1973 barth
ConfusedNot sure where to find out about the chassis.On the glove box spec sheet all it says is
base body or chassis ZW9301
this is the option number for the part it says.I know we are positive it is a 350 engine tho.
here is the pic we have just taken.trying to get all the pics on here so u guys can see all sides.She may not be the prettiest barth out there but we love it.lol.We are going ot get a custom paint done when we get a chance it will be dedicated to the troops overseas as I have 2 children over there now fighting so we figure what better idea to show our support.

I stand corrected! This is really a class A coach, and a real beauty in the rough at that. For future postings of pix, which we all enjoy, perhaps you could check out photobucket. If you use them it doesn't use up bandwidth on the site and you can post all the pix you want. It's free and you can size the pix so we can see the whole pic at once. I'll let Bill give you the specifics.
The Service theme sounds great, we can't wait to see it, and our thoughts and prayers are with all the brave servicemen and women wherever they serve this great country.

My computer shows only the top part.

Here we go again....How about a coupla pitchers?

There were some Dodge chassis, but with a 350, yours is probably a Chevy P30. A picture of the front suspension on just one side will probably identify it here. Or maybe even the instrument panel. Smiler

A picture of the top of the engine showing the valve pans will ID the engine, too.

You have got to love it! A 19 A class, as the doubt would be. I think it should have the name = STUBBIE" or a "Stubbie Humpback"--- nice unit!
What a beautie! With a little TLC, it would be a showpiece in any park.It just tells you what Barth did for its clients. I am always amazed at what Barth put out!

I'm with Neil on this one. It's the coolest little coach I've seen. Can't wait to see what they did on the inside. Hopefully the 350 will allow you to travel a little more than a 454 guzzler would have.

That's just plain cute!

BTW, shell&damon - check the wheel/tire size - if they're 8.00Rx16.5, I have seven wheels and 4 good tires (2 w/500 miles, 2 w/1000 miles) you can have for shipping.

I assume your wheels and tires are 8.00x16.5 - tires aren't too hard to find, but wheels are. I went through about ten trying to find replacements for a warped wheel I had on my old SOB - and none of the ten was good. That size is no longer made. I ended up replacing them with 16" wheels and adaptors at a cost for around $1700...

Where in Indiana are you?

There's a possibility I'll be going to a star party west of Rensselaer in June - we could meet somewhere near there, because freight for these wheels will be otherwise pricey. However, the chances of my going is currently around 30% due to things I have to do around the house, and the dicey IN weather that time of year.
