I am looking into buy my first "Bird" and am looking at 1980s PT40s. Regardless of what I am being told by any seller, I have to politely assume "DOA", as a value on any engine/transmission/running gear I am seeing. As such, what range should I expect to spend rebuilding and/or replacing a 6v92T Detroit Diesel, 5-speed Allison transmission and other running gear, i.e. rear differential, brake hubs and etc. Should any of that be upgraded? Any recommendations as to whom I should have do the work? I reside in Southwest Florida, the Greater Ft. Myers area, but I am willing to travel anywhere to find the most competent person/outfit.

I have an 83 PT40 with over 300k miles. I'm ready to go to Montana in that baby and she has served me well for the last 6 years. There are quite a few coaches out there for sale
