Still needs windshields and paint looks pretty tired. A good deal perhaps
but not a screamer.

Sounds like one of Manny Traveo's diesel conversions. I watched him do one.
Used a brand new AM General engine in the conversions. Bought them from a
supplier in Las Vegas. Had a bunch of special parts on the engine to clear
the hatch. He beefed up the transmissions to handle the additional torque,
and fitted them with 1 ton conversions as well. Dont know what final drive
ratio that he fitted them with. If you chase down the exact coach and call
him, he can fill you in on the exact details. Very sanitary swap.

The description that he has had this for quite
a few years sends a "beware" signal to me!

I only know of three Diesel powered GMC
motorhomes, one done by a Dutch chap, the
one in Rio Rancho, NM and I think one done
by Jim Bounds in the last year or two.

There may be others, but.....

Beware of what in particular, Mac? Ken and I met Lynn in Pueblo, CO at a WS
rally a couple of years ago when he was still trying to get the bugs worked
out. Manny was there with his 6.5 as well, as was pioneering Bill Hubler
with his 6.5 install.
Henry Wolfe in Phoenix has a Manny installed 6.5L in his GMC.
Classics member, Frank Emshoff, in Spring, Texas put a 6.2 GM diesel in his
many years ago.
There are more.
Like one in Ohio with a 1980 5cyl Mercedes diesel w/Audi Quatro 5 speed
transmission
Mark Hoganboom, the dutch guy in Madrid, NM, sold his to a fellow in Santa
Cruz, CA
A 6.2 conversion in Mahopac, NY
6.2 in Fallentimber, PA
6.2 in Norway

And Bill Massey would know— he literally has every known coach at his fingertips :)

If it exists, he’s probably interacted with the owners at some point — and can tell you its history.
