Saw the most unusual GMC conversion today, after leaving Leigh Harrison's place, in Woodbridge, VA.
A commercial custom builder had built a very large Class B (in general concept) RV on a Ford F350 Dual Cab cab and frame, with a 23' foot GMC body as the cargo compartment. It had a extended rear frame with 2 Onan Emerald generators. Had twin low profile A/C's on the top, and looked like a European design awning. It also had the extended front compartment over the Ford cab, typical to Class B RV's. Had one of GMC motorhome enhancements windows in the door, and the rear window was a split design, that looked like it could be opened, similar to the OEM side windows.
Vehicle was painted "Dark Navy Blue", and had U.S. Navy marking on the door (typical military style, lead number was "95"). Also had U.S. Government tags. Drivers were civilians, not in military uniform. Probably GS types. Did not ask what it was, other than to confirm that it was a "GMC" based design.
Photos on phone camera, as soon as I can figure out how to down load them, I'll post to photo site.

give you my cell # and then I could email them back to you.

One Photo on GMC Photo Site. http://www.gmcmhphotos.com/photos/showphoto.php?photo=35134&nocache=1

Thanks to Eddie Pettit, new GMC owner for the technical help. I have 2 more photos, but this one is probably the best. Others did not properly up-load.

Would have to argue that someone really wanted the GMC body to be used. However, the structural integrity of the GMC would be an asset to this type of construction. Fast also.

OK - now we've seen the picture. I sure would like to hear the entire story. And being Gov't I sure would like to know what the $$$ were.
