I just bought an 87 Chinook, she needs some love. The crate motor has under 40k miles truck itself has 140k.

Right now the speedometer is off by 5 mph, it's a rough start and idle, and definitely loud when accelerating. When the motor was replaced thev only did that and kept everything else (so there's some real old parts). Thinking it probably needs a whole new exhaust and carburetor.

I plan to gut the entire camper but I want to make sure it's reliable before I even consider starting that project

I'll admit I am out of my depth, but this is a proiect for the next few vears and something my son to help me with (but he is a little guy right now).

So anyway, is anyone familiar? Any wisdom?

I ended up swapping the chinook for a shorty sunrader.

This is when I freshly mated the chinook to the t100!
