El-Baz...
My 2008 3500 Express "Van". LMM Duramax powered to pull my car trailer...
I've been doing a lot of work on the interior to get it livable at races. Just roughed in at this point...
Class V hitch...
Aux 12VDC and trailer brake circuit breakers...
Trailer harness adapter and wiring...

My '86 G30 (motorhome) had some spontaneous oil pressure issues and started blowing blue smoke like mad, a couple weeks back.
The problems turned out to be unrelated, but the motor will be getting a full rebuild.
(Smoke was from several valve stem seals that completely disintegrated during a high RPM run. Oil pressure issues were from a piece of oil pan baffle that the previous owner didn't remove after he crushed the old oil pan. The piece got stuck in the oil pump pickup, and prevented proper flow. How he managed to crush an oil pan that's protected by a beefy front crossmember... I have no idea.)
It should be back on its feet soon.
The 350 will be bored 0.040" over and get a cam for some better low end torque and cruise speed economy, aside from a standard rebuild.

My parent's 1988 chevy g20 350 tbi with towing package 300k miles on original engine
It was a cargo van, but it sat on the lot for a year and the dealer had it converted and sold at same price. $16k.
They bought it mainly for our 120 Labrador and for roadtrips to Pennsylvania (They made the trip once in a trans am with the dog, never again) and it's been great and a huge memory in my childhood. Right now it's stalling in low RPM (stopped or turns) for an unknown reason and the control arm's shaft is bent and causing the wheels to wear on the outside edges. That's just what it needs to be at a decent condition imo :P
Needs a lot of work though...
