Old Bus (Part Deaux)

[uglyota]

I will NOT be suckered into carrying that up to your gameroom

[AggieTJ2007]

sure you know you will be begging to carry it up the stairs

why didnt you just road trip back to austin to buy the one we saw just like that a mile from where you got the one you have, offered them $750, and come out ahead?

That one was not complete and not a rounded rear bus. Not the same vintage. It was also a Ford. Bedies, this makes for much richer story telling.

you gotta be kidding me...you're bringing the whole thing back and not just the glass and doors?
I must not understand your "budget"

Because for another several hundred dollars, I have a whole bus. We still would have had to driven up there, cut out glass, then reinstall it into the one I have. Plus, I think the bodies are a little different, so probably only the windshiield would have worked, maybe the rear glass. It seems a little different though and if it is, that would totally bite if all I had was windows that didn't fit. Now I have all kinds of spare drivetrain parts.

This one had a 305 V6 in it. It ran before I had him take it out. He wanted another $400 for it. I'd rather just put that towards my 5.3 replacement. We're just rolling back into Texas. We should be home around 12 - 1 AM. Everything has been smooth sailing so far. We haven't even run out of fuel yet. But we did bring the cans and used one this morning before leaving St. Louis, JIK. We pushed it to get to Emilia's because we were tired as hell yesterday.

That's about it from here. If I can find the camera bag, I'll transfer and post some pics. We took pics in front of the Arch this morning.

the one we stopped and looked wasnt exactly like this one?

[davido]

No, it was newer. I didn't realize it until I got up closer to it.

im gonna have to get a good update with pics on this soon - i saw old big trucks all weekend and wondered to myself if the glass would work everytime.

[agjohn02]

No, it was newer. I didn't realize it until I got up closer to it.

must not have been much older, 65 or 66, it had the same generation front end.

I found one of these old busses in New Davy today. Same style front, rounded rear.

[davido]

Is that all of the info you have on it? What make/body/year?

[eight]

That's all I got driving by. I can stop in and look closer on my way back to college station thursday if you'd like. I think it has the rounded front. Its probably one my mom road to school in.

The one in Poth is much cooler though. But its also much older and I haven't got a good look at it. I think it would need a whole lot more money and time than you want to spend.

[davido]

Cool. Please take lots of pictures if you can.

Too late, I'm allready in town.

So what does it need....just a new christmas tree air freshner?!

[davido]

For future reference, the answer is yes. If you're going to be drivig by a vehicle that you think I may be interested in, please take pictures. Thanks.
