Hey Fam, just thought I would say hello, I might be coming here often for the great tips and tricks. I bought this bus already gutted, with solar panels, CB radio and
already registered as an RV in San Diego. The woman before me used it for music festivals and camping trips.
I'm a Mechanic, but not much of a carpenter so looking forward to learning and getting into and building up Sally. It has a 350 gas engine and a th475(3l80HD) transmission. Not having overdrive is really bad, so with the interior build, a new transmission or overdrive addition is at the top of the list.
Is there anyone here that has experience with these particular models? do you think a 4l80e transmission will be enough? the GVWR is 13,500lbs and I want to pull a small jeep behind it. Not sure on gear ratio yet, but it doesnt go above 55 mph comfortably. 70MPH seems top speed that I didn't hit
Anyway, here she is, you'll see me around.....
