HI, I'm a new member here and also a new GMC owner. I have a 1974 GMC 26 footer. It is pretty much all original as you can date it to the 70s...lol.. A little background..the motorhome sat for about 5 years, mice invaded, engine and generator would not start and no brakes. I found the engine wasn't getting fire or fuel so replaced coil, condenser and cleaned and filed points. I then hooked up a fuel line directly to the fuel pump from a portable gas tank, and after replacing the starter and all 3 batteries, it fired right up. As it isn't getting any fuel from the main fuel tank to either the engine or generator I surmise there is a broken line somewhere (with my luck probably on top of the tank. The brake pedal goes all the way to the floor and the front half of the master cylinder was empty...so even with filling no brakes..will have to bleed the lines. The transmission worked great after adding 3 quarts of transmission fluid. The oil level in the engine was fine. Tires are fine except for the front right which is showing some cracking. They all held air. The air bags held air and the pump works but there is an air leak near the air tank in a component with 2 wires going to it...the air line then trails off from there. I found no leaks around the airbags or any other connections. I started the unit today to move it and the alternator belt removed itself from the system...was going to replace the belts anyway...lol.. So other than this just a lot of cleaning and replacing dirty,worn,outdated carpeting and some paneling from window leaks.
I do have a couple of questions. Was there originally something mounted on the front engine hatch doors to keep them open when either replacing batteries or checking air compressor. I have a couple of holes there but nothing. I would also like to replace the sofa that had been put in in place of the recliners with either recliners or a bunk setup. Where could I find the bunk assembly with all the hardware? I do have all the original manuals (Owner, Maintenance..etc).
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
