Subject: [GMCnet] A Friends GMC For Sale
I have tried to post photos to the photo site. I have a friend selling his
race/show car converted GMC. If the pictures done post I'll try again or
PM me and I can email.
His description:
Dear Neil,
Attached in several emails will be pictures of the GMC Car Hauler - the
short description is as follows:
I purchased the motorhome off of Ebay in Florida and had it driven out to my
shop in Camarillo.
We removed the rear fiberglas cap, stripped out the interior and floor (I
still have most all of the furnishings plastic wrapped on pallets). We then
moved the rear wheels out a couple of inches and installed all new bushings,
bearings and airbags. We then replaced all of the brake lines and airlines
while the floor was out. We then replaced the floor with heavy duty - I
believe 1" - marine plywood to make a new reinforced floor.
Two rows of etrack have been installed on the floor for tiedowns. We then
made 2 x 2 steel hoops - one inside the rear fiberglas cap and the other
inside the aluminum body. These were then mated together with a full length
piano hinge - next we installed 2 electric jack screws which will lift the
entire rear cap including the bumper and rear tire past 90 degrees. We
installed speakers and loading lights inside the rear cap.
I then had the outside repainted in the original colors.
When the air suspension is down, the rear portion is approx. 10 inches off
the ground. With the two hinged
fold down aluminum ramps you have a flat loading angle.
Things that it needs:
2 automotive batteries
Finish the interior
Overhaul or replace the dash suspension air valve - it functions but I did
not find it to be totally reliable and when I stopped working on the
project, I had not found an NOS one.
I believe everything else is functioning correctly - every time I used it,
it seemed to draw more attention at the car shows then the cars I would
bring in it.
I am open to offers - I know I will never get what I put into it which was
the purchase price,
cost of parts, my hired labor - not counting my work is about over $30,000.
I have no
idea what a fair market value is
