GMC Lower A Frames Needed

[mike finnicum]

Roger Nelson reinforces the GMC lower AFrames. According to Roger,
GMC used slightly reinforced Toronado and Caddy AFrames for our
coaches.

At least 4 of our current Club Members have had their A Frames collapse.
And this week alone Roger has had two calls from GMC owners who had
theirs collapse on the highway.

Problem is Roger can not properly rebuild and reinforce one that has
broken and he is now out of cores.

If anyone knows of any GMC wrecks or other sources please contact
Roger direct. He has email hawg5 but just got home PC so
he will be joining us soon.

In mean time - any ideas? He can use 1966 to 1976 Toronado or Caddy
A Frames but even they are becoming scarce in his area and are more
work as he also has to do the regular GMC reinforcing.

Mike,
I had the opertunity to talk with Roger at last weeks Sunshine Statesmen
rally at Reddick and saw his modifications, his A frames are pretty
impressive!

I would suggest that people pull of their A frames before they tear up and
send them to Roger for his work. That may sound a bit much, but it is
obvious that this is a critical part and rebuilding in the way he does will
assure no breakdowns!

I'm getting ready to start on a 23' for myself and I guarantee you I will
pull off my A frames & send them too him for his magic- am I sold- you bet!!
