I have just posted some pics of that GMC at the Copart auction in Tucson. It would be a major, major project, if anyone wanted to tackle it. I am afraid it will be destined to become a parts coach, although it seems to be pretty sound. It has a 403 with a Holley carburetor on it. No generator, although it does have a Generac control panel next to the driver's seat. The air system consists of some sort of a compressor with a long hose on it, mounted in front of the propane tank. Schrader valves on the air bags. A home made interior that leaves a bit to be desired.
The strangest thing is the landau vinyl sides. The sided are covered from the belt line to the roof, and from the front cap to the rear, with vinyl over foam. It is all dried and cracked up by the Arizona sun. It also has some very different windows, leading me to believe it may have been some sort of airport limo at one time. The windows appear to have been reconfigured and the holes covered up by the vinyl sides.
Strange!
I apologize in advance for the small photos, I took them with my smart phone and don't know how to re-size them.
