Well, I finally did it. I'm no longer a GMC-less lurker. I bought a lovely coach from a couple in Florence who were moving. Drove it back to Portland with no problems. It's a 1976, 26' Palm Beach. VIN TZE166V102273. Pictures at

I'm so excited! It's really very nice, everything works as far as I can tell, and I'm already collecting a list of things I want to upgrade. It has a rebuilt engine with a "power cam", throttle-body fuel injection, headers, 3.50 gears, Michelin tires and Alcoas, and Flex-steel couch and captain's chairs.
Tried to get it through Oregon DEQ this morning (it hasn't been registered since 5/08), but they wouldn't test it, because the idle wasn't stable, oscillating between about 200rpm and 1000rpm. Any thoughts on what I should do about that?
