1988 Chevrolet Silverado. Fully self-contained 4 berth motorhome. 350 V8 fuel injected, 4 speed TH700R auto. Built in 2010 from a ‘88 Chev C1500 Silverado.
We took a very nice CF Bedford motor home, cut off the cab and slotted a 1988 Chevrolet Silverado in its place. We then spliced the Chevy chassis to the Bedford chassis, retaining the CF diff, re-drilling it to take the 18” Chevy mags, with lowered custom leaf springs and a walk through cab. Since than the motorhome has had skirts and trims added, full prep and re spray. Painting by David Searby.
This proved an excellent conversion with terrific power to weight ratio, handling and economy. Another great Chevrolet Muscle Motor Home to join the fleet.
