I'm looking to upgrade the refrigerator in my '75 Glenbrook to be 3-way.
I couldn't find in the owners manual.... does anyone know the size of the refrigerator... I'm guessing length width and depth? I'm hoping I don't have to uninstall it just to get the dimensions but maybe I just should.
I'll need to run a line to propane but figure that can't be that tough... any other ideas/ suggestions I should take into account?
Thanks, JT

JT,
Not knowing what model you have -- look here for lots of owner manuals and installation instructions.

These are the dimensions of the electric only fridge that came out of my 77 Palm Beach that was located just to the left as you entered the GMC
Measurements are as follows:
Height - 52 inches
Width - 24 inches
Depth - 23 inches
Hope this helps.

Here's what I did:
http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/g5863-norcold-refrigerator-installation.html
This Norcold fit with minimal modification to the compartment. It is a little narrower and a little taller, and it needs a baffle in the back of the compartment. If I was doing it over again, I would have extended it out into the room about 3/4" to 1". I might still do that. We love the fridge. it works so much better than the leaky old original electric one
