Wanted, bathroom for a '67 Ambassador

till · 03-18-2004, 10:38 AM

Looking for just about everything for my Ambassador bathroom. I have a toliet, and that is just about it. The sink top and medicen cabnet are there but shot. Any leads wolud be great. I have been calling around to some different salvage yards and I'm not haveing much luck. I would like to ba able to stay clean on the road.

Also looking for 1 sky light crank assembly for my 67. The '66 won't work. Same deal here, leads are helpful too. Ebay and salvage yards are not looking good as of this date I have been trying off and on for a couple of months.

Still looking for the bathroom for my Ambassador. Wife really like the "Aqua" color too. Any one, any one... Buller???

Have you considered building your own? Your own cabinet, countertop, sink insert, etc... It seems you'll be very lucky to run across a 67 remodel that is getting rid of the entire bathroom, and I've seen some pretty neat custom remodels with new bathrooms in them that are much nicer than the originals. Just a thought...

That is what we are kicking around as of know. Since I have up to a year till I'm at the piont to put in the bath, I thought I would try and gather the pieces if possable. I know that I will at least need the bath tub, or find a sutable replacment for one.

Till, I have a wreck of a '61 Overlander sitting in South Carolina that may or may not have some suitable parts for you. Given the 6-year difference, are the models too disparate? I'm too green to know. Haven't seen the '61 yet but I could call the PO and ask about specifics. He told me the bathroom "needs work," so it's a long shot but you'd be welcome to anything in there.

My trailer is getting towed to South Jersey RV this summer to have the whole shell raised 7" so I won't have any use for what little innards it has left.

Hey Till I want to stay on the very best of terms with you. I see a need for a master machinist in my Vintage refurb future.

But now don't you think it would be easier to decide whether we know where what you need is if we had an inkling of the floorplan of the Ambassador?

I have tried. But not a clue on your avatar or your profile or in your posts on this thread. Cmon Till.

Center or Rear Bath?

I have never seen the aqua. Best settle for any color. IMHO

Jaco,
Not a master machinest, but working as machinest. Though these days I'm a "Calibration tech.".

BTW I live your signiture.

The 1967 Ambassador is a rear bath only (Unless some one has done a custom job on it) and the International package changed the bath from yellow to aqua.

Here is the floor pan of the bath from a double. I plan to rebuild mine as a twin.

till · 04-15-2004, 06:18 AM

Here is what the Aqua looks like.....
I most likely can fab everything but the tub.

till · 07-14-2004, 08:58 PM

Still looking for the complete bath.....

Anyone...

I.m having trouble sending this reply, But I have an aqua rear bath in my Outlander exactly like the floor plan you have. I am stripping out the interior. so far I havent goten to the bath. Everything is there I think including the original shower screen. Some of the doors are delaminating but could be repaired with some care. the whole trailer is filthy dirty but is cleaning up fairly easy. However I live in Oregon, in the Umpqua valley and I,m not into crating this stuff up..

Suz,
Thank you, but I'm trying to keep the mods to the trailer to a min. A 1970 bath would be a major change to the plumbing and layout.

Mac,
I'm willing to work something out. If you are planning on not using the bath, I'm sure I can get a pick up worked out or if need be a road trip. to pick it up myself.

Like you said, with a little work can be fixed. I'll start working on a plan to get out your way.

If the leads don't work out, here are my thoughts, since I have a '66 and would be in the same deal as you if I had to replace:

Your countertop and sink LOOK ok. Is the Fiberglass cracked or BADLY chipped? If not, Gel Gloss will really give it new life. Also forum members have raved about a gelcoat like paint for their baths, you would have to search under bath restoration. And even cracked fiberglass can be repaired, just need to know how.

Peeling laminate can be repaired with the same glue that is used to hold it down originally, or you could cut new would pieces and relaminate with similiar type coverings. If you haven't done this before, and don't own or use a router, a small cabinet shop could make you pieces to spec.

The tub is the tricky one. Again, cracked fiberglass can be repaired and some forum members have claimed you can fix it no matter what shape it is in. Again, search the forums. If it is really gone and you can't find another just like it, how about building a "new" shower? The walls are already water proof, and you'd just need to find a fiberglass shower pan that fits the spot. Fifties AS's had this type of setup. You might want to explore this as a fall back. With your tub towards the front of the bath, it is mostly a square floor pan. Mine is at the back wall and conforms to the curve. And I know what it is like to have and want "original".

What about the vent lifters is different with yours? I thought they would be the same as mine. Inland RV sells the ones I have.
