Vintage RV & Motorhome restorations - "The GMC Coop"

You are here: Home / The Daily Pose / (Updated below……awh heck, go ahead and read it again, there’s new stuff all over) You might wonder why we didn’t just wait for this…….

September 20, 2022

(Updated below……awh heck, go ahead and read it again, there’s new stuff all over) You might wonder why we didn’t just wait for this…….

………… We have a better one for this

We have an installed but never finished, the front clip of this Transmode obviously took a hit

Pulling the tested drive train directly out of Mutcedes with the chainfall right up into the hole before the nose came off..

See that, I told ya the motor is “out in the open” under that floor! Air is scavenged down under the coach from the air flow. The big deal though is to keep that air out of the cab……..a video posted this week about that. “Sealing the cab from heat” I think was the title………this shows what I was talk I g about.

This gives you and I a great chance to see some neat things…..adding some pics associated with our “chipmunk cheeks” video.

Stay tuned…….. I’ll be back later…..

It’s Tuesday….Tuesday…..video day……so I had to stop here to do one……back,

On the “chipmunk cheeks video”, here is where the body panel separates from the firewall……..

See that hole in the corner and the groove the body “puches” out and comes out of……here





Not only the hole silver dollar sized let’s air in but see the firewall slotted at the sides…….they come out when the body bulges……….thats hot air going inside the coach on the backside of the interior panels! The video we completed talks about air leaks in the firewall……..what leaks?

and they go straight thru

And yes, this coach will rise again!

Ok so the day is pretty much done, we have a video on how to keep the cab area cool. Should post soon, thanks for the comments already on the one on “vacuum”.

Hey and I’ve had some comments that’s it’s difficult to navigate the videos………hey, my ears are smokin too! Go to YouTube, search my name ( no, I don’t know why it’s that way) Jim Bounds. Then click on “playlist” which will put them in categories for you. You KNOW there’s some way to do it on Patreon and I’ll ask how it works but anyway, there may be a few of you here that haven’t as yet been shown the light……..i still have one foot in that bucket……… make an effort to get there. This Daily Pose now “Ranch Life” for the ranch hands…….hey what’s in a name……… videos killed this picture page or so im told so that means we shouldn’t be here! Whatever, I appreciate your support and writing some of this down is a real source of therapy and healing for me. So we get a 2fer in keeping something going here. Also….habit is hard to kill! This I guess gives me an outlet to go with all this new video world.





Also from your suggestions, a video on this steering shaft assembly, the steering box and column is on the list. Stay tuned.

and it seems our dock on nearby Lake Elezibeth has fallen in disrepair. I put it there the first couple of weeks into COVID which it’s been a dog walk destination, a place to watch fish, clouds and ponder the meaning of life…..which of course i found to be “man in the moon marigold” and possibly right here too. There will be other docks but this one was a buddy…..see ya man…..

And see you guys later too

    Is there any way you can make a video on the vacuum. But just more in-depth. Like for instance fitech fuel injection. What is needed what is not needed etc.

      I’m glad you got vacuum is important out of the video. I can “teach you to fish”, timing is directly tied to vacuum and trusting you distributer will adjust timing but also vacuum. Your FiTech display can really show that. I’ll talk a little more about this here on “Ranch Life”, stay tuned. I’d say the video was a success….. It got you thinking…..investigate….with your system
