Hello Everyone, i'm new to the forums and the gmc motorhome, i recently acquired one (couple months ago) it's a 1974 26's painted desert model.
I researched and fell in love with the design of these.

I wanted a project coach that i will have to rebuild from the ground up, this will probably take me years to do as it's simply in a rv storage place atm while i tear out the interior and look for a better place to work on it.

Oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car, understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car. Hp is how fast you hit the wall, and torque is how far you take the wall with you when you hit it.
