Default Swapped....

I've been intrigued for some time with the line of GMC motorhomes from back in the 70's. We stumbled across this 1978 on Craigslist the other day. The owner agreed to swap straight across for our '82 Newell. We kind of took a financial beating on the "swap", but really like the lower profile, streamlined look of the GMC.

After we got it home we discovered a lot of water damage in the ceiling, but what the heck......we were going to gut it anyway and redo the interior....now we'll just redo the roof first.

Other than the 2 tires that blew out on the 30 mile drive home, and the roof leaks.......oh, and the big puddle of oil I found underneath the engine this morning, it's in pristine condition.
