So I forgot to mention that mine has a 360 two barrel in it. The previous owner put new points in it and rebuilt the carb to get it running. I can change it back, or leave it as is according to my friend.
So far all I know is that there is an exhaust leak. One of the manifolds is cracked. I haven't decide whether I'm a going to replace it or not. I might take it to the local welding shop and see what they want to repair it as opposed to replacing it. Welding is not currently in my skill set.
I said I'd post pictures of what was wring with the door when I got to the PC. So here they are.
The original door. The bottom white portion was a separate piece of metal. Someone has cut off the bottom of the piece and riveted that to it. But water was running inside the door right there. And at the window and the lock.

This is what was left of the door.

And finally, the new door I made for it. Before the problem with the window became apparent.

I bought a new frame for the glass. But I also want to take the door apart and block in the window a bit better and change the way I insulated it. It works for now though. The cover for the generator is inside, its need a little love. I've covered the opening with plastic to keep the birds and rats out.
I also dug up some pictures on the inside, basically as I received it.
Looking towards the cab. That's a toy/airsoft rifle, btw. It was there when I got it.

Looking towards the back.

Other side.

Sink Close-up.

I don't seem to have any pictures of the head or the bunks in the back. They have some junk in them right now like an old TV and VCR and stuff. Like I said, the inside needs cleaned. The bathroom is pretty nasty, as is the carpet and stuff. Lots to do. Just been too busy lately.
I looked up the VIN and it seems to be built on the MB400 (1 1/2 Ton) Chassis. I haven't had any luck locating a service manual. Anyone know where I can find one?
Looks like the manuals for everything else is in the dinette, like the generator, etc. Haven't read through them all yet. Not sure if anything has been upgraded or changed by previous owners other than what I've previously mentioned.
Anybody have an order of operations for fixing these guys up? A method to the madness, if you will. Or doesn't it matter?
Sorry for the really long post. Thanks guys.
