"Unique RV" is right.
It seems to be one of those things that I'd have to see it in person before I could make a call on what I think...
BUT...
The rear wheels look to close together to have an airbag between them so I doubt it is on a GMC chassis. (But could be wrong.)

I am with Mike on that. Looking at the rear wheels I am guessing it is a Revcon chassis. No bags, has springs. Interesting. Looks like Chevy pickup grilles and headlights. No telling what it might be. I am sure the builder loved it though.

I was thinking Revcon Chassis too. It's kinda cool. The right paint scheme would go a long way to making it more attractive.

It says it has an olds FWD 455, so the front end is probably derivative. The rear axles are probably trailer beam axles.

"rears so close together"
I would guess larger tires, just barely clearing - to care the weight.

$1500? A lot of work for little pay-off. Nicely done. Very nice interior. Don't like the paint. Looks like a 23' style door placement. Front end is well integrated into the entire concept. No quite my cup of tea, but what a vision and determination to complete the project.

I don't know how he got the rears so close together, but if you look very carefully (maybe Ctrl++), it looks very much like there are two aluminum cones in there with an airspring between them.

Sharp eye!
You are right, it does LOOK like a GMC OEM style airbag and cones DEEP in the wheel well. It doesn't look even close to "in-line" with the wheels. (Yes, I know that the GMC airbags are not really in-line with the wheels... but you know what i mean!)
I stand by my statement, "It seems to be one of those things that I'd have to see it in person before I could make a call on what I think..."
