Hi, Bob Raef and Robert Mueller,
I don't believe I have any of those parts for the propane conversion. I purchased that GMC , I also had a '77 Rear Bath Birchaven, back in '96 and removed the Propane conversion at that point. It had been installed by the first owner, they were popular after the first and second fuel crisis. As I understand it the first owner used the GMC to travel between Minnesota and Utah for business and he had access to propane for his business. The worst part was that the Tank was mounted on the extension horizontally and was not baffled correctely, on every sharp curve the Propane could be felt moving side to side. SCARY! I ended up cutting the Tank up like a sausage because I could not get rid of it.
I guess that kind of answers your question as well Robert.
The extension did make a great bike rack and since it still accepted the bumper shocks and rear bumper it even looked good (without that tank).
Mark
