Greetings from Southern California !!

I vaguely remember a post and/or a picture of a GMC Motorhome chassis modified and used as a mobile camera mount for movie filming...

Or it may have been an article somewhere.

I remember commentary about it still being in use, being in high demand, and being one of the most versatile platforms they had. Especially for vehicle / chase scenes.

Might any of all y'all have the same recollection ?? Know about the vehicle ?? Have a link to a picture or a story ??

Thanks,
Steve Weinstock

We supplied that unit with several modifications like the 3.70 final drive,
Quadrabag,6 disk brakes and many more.
Still get call for parts last second and need to Air Freight them.

Thanks Jim -

No body on it at all - correct ??

Just a drivers seat and controls - and then a big flat platform...

Been searching for a picture of it with no success.

I Used to keep all that type of pics, but it got to be too much and gave
them away.
