Topic: How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?

Trish,

My dad owned a 68 Valiant... 225 w/Holley 1920 one hole carb. Flat ground in Tucson with 4 in it I could get to 105 after about 2 minutes. So I don't quite see how one could push anything that looked like a class C very fast. Do you have any links to a picture of a CC?

Yes, I was joking about the /6, but most people have forgotten that up to nearly 1970, most medium duty trucks were 6 cylinder powered! Hell, even the 72 passenger school busses I rode in were 6's with a 4 speed, and 2 speed rear-end! Not fast, but awfully reliable! The non-diesel UPS trucks are still 6 bangers...

She ain't purdy, but at least she's slow!

So.....
I got this really neat mail a minute ago. What to get a Mopar freak who is getting married?

Just google "Clark Cortez," you'll find some stuff.

And, yeah, a 6 with a 2-spd rr end is plenty quick and definitely reliable in a medium duty truck.
We're just spoiled. And we forget how nice that long stroke on an inline 6 is.

Yes Trish, what does one get a Mopar freak who's getting married? And, who's getting married? [emoticon]

Gee, I can't imagine who might be a Mopar freak we know who might be getting married..... [emoticon]

I checked out the CC motorhomes, I can see why Trish likes them. They are hell-a-cool. I haven't run a slant 6 since I got rid of my old Duster with the 3 speed. Good car but you couldn't keep an exhaust manifold in it, they kept cracking. If someone would just win a gazillion dollar lottery and finance us we could start up "Old Mopar Motorhomes Inc" and spend our days restoring all the old funky motorhomes.

I don't think anyones dying statement ever contained the words "I wish I had spent more time in the office", so lets go somewhere!

Ahhh the Old Slant SIX. What a beauty that was.. [emoticon]

I had a '66 Valiant and a Duster with one. Best thing about it is YOU COULD WORK ON THE DARN THING!

Pull the head in 20 min., Oil Pan in the same. Rebuild the sucker in 2 days....(Only waiting on the head) Oh the Good Ole Days!!!

Drove many of the Power Wagons the Military used them in too. Great Machines.

Thanks all, for the great Memories...... [emoticon]

Note from Moderator...

Folks this is a long running thread with the topic of "How many of us are there? Owners of Dodge based RV's?" Please restrict your posts to dialog relative to Dodge Based RV's.

My preference is to leave the thread open as long as the discussion is Class C RV related and specific to Dodge Based Class C's.

Oops! Sorry Johnny T M! Trish started it! [emoticon]

An idea (yet to be verified) is to roll off in the old 1973 Tioga Dodge B300 C class into the sunset to an exotic location not near anyone! I hope it'll be road worthy by then! [emoticon]

Tires are expensive, red wheels and all!

How's that New York? Are we back on track? [emoticon]

Real honey-moon adventure 2-5 weeks in Australia next winter, already have a line on shipping the old tank (the Tioga, not me!) there... [emoticon]
