I used to have a '79 Chevy C-60 (or C6000, can't remember exactly). It had a 366 with a 5 spd. manual transmission. Not a bad monster. Never understood how it always ran so well. As for driving it, it wasn't at all bad. The biggest thing you have to watch for is the tail entering the other lane when turning because it hangs out so far past the rear wheels.

We converted it to an RV. It never had running water, but we got all the seats out and put down carpet, installed an entertainment center, and put in about 4 or 5 couches. It was a full-size bus and probably would have seated about 50 something kids, possibly 60. I can't remember now. There are quite a few people that have made the conversion. I did it when I was about 19 with 3 other friends. Insuring it can be a huge pain, so start doing some research now. That was our biggest problem.

Regards,

David
