Richard,
You just described my coach. The entire driveline has approx 1,000
miles on it. If you are truly interested, I will list the upgrades in
a separate post as it will take a lot of time and space. For
starters, please check out my albums:

The only reason I'm selling this coach is to buy another before it
slips away (23').

Steve,

Since Richard hasn't been here long enough to really know you, you should
give him the link to your 455 rebuild album. That should allay ANY
reservations he might have.

Richard: You can't go wrong with Steve!

Richard,

The real thing (Steve's coach) is as good as or better than the pictures. Steve is a craftsman and perfectionist. His coach has to be in the top 1% of all the GMC's on the road.

Well, Teri and I have been inside that coach, and I have been under it. The coach was not this good when it was new. I hate to tell so many folks how neat and clean Steve is, but he is. He won't even allow grease to get under his fingernails. Cleanest mechaninc I have ever met. One look at any of his classic vehicles tells all. Wish I was in the market for a coach, which I ain't. Steve's is the one I would buy.

What's this? Manny brings you an engine and forgets to bring a tranny along with it.

Steve,

On the first link I get: "Sorry, Personal Albums are not enabled."

I suspect you where logged in when you "cut" the link from the browser window.

The other links worked just fine.

I have long admired your coach. I really like the clean look with no to very few stripes. While I have seen "nicely striped" coaches, I do not think our GMC's really need it. You inside layout is very close to my wish list.

Thank you Mike.
I'm quite conservative with paint jobs, almost to the point of
boring. The coach was the 25th restoration I've had painted and one
thing I've learned is that if it is too boring, you can always add.
Tough to get something off that didn't work out like you wanted.

Hmmm,
I was logged in but I don't see why that no longer works. I can't
see anywhere on the site where there is any info on "enabling" the
albums. Glad the other URLs worked though.

I'm with Mike. And I intend to copy your paint job completely, right
down to the colors. Clean is good, and I like the white upper half--it
both modernizes the coach and helps keep it cooler. I was thinking
about metallic blue on the lower half as an homage to it being a
Glacier, but the interior has tended more warm and I think the
champagne color will be a better fit.

People will look at mine from a distance and think, "Did Steve
Ferguson buy a 23' coach?" Then, they'll walk a little closer, see
Rick's detailing, and think, "No, I guess not."
