Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

The GMC has withstood the test of time………

…….. You and I will come and go but the motorhome is staying!

No better way to prove this than just look at our main page.  This coach, one of the rotating 5 exam0les of a nice coach…….once owned and loved by Roberta and Cal….infamous at past Western States rallies ….this awesome coach has found its next “steward”pics Kendra made on their journey home to Washington State from Arizona…..as described a perfect trip with Mon and daughter.  A great addition to their lifestyle.

See, this is what it’s all about…..make one of these special machine your own and there no telling how much fun you will have!  If you see these folks on the road go over and meet them ….and their coach.

Im proud of the distinctiveness of each project we do.  These coaches are a great starting platform to do whatever you feel.  If you have one you probably know.

I’ve had questions about the adaptation to our motors to fit the CVF Racing Serpantine belt system.  As you can see above the pulleys all are situated on that 1/2″ bcc cut aluminum plate.  The plate has specific mounting spacers aligning the plate to the motor.  The only belt alignment is with what water pump you install.  Snout length can be slightly different for this application but 1 shim for that and it’s set up.  No backwards running water pump….sorry but that’s nuts.  If you’re not to the Yukon radiator modification yet, this Serpantine belt system is compatible with our original fan/clutch/ radiator system.

So yeah, it’s cool looking but the reality is its a belt system like a new car…..yes please!

 

Thanks for dropping in….btw, our hit count on this page is down from the height before Motorhome Rehab Ranch…. and that’s fine.  But those of you still dropping by here will see and hear things others may miss.

Like on the 42 minute window rubbers video…..when you have the fixed window out is the time to clean the tack of the slider window to get it moving nicely BEFORE you reinstall the fixed window.  It’s the small things you need to know…… That’s a Ranch Hand tip which those involved will benefit.

Oh and soon there’s going to be good reason to BE a Ranch Hand……stay tuned.
