed up to be able to go up on the lift outside for fresh drive trains for both.  Here’s Ron’s Monster transmission with an Applied 3.70 differential and his Honda EV-6010 water cooled generator…………And this is our Freddy Cruger addition 455 sporting a sealed valley, raised tube intake.Stay tuned to see this 455 motor go back into service………

Check out this magazine one of our Motorhome Rehab Ranch ranch hands mailed incontains a complete historical timeline how GM had been working on FWD drive trains starting in 1958!and there it is….a cutaway of the groundbreaking transmission…. I’ve got some good reading ahead of me………

So the web site reached its slow posting so I need to go.  As always, thanks for your visit and support.  And for those that have a burr up their ass about the work we do…… Rub your nose in it, it suits ya………..bye for now
