Just picked up this baby real cheap today wondering what to do with it. High miles.needs a bit of work runs good . but just one question it is an 1981 probably the first years fuel injected chevy 350 and I think turbo 400 trans as it has overdrive. If the motor needs replacing I have an old 350...

All depends on whats available near where you live.And if you whant to spend your time searching for the next couple years instead of camping.I bit the bullet and bought an older palameno where I live....it has its faults like crappy canvas corners ..., have to tuck it in when lowering the top...

Funny eh my old man used to do that years ago in his old bedford panel truck.....just like composting,saving water,saving gas , recycling......all that stuff we used to laugh at that stuff back then now suddenly ots cool to be green when thats just what they did back then.

Just had a look at your picks and very nice ...some good ideas like the way the dinette table setup works.keeps the base out of the way on mine its in the middle of the floor.pain in the but....also like the little open space to the left of the door mine is boxed in yours is better to stor some...
