Wow that is really nice and clean. I agree I wish I could find a fiberglass body, preferably an older chinook, but they getting rarer and rarer these days. And it seems the few who still have them would be more willing to give up their first born before their chinook. I would love to just find the chinook shell and put it on a 4x4 yoda, but dreams are just dreams. If I do buy it I will be driving to California, and it seems like I should not have too hard of a time tracking down a 4 or 5 speed if I ever need one. Thanks for the info everyone.

Thanks for the info on that drive shaft bearing, it sounds like that could be it. Here is how she looks from behind. She is a true camper, although at this point in her life she might seem like she is homemade. ">

I probably wont spend more than 500 for it. How hard will it be to track down a 5speed that will fit and swap it out?

Will this work?

]I am about to graduate college and I am looking for a reliable vehicle that I can live out of, and move around the country in for the next year or so. I am fairly mechanically inclined and I am not too worried about having to fix small things on this truck. What I am worried about however is the transmission, clutch....well the whole drivetrain I guess. I know Toyotas and Datsun RVs have some horrible issues with the rear ends. When I drove this RV the other week first gear was giving me issues. The transmission would bump and slide in first gear, but first gear only. Is this simply just a worn out clutch, or could I be looking at bigger issues with the tranny. Below is the advertisement. What do you guys think this thing is really worth? Is it worth my time?
