Oh, I remember seeing the Torrance one - it looked a little rough from the outside but we considered looking at it once our closer leads dried up.
The '73 in Burbank is pretty rough (keep in mind this is the very first one I've stepped in so I may not be a good judge). It's not something you'll get in and drive away on a camping trip in, although the owner swears he would drive it to Texas on a bet.
The plumbing does work and the upholstery on the interior is in perfect condition. Overall, it has a million little things that need to be fixed. It needs tires. Needs a fan in the bathroom. Windshield has a large crack on the right side. It has a wet side bath and window over the kitchen sink. Some pieces of wood appear to have been nailed up along the interior seams to hold up miniblinds. Plastic pieces around some of the windows were cracked.
My mechanic boyfriend said it's pretty rusty underneath, not east coast rust or rust belt rust, but still more rust than he'd expect from something that lived on the west coast all its life and while the airbags are not leaking, they are cracked. It has 92K on the engine. He says it runs "okay" and the engine looks like it was taken care of. He says there's some random wiring stuff that needs attention. There is no in-dash AC. The vent fans worked great.  The dash is not in great shape and the front seats are worn out.
Again, I'm not experienced in GMCs but I didn't see anything in the interior that couldn't be fixed with some money or elbow grease thrown at it.
I took pictures of the interior and exterior and uploaded them here:
