Anyone looking for a project coach, With Great regrets, I am going to sell mine. I have done the following to it:
New:
bearings
front end ball joints
flexible brake lines
master cylinder
fuel lines on top of tanks
brake rotors
brake pads and shoes
shocks
tires (in 2005) less than 100 miles
Lots more I cannot remember
Started the interior
porcelin sea land commode
fixed the black tank
four Beige Leather Honda seat included but not yet installed.
The Dash is apart, but I can get that back together.
lots of other stuff.
My knee injury is preventing me from really working on it and I am going to look at buying one that is complete and usable now. This may either be another GMC or a Travel Trailer. four years of having an RV you cannot use for camping is enough. This coach is ideal for someone with a lot of time on their hands. I am jealous of you retired guys...
I have nearly $9K into it but will take $3,500 firm. With all the $1000 and less coaches out there you may ask, how do I expect to get $3,500? this coach is a dry climate rig that doesn't look like it ever saw snow and ice. The frame is in great shape, all the brake bleed screws popped open easily, and there is none of the rust I have seen on lots of other coaches frames and door hinges. In other words, it has good bones. Photos of the coach as I have progressed are here, as well as what the new upper cabinets/headliner look like. Both sides will be done before the sale. All the interior parts are still available to go with it except the upper cabinets which were promised to someone else. The Original Propane tank which I took out will also be included plus two more rooftop AC units if you want them. The roof pod is also included (but not on the coach right now.)
The engine runs well, but the carb could use a rebuild, and the transmission works but needs a rebuild also. It slips a bit. Thic coach passes Arizona IM-240 Smog emissions testing. This is a highway speed on the dyno test.

If I don't sell it in a reasonable amount of time, I may part it out, but it is too good for that, so I hope someone comes forward with an interest in it.

Gee looks like you have made great progress and may be able to see the destination! Don't give up now, you could be camping by the fall season. Anyway where are we going to go for a new cockpit seat supplier? Thanks and good luck whatever you decide to do.

Ok, I don't give up. I'm back to work on it. Something about this thing won't let me give up. I installed some lighting under my eves in front of my (full of $#!+) garage and have ample lighting in the driveway to keep building in the evenings.
The passenger side headliner and cabinet are up now, complete with electrical...
