Duane, Good advice. Have imported your wise words to a prominent spot in my
budding "GMC Restoration Bible."
On the topic at hand, can anyone on the net give me the name of a qualified
GMC shop here in the NE Atlanta area for those jobs I don't feel qualified
or have the specialized tooling to do myself. Preferably one who doesn't
wear a bandana across his face when he presents his bill. Not cheap --
prudent and frugal. :-)

Dick,

You have one of the nicest guys right out in Buford. He has been
straight up with all of the dealings that we have had with him. His
name is Zeb. His shop is called Southland Motorhomes. His
number is 770-271-7502. Don't expect an elaborate surrounding,
but he knows what he is doing. He has even talked us through
several things on the phone.
