Yeah...Roger that TM3--- You definitely need to have them spell out exactly what is and is not covered. Most of the brokers I spoke with were real quick to say..."we are fully insured". Turns out they mean exactly what they said... "THEY" are fully covered. You & your rig are NOT, unless you...

Just a crazy bad ass build...LOVE IT! Outside the box?...What box?

That's a lot O' Chop! Very cool...thanx!

I have jacked it up and the best scenario seems to be to raise the body a ways with one jack and then the axle just enough to clear the ground with another. Had a small Toyota camper that was a bear to change tires on too for the same reason. Don't want to go through that with these wheels &...

Here's one more view. I may end up making it just a tad smaller, but this is close.

Among (many) other things, I need to alter the rear wheel cut-outs. There is no way in Hell anyone could change a tire on this thing without a forklift and even then it would be tricky. The wheels are on 20 x 5 rims and right at 37" tall, but for whatever reason, Wayne Coach Works put the tiny...

I had to haul mine down to Houston, Texas...wasn't all that bad once I found a good shipper. Went through a dozen or more of the "big time" outfits...a total waste of time. Nothing but overpriced brokers. Finally contacted an independent hauler who was great to work with. If you ever need...

Just for the record --- I have started a "Build Thread" in the appropriate area. Thanks to all for the interest & encouragement.

Howdy All --- I'll pick up on constructing the A/C box. I decided early on that I did NOT want a typical RV rooftop unit. They are way overpriced, less than reliable and notoriously bad about shedding the cheap covers that have virtually zero UV resistance. I also wanted to be able to replace...

Thanks folks. Buses are kinda fun. If anyone is looking for one, they are located at a wonderfully wacky campground called "Mystic Hot Springs" just outside Monroe, Utah. And in case anyone was wondering...yes, the seal around the fuel neck is indeed a floorshift boot die cut to fit snugly and...

Ya...some really great old iron there. The place is called "Mystic Hot Springs"...just out of Monroe, Utah in case anyone is shopping.

As I bought it in Utah. Real short. Howdy All --- I don't know if my little project is what most folks would call "Rat" or not but here goes. It's a 1946 Chevy school bus that I'm converting into a mini-RV & traveling rig. Plan to keep the outside pretty much as was but replacing the most of...

Hmmmm...I wonder if the Moddies could move everything from #14 and up over to the "Build Area"? If not, I can start a new thread there. Just lemme' know.

Thanks again for the encouragement, but my work pales compared to what I see on this forum. All of you guys seem to casually yank bodies off and re-shape frames and stuff in crazy cool powerplants and fab more neat stuff from scratch than any bunch I've ever seen. And, speaking of...

New Guy Here --- gonna take me days or maybe even weeks to go through this forum but I'm lovin' it! I'm converting a 1946 Chevy school bus into a mini-RV and have really been diggin' the finds on this thread. Below are a couple of shots taken at the wonderfully wacky campground in Utah where I...
