The seats look like a version of the enterprise with two captain seats. Joking aside. You have done am amazing job.

Good luck and safe travels

Good luck with the move, drive safely. Looking forward to the next installment.

On those wheel well liners if you spray under coat on the back side or some manufacturers put sound deadening on the back sides it really reduces road noise.

Good luck on the drive. I enjoy the little guy when he pops in to help. This will be an awesome gift for his childhood and will build a lot of memories with his dad and the adventures in camping. Thanks for sharing your journey. Been watching from the beginning. Safe travels, see ya soon.

This is one of your best. Good comedy one liners. Safe trip dude.

Good luck in the new home, look forward to seeing you then,.. Take care and stay safe.. xx

Great work, I hope you added a transmission temp gauge! one of the most common issues is overheating of the gearbox.

Safe journey to both of you

Good luck!

You'll enjoy the drive, just make sure the hot water valve is truly closed and you can crack the rear windows open a inch or so to create a bit of a draw since you removed the roof vents if i remember correctly. Opening the side windows does a bit as well but it creates so much noise that we ended up closing them when we drove ours home for the first time a few years back [2000 miles and no A/C or wind wings]

Safe travels. The motorhome is coming along nicely. I will soon be working on mine, which is a 75 Eleganza. Excited to start, not excited to spend a ton of money, lol. Well except making it a better and safer vehicle, the money is worth it.

Window rubbers. Been there. Absolutely agree that it is torture on the thumbs, and right-handed / left-handed comes into play as you work around the window. Found that if I used a thin putty knife with rounded edges, you can slide it under the rubber and press the lip past the inside of the aluminum frame. Not the glass, the lip of aluminum. You can tell if you are fully seated as the rubber will be sucked flat. You can also go back and fix the proud locations once the rubber is in. The rubber does not seal against water, just intended to hold the glass in. The Butyl seals the window. There are weep holes in the larger windows. I drilled a small weep hole for the small kitchen window. I only did the smaller rubbers as they were retracting from the corners. The larger had receded, but were holding the glass in place. Maybe someday after the memories of sore thumbs wear off. I posted a video on my installation of rubbers if you are interested. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/as2nadFn3rbMk3U.html

Tom's innovations are interesting.

Safe travels, enjoy your new surroundings, I'll look forward to the next episode from there. It may suit you to look up the KZfaqr that has the channels Under Dunn and Aging wheels, he's outside of St. Louis, he loves odd vehicles, and I would bet he would love to pick your brain on the 3d printing side of things.

What you noted as defects in the glass may be manufacturing dimples that are caused during the tempering process.

I'd get a rug or a pile of blankets to cover the hatch/passenger footwell and stuff a towel or two into those "plinths" - it's going to get pretty noisy otherwise! Safe travels, off on a camping trip in my '77 PB tomorrow.

Seats are cool, when you win lotto, have them re-covered in lime green leather! Palm Beach baby! And you are right, we miss the kid apprentice!

Words that sound odd when said on your videos... Butyl & Collide, Plinth.. could make a drinking game.

We escaped Seattle's Eastside a little while ago for the Carolinas- one of my best decisions. Funny thing? I have a Travco 320. Don't know them? Great quality motorhome from the same era. Fan of the Revcon/GMC, Clark Cortez, American Clipper, Lazy Daze, Airstream/Argosy...the good quality vintage units

The "butyl rubber" looks like 3M Strip Caulk. I've heard it called "Dum Dum".

Please have some footage of the actual trip! Let us know the total miles and mpgs you end up seeing along with some internal and external air Temps. Thanks for the content!!!

BTW, wouldn't mind an episode or two from on the road!!

I highly recommend a little usb/battery fan pointed at you for your trip. I use one while working and it makes me go from overheating to cold. I was trying to find the exact model I have, but it appears amazon has stopped selling it. Good luck on your trip.

Good luck on your trip. What are the seats out of? When will you talk about the tires?

Good luck Matthew! Can’t wait to see what you do in the Midwest! It sucks the cost of Oregon and Washingtons policies have forced people like you to the Midwest.

not a defect in the glass that is from the heat treating process to make the glass "safety glass" those dents are from the fingers that hang the glass as it travels thru the oven

The noise you are hearing underneath the right side or passenger side dashboard. The blower motor for the AC heater system. Y'all be careful

Where are the rest of the videos (after episode 28)? Did you paint it with that “Perfection” type of bed liner paint? Do you have any final photos?

a cargo net will keep stuff from hitting driver!!!

We just replaced the lighting in our gmc... all running off solar! U using LED? We had to use 12v.

Weird question, but what is the branding on those jeans? I like the reinforced knee pads.

The plywood is your crumple zone.,

Use some dish soap it will help

Good Luck Matthew! We have two GMC Motorhomes - 76 23ft Birchaven barn find and a 78 26ft Palm Beach. The first time my son and I ever drove a GMC was pulling out with the Palm Beach into LA morning traffic to bring it back to North Alabama - so you are WAY ahead of the game. The 2000 mile adventure was AMAZING. The barn find made it less than 30 miles before the capitulation to having it towed - fortunately only 50 miles. It will be much easier than you think and you did a lot more to prepare for this than we did. They drive really well, but you will notice some movement when large trucks pass you (at least we did). We will be renovating the Birchaven and preserving the stock Palm Beach on my son's after we finish our current project (kzfaq.info). You and your son have some amazing times ahead. I wish we were able to start this earlier! I can't remember if you swapped out to fuel injection yet, but if not make sure you bring a line wrench for the front of the quadrajet and those fuel filters. The only issue we had was needed to swap one of those along the way. Fortunately we had to do that (and rebuild swap carb) to get the barn find working, so it was easy to do. Make sure they go in the correct direction as well. Either way, you'll find this thing is second nature driving after your trip.

Did I miss the part where you said what those replacement seats were from?

I love the new seats, that is the cleanest install mod I’ve seen for our coaches. What kind of vehicle did those seats come from?

I don't think you mentioned it, but are those honda odyssey second row seats? What years have the built in shoulder belts?

silicone lubricant?

Your motor home should have the 403 oldsmobile engine,right?

Are those Toyota Sienna seats you are using there for the upgrade?

What you are reviving is nice, but your camera work is hard to watch if you move your camera SLOWLY when you go from object to object to give the eyes time to see. Would like to see the end product of a old classic!

Drive at night, it's much cooler

Shouldn't this be episode 28?

seats just look out of place.. sorry. I know they are better seats, but look awful in that classic RV.

Good luck!
