Explorer (Van Conversions) did it a while back. They stripped something like 25 of them down to the frame and rebuilt them. Warranty costs killed that, plus the cost rivaled other new units available at the time. If you find one of these "GMC II's" don't waste any time looking at it. they go very fast. One really nice one sold recently in the $24K range if I recall.
Look at www.bethunesales.com for coaches, or attend a rally. There is also a Craigslist site-mash posted here on the forum.
I bought a Wreck for $5K when they were going for $10-12K or more, and I did it for several reasons. It was an Arizona coach so no rust, it ran, and I intended on totally rebuilding the automotive components and replacing all the house components anyway.
It has been a long 5 years, and still not done, but as someone said, it is a hobby. It's worth it. Even with the crappy paint job my coach has, People always come up to it at the gas station when I am filling it up.
