What info? G3500 chassis parts cheap and plentiful. Check rubber brake hoses and bushing. Grease all fittings. Mines a 1983 b+ but 6.2 diesel. Dog house bigger 1983 on for diesel. It is a full frame unibody. Drive fast and take chances

What information are you looking for? GMC made the Vandura vans (similar to the Chevrolet G-series vans) for a long time but that only covers the engine, chassis and driving cab. Who was the coach builder that turned it in to an RV. There should be a build sheet sticker in the small glove box mounted on the engine “doghouse” that will tell you a lot, see if you can find that and share. What engine do you have? How long? Mileage? How long has it been in or out of use? Is there evidence of leaks? Does it run?
Lots of questions, we need more info. I am currently working on a 1984 G-30 van based RV built by Champion, so there is a lot of similarity on the base chassis.
