Hello GMC netters

I had posted some time ago on rehab work that my father and I have been doing to my '75. Some have asked status but I've found I'm better at working on the bus than detailing every single little tidbit (I also don't do twitter or facebook) Razz

The exterior is complete with the sky deck and hydraulic rear cargo door working well. I completed the ceiling last month using aluminum sheets and button head allen machine screws in case I need to open the ceiling up. I've re-insulated walls / ceiling etc. The leaks I've found have been menacing (aka P.I.T.A) Now that they have solved I can finish the interior.

I'm rehabbing the bus to use as the support vehicle for my bike racing team. The rear portion will hold 8 bikes, gear, generator, 12v & 110v electrical box. h20 tank.... There will be a bulkhead wall with a framed yaught galley door separating the garage from the living and kitchen area which will have two couches, fridge, sink, TV.

Thanks to those vendors who have helped me with parts. Any and all wisdom appreciated from your group.

hope this video works

Where are you in Louisville?

I had seen a couple of messages from you about the team bus, etc. but missed
the fact that your in Louisville somewhere.

I'd like to see what you've done and do a story on the GMC for the Eastern
States newsletter/web site.

I assume you get to Tom Sawyer some. I used to live west of the park but now
I live in Middletown.
