Hi Dennis,

If you are still in need, let me know. I think that I have a set in the attic.

I will climb up and look if you still need them,

What a great idea, ask on the forum !

We have wanted a set of original cutting boards for some time as well. I saw a set in an run down GMC for sale in the Detroit, MI area several years ago.

If anyone else has an original set, we would like the opportunity to get them.

Thanks,

Well, I found them and they aren't too pretty. I assume that they are original, as not much was done to this coach before I bought it! 2 of the glue lines on the large board have spread a little. The 2 seams look like they were re-glued, not pulled close at one end.

The rubber bumpers are missing and the finish has been sanded off to get ride of most of the stains and knife marks.

They are oak and fairly heavy, I am guessing 10 pounds shipping weight, so postage from 61040 might be costly.

They are very simple so perhaps I will offer to make up some as a winter project giving the buyer their choice of wood.

Gil,
Until recently I had an original set -- loaned them to be used as a pattern and they got lost.

So, I would still be interested in an original set if you chose to sell them. If you prefer to keep them as a pattern for your projects, I understand.

Thanks,
Dennis

What do the original cutting boards look like?
And where are they supposed to fit?
I may have a set that came in my coach, but I had no clue that they were OE.

Matt,
Gil sent me pictures of the ones he has. The boards for the 73 were butcher block rectangles that fit the top of each sink. There was a smaller board laminated to the bottom that fit into the sink to hold them steady. The smaller of the two, when flipped over, had four holes for glass holders routed into the bottom. The boards Gil has are one piece with a lip routed around the edge to fit them into the top of each sink.
If you have the earlier type, I would be very interested.

Hi Ron,

The boards that Dennis needs are different from mine, I have a 75 Elaganza and I think that they are OE. I can send you a picture if you desire. This is looking like a nice winter project as these things should be very easy to make.
