There is an article in February Family RVing about the Price's high buck rework of a GMC.
The title is "From junker to Museum Piece". I would not agree.

The author of the article was very kind. For those of us that saw this up close and personal, we can tell how kind this was. They point out some of the problems that they had, and those of us that know GMCs will recognize that some of these were very curable and some were created in the modifications.

If you recall seeing this coach and the ensuing discussions of total cost, you will be interested in the fact that they did identify that the total expenditure was north of anything most of us would have guessed.

Yes, it is in a museum, but as a long time aficionado of museums I would argue that its place is not in a historical display setting. It may have a place somewhere, but I still think the pick-up truck nose does not add anything to final result. Admittedly, that is just my opinion, but that is also just one of many things. As to what can be done to one of these coaches, I think some of us own better examples of mods and upgrades.

Matt - sitting in the warm and watching numbers creep closer to Zero - On their Way Up!!
