OK. Your wheels & tires are going to be your biggest problem.

[NobleTruths]

I assume you mean from a price standpoint (since I have to change all at once)?

It looks like your 16" wheels are one piece... in other words... not split rims. Should be pretty easy to find tires for those, just make sure they are rated for the proper load rating.

[NobleTruths]

Excellent. Thanks!

You've probably found out by now but just in case, the buttons next to the shifter are your cruise control. I too have a 67 270, so we should compare notes every now and then. Are you on the Dodge Travco Motorhome Lovers group in Facebook?

I never have had the need, urge or desire to join Facebook. But I would love to have any parts list and source, or any other relevant information you have put together. I may not need it now, but I am sure I will need those parts in the future. \n\nI will post pictures later, but currently I have all the walls and carpet ripped out of the living/dining area. The walls because of water damage from both large windows leaking. The carpet because of age. I have also torn out some of the subfloor due to that water leaking. I have ordered 100 feet of window gaskets from TrimLock, and will replace for all the windows except the windshield. I plan on updating the driver/ passenger area, too. I am considering wainscoting for the walls, and bamboo flooring. The ceiling area is all fine, and should fit this that decor.

As promised, I have attached pictures of where things stand with my remodeling. Mostly, however, I have been focusing on mechanical soundness. These are the completed tasks to date:\nOil and filter change\nAT fluid and filter change\nPS hoses and ram rebuild, and fluid change\nGas filter change, engine and generator\nAir filter change, generator\nNew oil bath for engine air filter\nBack-up and dash bulbs replaced\nWiper blades changed\nBattery\nOil gauge line replaced\nBack-up light micro-switch cleaned\nOne new muffler\nRe-wired the horn so that it works\n\nThese are the tasks in progress, or coming soon:\nRebuild brake boostervacs, and flush the brake fluid system\nExamine the four drum brakes for repair needs (I take it that all wheels must be pulled to inspect? ugh!!)\nReplace suspension shocks\nRe-wire the rat's nest someone might call a wiring system under the dash\nRebuild the carb. Seriously considering upgrading to a 4 barrel.\n\nAfter those tasks, I will start to tackle the interior remodeling more feverishly.

I did notice you have 8 lug wheels on a 67. Didn't the 67 have the 5 lug? I know my 67 has 5 lug wheels.

[NobleTruths]

I have no clue what is "standard."

[badbillybiker]

a standard?... In my book, what you are doing and logging is necessary rv preventive maintenance..\nShould be done seasonaly plus more to keep a smooth running ship..and. meeting your expectations...\nCarry on... it doesn't stop...I personally would convert to all smd?, led lights... (which i have done)\nJust cuts down on things that blow at the wrong time...(Just one less item to maintain)\nIMO/BBB
