It would give you much better braking plus plenty of air for your bags. just add an additional tank for capacity.
edit: just buy a running example w/ air brakes for $1500 and swap bodies/ chop shorten frame.
At First That Seems Like A Bigger Project But If You Really Think About It It Could Be About The Same, Plus You Have Something Fairly Easy To Find Parts For Mechanically. All The Drivetrain Is Done
If your going to alto, i can bring those books with me
Better yet, get a rear engine bus then put your regular body on it. We use the space in the front clip for storage of kegs/a smoker/hot tub...the list is truly endless!
that is an excellent idea!Quote:

Now I can't stop this train. I have two other free offers on busses. All are 1000+ miles away. :( How about one free CLOSE bus instead?!?! :confused2
Oh well. Leaving out tomorrow morning for A-town, then home, then up to Cowtown. John Cox is coming down to Austin. Anyone else interested in tagging along, let me know.
