Back 10-12, maybe more, years ago I bought an X-Palm Beach with no front
clip in it. It had been setting on shoring for 5-6 years. The clip was in
an air conditioned garage. The owner, retired Senior Master Sergeant Sam
Young, former Chief of Maintenance in the Tennessee National Guard had had
the frame stripped, sand blasted, and powder coated. Everything that went
back on it was new or better, including Lenzi suspension components, engine
built locally Dick Paterson specs, etc., etc, etc. It was, literally,
ready to run when he and his wife had both had health and other problems,
so he gave up all hope of ever finishing it.
Bobby Moore talked me into looking at the coach when it went on the market
and I wound up buying it. GMC friends and I pulled the good front clip
from my 23' and took it to Hendersonville, TN, where we (including Roger
Black) installed it in the X-PB. We brought the "new" clip home on the
same flatbed trailer we took my clip up on. Along with, IIRC, 3 engines, 4
final drives, 3 transmissions, 10 cylinder heads, etc., etc., etc., some of
which I still have. The coach ran great and eventually wound up with my
son, who's still using it. The powder coated clip is still in my 23'
'though most of the stuff bolted to it has been changed a time or two since
then.
Enough history. Today, Sam called me, for the first time since I drove
away with his GMC, to report that he's found a big box containing most
issues of Motorhome Marketplace. He'd like to sell them to someone rather
than throw them away. If you're interested, call him at (615)eight
twenty-four ninety-eight zero 7.
