Figured I would chime in here and stop lurking. I own a 1971 Winnebago that is... as the saying goes... paid for. I'm putting the carb back on this week after having had it rebuilt and discovered it needed to be rebuilt after pulling the gas tank to have it chemically treated and coated due to rust.
I bought it running for $1000. Since then it has been mostly cosmetic stuff and fixing the loose ends of several other "upgrades." My most recent bit of fun involved putting in a city water hook up since the only hook up it had involved the tank for the previous pressurized system. You can imagine my surprise when I also discovered that the new plastic tank while a nice thought, had no return air outlet.
It is a M300 chassis with a 318. I don't think I have read about too many of these in here compared to the 440's. I had a local garage redo the brakes in all four corners. It was a bit pricey but I simply don't trust myself with brakes of this vintage and knowing what to do and spot on something this old.
