It made me more nervous than it did him! His response was that it's a work truck 😬

[@Poxumo]

Looking forward to watching the restoration of the beaut.

[@johnnyrichardson7318]

[@timneale8869]

[@RichardBerry-v5i]

It will be fun

[@sammyross5158]

Forget any carpentry skills you have cause RVs aren't built by carpenters. I just turned an old camper into a manshed/cook house and had to fix alot of rot. Mine consisted of 2x4s ripped in half, adhesive and 9 billion staples. I know you can do it, just think outside the box and what a cool project!

[@patrickvanden8322]

Love your channel, greets from the Netherlands

[@jasonjones5213]

I like it, should be a fun build.

[@lazydazegarage]

You have a blank canvas to create a work of art to be proud of. Those old wet bathrooms are cool. Had one in an old truck camper back when my kids were young.

[@Biggs58]

I enjoy the video and now the story of the squirrel to boot.

[@tambra413]

[@samebert4440]

Looking forward to watching you bring Billy Ray back to life!!!

[@bryansutherland5764]

Good luck looks like a fun job you can do it

[@jefferyhamilton8099]

I would see if I could use some of the wheels and tires off that bounder for the interim, save all the windows because if you can’t use them, maybe you can sell them to somebody and also the cabinetry for your new build

[@joehawkins9944]

Looking forward to seeing this!😊

[@kylemoseley2239]

I love them old RVs flying Sparks garage has one just like it it would be awesome to see you redo it love your Channel keep up the good work

[@friendly_B]

Awesome project.

[@bertone6996]

The Bounder need just oil change. This one little wax will look new.....😊

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! 👀😎☕️☕️🍩 ! Morning 8/27/23 ! Very good move . Sometimes doing the right thing is hard ( the Motor Home ) your family comes first ! Cost from what you have found maybe put to other projects ! When I was stationed in Alaska I had a chance to spend time in one pretty 😎😎 cool !

[@patrickswagger]

IT'S A CHEVY, SO GET UR DUN.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Absolutely!

[@1954shadow]

What a great way to start the weekend!

[@shanewright6958]

It’s going to be cool once it comes together 👍👍

[@patrickmeyer1967]

Yesterday I saw a newer Chevy 2500 with what appeared to be a 1960's Airstream cobbled on in place of the bed. This was at Harbor Freight in B/CS. The whole thing was painted white with what looks like house paint. y first thought was of this build and how much cooler this will be!! Try to stay cool in this heat!!

[@chezsnailez]

Don't suppose the window units of that other trailer could be re-used in this wee beastie?

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

That's the plan!

[@georgewarthen3925]

Nice project! Put a gmc front end on it. You'll get four headlights and a better looking grill.

[@stephencastello6553]

I'm gonna enjoy this project. She was brand new when I was in the second grade.

[@NileKelly]

My first exposure to RVs? I was about 8 years old. For Christmas, my parents got me a Tonka toy. It was replicated as the 1973 Winnebago Indian (wasn;t that a motorcycle? lol). Great Tonka toy. It was what we know as a Class A RV. It included 2 Barbie Doll like dolls, a man and a woman. They were the drivers and residents in the toy RV. For a toy, that Winnie was really equipped! There I was, a 10 year old boy, with my Tonka Winnebago Indian and 2 dolls. Gosh, that must have been about 1974? I'd pretend we were going to campsites, but I was the third one, maybe just a friend tagging along with the dolls? lol. The Tonka Winnie was quite large for a die cast toy. Maybe 2 feet long and 8 inches high. You could remove the roof to access the insides and put the dolls inside. The dolls had moveable joints, so they could stand in the galley, sit on the sofa or chairs, or lay down in the master bedroom. Even the bathroom had a plastic functioning door, you could open and close it! The Tonka also had a side door to the cabin, it was functional too. Fast forward to 2024. I'm quite older now. No, I don't play with dolls (lol), but do play with real RVs. I like the less known ones, especially vintage rigs. My current fave is the 1973 Commander, powered by a Chrysler 440, a Class A. Utilitarian, ugly, yet beautiful, a bread box on 6 wheels.

[@TimCarter-y4p]

The bumper and grill shell look straight 👍

[@jeffcomer8317]

Don't know about easier but would be super awesome for car shows

[@bradrichards6107]

Looks like a fun project. Casa De Billy Ray.

[@fishbone856]

I'll be watching this build for sure! Cool find!

[@dianeclark1135]

YOU GO GARTH!! Join the movement- build a tiny house…. and take that little one camping/making memories in style - In a tiny house just for her…..also big sister!

[@debbiebermudez5890]

Mr. B. Here ! After getting a good look, you sir ! Have your work cut out . If done right keep it will be a cool 😎👀😎👀👍👍looking ride !

[@cherjohnson5807]

Big job👍🏽

[@Balerunner]

When you said the rear seal was leaking. If you plan on using that engine. You need to check the Crank end play. We had to R&R Alot of those back in 88. Because of the Crank end play.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Thanks for the tip!

[@Balerunner]

@@garthsgraveyardgarage yes sir YW

[@kbobdonahue1966]

What an awesome find. Never seen one like it.

[@manuelcordero6012]

I like your videos God bless your family

[@rayperry7788]

Dang that's awesome you saved this camping machine

[@rexkean]

I'm excited! Remove the skin first, then you have access to hidden screws! Also, you could use windows and doors from the Bounder! I love rebuilding RV's! Hope you have fun with it, and can't wait to see the videos of it!!!!

[@trevsweb]

I fell in a KZbin rabbit hole and found the other RV video. Watched all three videos back to back. Hope you continue with this build. Looking forward to updates. Hi from the UK good luck

[@wildwwa]

Old rvs are awesome we redid a 65 pull behind. Big following on these vintage campers.

[@1020mj]

Can't wait to see the progress and when it's finished. Good luck !!!

[@Usernamegoeshere84]

Seeing the countryside of central Texas makes me miss living in San Antonio.

[@wadebryan-od7cb]

Good luck and I'm looking forward to see the end results.

[@charlesscheck6517]

nice to have friends like that to help Man lot's of work good luck with the build

[@agentofficerthomasa.porter107]

Garth, This looks like a greatr rebuild. Going to enjoy the restoration. always, Tommy🤠

[@timquigley2975]

Great video I really enjoy your show can’t wait to see what you do with it 😊

[@groundhog8148]

Watch the video that the sleeper dude did they redid a camper much smaller than yours but still an older one and it turned out sweet just like that oldie will

[@Northstar1971]

Its going to look awesom one’s you get it ready 😊👍

[@mikestewart2409]

Looking forward to the resto !

[@josephknopf4856]

Awesome chevy RV.u re good to go Remodeled inside are good woods originally nice but just redo fixed walls & top roofing repair it ❤

[@wdjones4735]

That is one hot mess, but I see your vision👍🏻can’t wait to see what you make of this🙂

[@alan6832]

I like the Sea Ray boat to the right of the camper.

[@jamesyoung4944]

I'm a little envious, this is going to be a cool project, looking forward to seeing Billy Ray completed

[@jimmyzgarage5430]

That sure looks like an old Franklin chassis mount camper. Back in the day they were pretty high-end truck camper. I pretty much grew up in one and traveled up and down the eastern half of the United States in the bed over top of the cab. Lot of good memories.

[@gandalf2439]

Pleased that you decided to rebuild this RV . I have refurbished two , one was a bad leaker and was difficult to repair to original as the outer cladding was no longer available unfortunately. To replace it with modern cladding would have meant it looked like a garden shed , so I managed to put it back together like a jigsaw puzzle . The other one was stripped out so was easier to reconfigure but still a lot of work.!

[@joeteeter]

Man good luck with it and this will be fun to watch

[@Balerunner]

Love the Name fits it well. I'm jealous that would be a great project. I think the age of it. It would be wood framing. I would try and change that up with aluminum much lighter. It already had a big block in it, so the 454 will fit nicely. 😂

[@pamhutzell8268]

And it's really cool!

[@Wolfhound327]

Watching to see how this goes! I wish you luck.

[@ogresspeedshop]

Can’t wait to see this one come together. I don’t care how bad it looks, that’s an awesome find.

[@lancehigdon8683]

I like your channel a lot you make your channel you and your daughters help you out a lot that's pretty cool p I'm glad that you can do it and I like your videos a lot man keep it up

[@randy51]

Hi Garth. Just found your channel a little while ago, and after watching only 2 episodes I immediately subscribed. Randy from Chattanooga, Tennessee said that.

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

We truly appreciate it!

[@theodoredugranrut8201]

Someone makes a really nice roof for those check Sleeperdudes

[@gandalf2439]

I have renovated 2 rv s herein uk and it is very rewarding when they are ready to roll . So enjoy the fun when you are on the first run out and good luck.

[@RiffRaff160]

That little camper is cool beans! Would it be to much work to use the frame and axles from the bounder and maybe mount a classic cab and make it into a transporter, maybe a roll back? Awesome video tho bud! 👍

[@garthsgraveyardgarage]

Plans for that thing are definitely up in the air, but I have some ideas.

[@RiffRaff160]

​@@garthsgraveyardgarage cool, looking forward to it!

[@vicswanby454]

That really is a much better RV nice find with the hood also yeah okay it needs some fixing but the memories you will have in this with your kids will be priceless. That bounder has so much good stuff in it and why not all the interior lights fixtures it's already got an updated kitchen maybe the awning some of the windows maybe a door all good stuff that if you're going all the way as to delaminating this and putting some steel into it why not. Those single pane windows sweat more than desired and that's never good for an RV.. Sleeper dude just did one and it's a pretty darn good watch.. I'm looking forward to seeing this come together for you and your family.

[@activeheart1955]

that is going tobe lots of work but a fun project sure wish l was even just 29 yrs younger l used to help my husband when he repaired cars another thing l miss about him

[@gp500fan]

That's one hell of a project! And I'm looking forward to following along every step of the way.

[@Mutt1952]

Use everything from the bounder
