Here I am enjoying a boat ride and the scenery of Lake Powell
I am now settled in Flagstaff , Arizona. Got to see Chuck and his latest Crown, the two axle T.V. bus/truck on his way west. Let us know how the trip went, Chuck!

I left California last week for Flagstaff, Arizona. I passed Chuck while I was driving a gas tanker in Joseph City, Az were the I 40 is one lane each way at the bridge construction.

Hi Chuck! I don't have any side glass. I traded it all to Glenn in Mojave several years ago for some chrome bumper teeth. My bus was a sister bus to the one he had, and side glass in one was used to replace missing and broken glass on the other. So, in the end, the glass that was in one and put in t...

Elden's Bus Right Side Complete
I took my last route off and asked my dad to come down from Laughlin, NV to help hang the three remaining sheets of aluminum. The result looks pretty good. I had previously welded in some 110 feet of 1.25" square tube for window frames and other sidewall reinforcment. The panels are riveted on ...

No, actually I got a good core from Patrick Young in Fresno. It was missing some of the air plumbing needed for the hi-low shifter, but the gears and sliding clutches looked good. I paid $450 for it and put in about another $500 for new seals, updated bearings, and updated hi-low shift vavles. Patri...

Most of the standard installs of the 10 speeds were RT-910 being a direct drive ratio (1:1). I converted mine to an RTO-910 that has an overdrive ratio....thats where I picked up the 10 or so miles per hour. To be honest, I never determined what my rear axle ratios are. The main purpose of getting t...

Anti lock brakes
It has been my experience that anti lock brakes work just as well on soft sand and dirt. I would think that you would not want the tires to dig in, as that is just 4 small hills you have to overcome to get rolling again, not to mention the "steerability" to go around something if you have ...
