xplorer272 project

[dvorocks]

Just bought an old xplorer 272 motorhome. These liitle campers are all fiberglass roughly 20 ft long. I absolutely love the layout/interior of this thing. 30 years old and no leaks!! ! Wish they stillmade them like this !! I originally bought it to put it on a 1990 e350 4x4 cab and chasis. The more I look at it the less I want to tear it apart. It has an old dodge 440 in it.. I was at a 4x4 event and talked to a chasis builder and he said he could put a cummins and 4x4 in it for less than 10k. Does this seem like a realistic budget? If I could do the project for that price I'm pretty sure I would do it ?

Nuts.

10 k seems low. If you did all the work, I could see it.

I think 5k would get you a doner truck... But unless it's all straight bolt in, 5k wouldn't go far for parts and labor for a lift and 4x4 conversion.

That said, I'd check his work out, and take him up on it if his work is any good.��

HAHA!!!

Maybe if you're talking about junk yard parts. Nothing would be new or rebuilt. Wouldn't be a modern Cummins either.
