1972 Chevrolet Custom Camper C30 MotorHome Cab & Chassis 6.2 DSL Custom 97 Dodge
Description
Note ( custom License Plates do not go with Vehicle) This is a Custom Built Vehicle . I bought this Motorhome in 1995 From a friend the original miles on truck at the time when i got it was around 52,000 origina, I just bought the cab and chassis with original MotorHome bod, less motor and trasn and interior. I drove this home and then pulled the motor and trans out and returned too my Frien, Since Being a MotorHome the Interior was like ne, my friend kept all tha, My plan was too restore this too origina, so i found a company who i thought was willing to build me a new up to date motor with new upgrades Like Fiberglass sideing and newer upgrades on interior .So I dismantled the old body and thru away the old wood Motorhome . and then pulled the cab and restored the complete Chassi, This chassis Has the 14k GVW chassi, Had new leafsprings made for the rear from Factory Spec, From Betts Spring . Rebuilt the Rearend with all new Bearings Seals Brake Shoes wheel cylinders and hardware and Brake Lines . Reinforced The rear frame Rails with C channel so i could put a Trailer Hitch receiver o, for towin, ( no hitch yet) Then Rebuilt complete front suspensio, Ball joints upper and lower Shafts shock, Tie rod ends and Idler . then Painted complete Frame with POR-15.
Body cab was then Sandblasted too bare meta, ( rust free cab due too the Camper Body Being over the Cab , Then I decided too Customize the Front end By Installing a 1997 Dodge Ram Fenders Hood Grill Bumpers Core Suppor, Made it easier for Installing the 1983 6.2 DSL Engine with The 700 R Overdrive Transmissio, Also If i ever decided too Install a 5.9 Cummins Diesel it would Except all the parts a lot bette, ( like the radiator and Inetrcooler and Batterys ) As it worked out had too extend the Hood so it Hides the Wipers . Also Installed Hydro-vac Brakes Everything is done so as not to destroy the original bod, If wanted the stock Front end will bolt Right back o, There was only two modifications made too the Cab too Clear the new Hood Hinge, ( so removed one bolt hole Location that bolts the original cowl on which is still on Vehicl, slightly modifie, but is a bolt on part.,Has still has All the Factory Original AC,which was restored too light new condition with new Heater core and . Also has new center vent and ac ball, ( Parts not shown or installed on Interior are the heater controls AC ducting Glove box Dash Bezel ) No Radio. Will include New Repo Door Handles and Door Lock Set. Two Factory Bucket Seats Need new Upholstery, Cab originally Came with Bucket, No Console Because it has pass Thru in back of Cab too Access MotorHome . Have Glove Bo, is painted .
So This Body and parts were all Painted with PPG Deltron Basecoat Clearcoat separately and then assembled . I had palnned too put one more Final Coat on Whole Body But never di, I Put it all together as is too drive it too the Company who Was Going Too Build my new Camper Bod, But when I contacted them Tghey Said they were not Interested in Doing it . So This is how its been since 1997 . I have never waxed thi, because i had planned on Painted one more Coat on it . It needs just finishing up some small details on insid, But it Drives and function, I did put it on the road in 1997 and maybe put about 30 miles on it . It has been covered or under a Canopy Tent most of its Life. , Has always been run or driven for all these years in my yard every two months . At least Started . The Driveshaft is all Brand new custom mad, new center bearing and u-joints . Also Installed The Factory Dual Fuel Tanks off of the 1983 Truck That donated the 6.2 DSL. . Put both saddle tanks on the Passenger side frame with easy acces, with dual Tank switch over Valve...Has the Propane tank mounted on the driver side frame rail were it was from the Factory. Has factory Cab light, when i Re did the Cab were they Cut open the Back for the Pass thr, it was kinda crude with wood .So i filled in the window panel with metal and framed in the Opening with Metal rectangular tube .Vehicles comes with the Factory original 7.50 -16" Split rims and tires (6) also comes with 4 used 16" chrome rims as seen on front.
