While GMC built the drivetrain and SHELL, Coachmen Industries (Coachmen RV company) actually built and installed all the interiors in the mid 70's in Elkhart, Indiana. I would be more concerned about the Air ride system and cost and availability than any other drivetrain parts. Doug
As far as air ride, for one that is handy, there are several options available. There generic parts that will work, or there are some well thought out solutions. That is why if you own one, you belong to an affinity group, with a wide variety of ideas, and the resources to back them up.
To the OP, for the things you mention, you could look at Revcon. There is a version as short as 28ft with a permanent bed in the back. (sometimes called 27 ft Duke) In the 80s the drivetrain is custom, but built mostly from common parts. The interiors were very high end Wilsonart laminate, so they hold up well. All very light weight and super strong. And just think what you could do to the motor...
