That's crazy. I'm not doubting you, but that's crazy. The funny thing is, I was just out in Oregon near Portland and there are tent cities and homeless people everywhere. Those tent cities, and all the garbage and filth associated with them, are not nice to look at. So you are telling me...

It's been confirmed. The axle on the RV is a Dana 70HD. It's casted into the front of the diff housing.

Thanks for the info. I looked on the Barth website. WOW! They really have a lot of good info on just about everything.

Yeah, I hear you. You're not the first to tell me that. But like I said, I'm a bit unconventional, or weird, you make the call. I'm going to enjoy the challenge. And, yes, it's ugly................but that's part of it's "charm", in my eyes. I like the cousin Eddie look, or even the...

The GVRW for the RV is 14,500. And yes, it's on 19.5's. I'll get a calipers on the axle tubes tomorrow to see what the OD is. Thanks for the info. I'm having a hard time getting info off the internet, other than it's a D70. I can't find any stamps on the axle tubes other than the MFG date...

I did a little research on the P400. Is it out of production?

I have a 4 ton (1 ton fully extended) super long engine hoist. It will come out through the drivers door. I am also ready to build a custom built gantry that will span from the passenger side and out the drivers door and use a chain fall to hoist it out. I'm in WI in the sticks, emissions...

Yup, I took a peek at the rear end. The tag says 4.56. I've narrowed it down to a D70 but I'm not sure if it's an HD. Either way, it will still need to be regeared. What engine RPM @ 60 MPH should I be shooting for? I also tried getting a picture of the engine nameplate but couldn't. It's...

I've been told that a lot about converting the bus. I have my heart set on converting the RV for the following reasons: 1) lighter and shorter, 2) better fuel economy and 3) the cool factor. The bus will always be a bus and it's been done a million times. You don't see a Cummins swapped...

Here's the bus.

Hello gang, I just joined the group tonight. Looking forward to chatting with all of you. I just acquired a 1985 Honey RV based on the Chevy P30 chassis for FREE. It has a 454 in it right now. It is very tired, has a dead cylinder (low compression) and runs like crap obviously. A sane...
