Early generation Chinooks on Dodge chassis'

[Astrodokk]

Hello All!
I've been going over old threads and decided to update this old one, my original from way back when!
I sold my '78 in 2016 after enjoying it for a couple of years. I was moving from California to Washington State and had too much stuff!
I recently bought a 2000 Concourse over Christmas and New Year. I drove it from SC during that time, that's why I use that range of both holidays.
I don't really miss the old '78, since it was very dated, but I did enjoy fixing it up and learning about Chinooks. It was so nice to have one that size that I decided to buy the newer one as my last RV ever.
I'm not sure if anyone active in this forum has what I would call a Gen 1 rig? Haven't seen much posted about them, much less in this thread since 2014!
