First thought, you are all OK and able to chat about it. That alone is
priceless.

Second thought , it is a runner and everything else is sheet metal and
plastic with a bit of fiberglass thrown in. Any good A&P should be able to
fix that without too much trouble.

Assuming the suspension, frame, and running gear are unscathed, and all the
systems work I'd park it in an outbuilding and have at it. I know where
there was a front cap that may still be available.

Just my opinion.

Subject: Re: [GMCnet] Dreams Crushed in Muskegon, MI

Going home from Montgomery we spun a main bearing. I knew my rig was not
going to make it another 700 miles.We were fortunate to get to an abandon
gas station on Hi way 287 and across the street was a convenience store that
had a deli with table and chairs. A couple of older gents were having
coffee and discussing the usual small talk when I approach them asking if
they had any space I could rent from them to store a motor home until I
could get back there. One fellow said sure I just live two tenths of a mile
behind the store. I thanked him and told him I would get back to him. I
went back to my coach and enlisted the help of a couple of club members to
find someone that would allow me to store my coach until I could get back
with an engine. Low and behold an ex GMC'er owner 40 miles down the road
welcomed me to store my coach at his place. I took him up on the offer and
went back to the store to tell the other guy that I was able to make other
arrangements with my coach. Thanked him again and said my goodbyes after
offering to pay for his coffee.
Point is the Black List is worth it's weight in gold, but there are
strangers out there that would also help out someone in need. You just got
to talk to right ones.
