I forgot all about that movie I did see it a long time I go also I built one while I was only 15 I almost forgot all about that back then I had a little bit more ambition and not so much to do

I think these days we call that sink or swim…. Bob

Man there’s no end of these treasures I am not sure if it’s a sunbeam or a triumph at the end … Bob

thats what im constantly dealing with on I 80.its rediculous...bob

just noticed according to the later steering wheel,,,,i dont think the bus is as old as most of us thought...bob

that thing will give me nightmares,,,,get rid of it...bob

Man you and Matt never Siece to amaze us .. bob

Oooooooooooo my god that’s amazing….. I would have thought you had a different kit,,, you are a master hats off partner… bob

Sorry I can’t help but I do remember transit mixed in Southern California had tons of those they were real nice looking rigs they were red with white barrels. I don’t know what happened to the company I left the area and 94 and a returned 5 years ago and they were gone.. bob

Did you modify the curb so the doors open???? or is that the way it came my doors do not open

Wow great job thanks for sharing I have the tractor model I haven’t done anything with it for years just barely started it about one of years ago and it’s still sitting in a box looks like you have more ambition… bob

Too many likes it’s about all I got this time you all covered it.. bob

Ahahahahaha I’m sure after all evening of drinking in a bar and lotsa chat we would all need one as well as a cab

I would like to join you both with a case of beer of course ha ha. Bob

Wonderful nice neat work thanks for the post Yes I use hardware parts quite a bit for other stuff like you got there I remember riding with my dad In a U models 1969 we pretty much had to scream at you other cabs were so loud back then … aaaaaaaaaaaahh great memories wish I could go back … Great progress bud … bob

Yeah they were but I also don’t recall many Twin axle school buses or city line buses for that matter pretty cool I would actually like to have it for a motorhome Gorgeous flowers thanks for posting

We are never going to run out of oil… it keeps growing like grass and hair … but of course they think we’re all stupid….: bob

Well most of know China has got Biden in thier pocket and they have admitted how easy Americas politicians can be bought… how embarrassing is that????? … but it does answer a lot of questions… so …. Oh ya both China and our own politicians are getting very rich off all of us and they don’t care…,, Bob

I am sure a lot of you fellas remember the helper apprentice days you could hire on reputable shop as a helper and get all the Experience needed watching everybody else handing them tools etc A lot of times they would let you put it back together after you watch them take it apart and then they would watch you make sure you did everything right best way to learn… on the job experience win-win situation. nowadays people hiring mechanics really don’t even know what they’re looking for or what to ask them like wow man what a country ha ha… Bob

Few years back I used to do all my own work not only do I not have time anymore but most of the stuff on these later models we can’t do anything with them anymore anyway.:Bob

Nobody is perfect and I don’t expect them to be we have a very reputable garage we have here in town we use for everything 5 star rating … mechanics are all old and professional tight ship operation ,, but still down home hospitality… we are very lucky to have them And they standby all their work they’re not cheap but they never sell you anything you don’t need they rebuilt the transmission on our F150 and they made a mistake something inside the transmission they pulled it back out and fixed it right no charge they said yes it was definitely our mistake but yes sometimes you could get really rimmed by some of these rip offs overcharge shotty work , Replace shit that there was nothing wrong with etc. yes I have nothing but good things to say about them.. And get this customers come with seniority the longer you have been with them they put you first according to years of service there.. that impressed the shit out of me… bob

Took the shield off mine after all these story’s I should put it back on…. Bob

I am not sure I think my 87 U model I had the same one except it was tan … not quite sure I sold it 32 years ago and I am getting old and Senile. Bob

I heeeeeeeeeeeya
