I located a 1983 p-30 motor home chassis. These frames are supposed to be good donors for my 52 COE build.
I am a visual learner so I need pics showing the process of a similar undertaking or completion.
Anyone out there who as done this? Please send pics to my email or message me.
My donor frame is rust free, has a good steering box, disc brakes all around. I am going to move the rear end forward but have to get everything measured out with the cab mounted prior to moving the rear end.
Any help would be appreciated.

See if the front axle will fit your COE front fenders, if so, you are in luck. If not, see Grigg's story about shortening the axle or fitting modern spindles to existing axle. The rest should be straightforward. Full disc brakes and Saginaw steering are great for today's highways. Use the power brake [censored]'y w/ the COE.

If you have specific questions, ask for a px.


'37 GMC T-18 w/ DD 4-53T, RTO-610, 6231 aux., '95 GMC running gear, full disc brakes, power steering, 22.5 wheels and tires.
'47 GMC 1 ton w/ 302, NP-540, 4wd, full width Blazer front axle.
'54 GMC 630 w/ 503 gasser, 5 speed, ex fire truck, shortened WB 4', install 8' bed.
'55 GMC 370 w/270, 420 4 speed, grain, dump bed truck from ND. Works OK.
