Crown Highway Post Office (HPO) for sale in Phoenix, AZ
Here is a copy of a posting I placed on the crowncoachjunkies group at Yahoo. Bear in mind that this vehicle has many unique features that make it better (I think) anything else there is. Like a Greyhound, it has air suspension. Unlike a Greyhound, it has a four stroke diesel, a ten-speed stick, and...

Hi DJ, Sorry I didn't reply sooner, I meant to, but I was put off by how much there was to write. I actually haven't done much with the bus, I'm still a little unsure how much I want to change it and how much I want to restore it. I did change a little last week, I put in an airride seat and a few 1...

Hi, I checked the e-mail setting, everthing is OK. There are a couple other things on my mind I think need saying. First I want to thank you for commiting the time, effort, and expense to provide the service and forum that I (and many others) value so much. I know I only have a small idea of the deg...

Wow, I'm surprised to see activity on this thread still. I'm at work, which almost always means I'm offshore somewhere and really out of contact. I got the bus to Kingman without incident a little over three weeks ago. Since then, I've taken my wife and stepdaughter on a day trip and it turns out th...

Well, sort of a postscript, the bus is in Kingman and, rust aside (I wish), I'm very happy with it. I found, during the trip, that my Cummins 220 is a very cold blooded beast. A few days after parking it in Kingman I tried to start it and ran the batteries dead. I returned the next day with a genera...

Hey, I made it to Kingman without incident! From my previous fueling just north of the Grapevine (Wheeler Ridge) to my fuel stop in Adelanto (near Victorville) I'd covered 581 miles on 47.7 gals. That puts me at 12 MPG, I like that. When I was climbing the Grapevine I noticed exhaust smoke in the he...

I'm back in S. Cal., I'll leave for Kingman this afternoon. I saw a post somewhere that mentioned a coolant additive from NAPA called NaCool, I guess I'll try to find that, not much luck finding Now Cool. Sharkey, I've read a lot of your posts here including your saga about moving your Crown, I see ...

Well, I made it to S. Cal. without incident. Service was done in San Leandro at East Bay Truck and Auto repair by Bill King, the man who fears no machine. He says that's why he's getting so many bio-diesel repair jobs now. I think the service was kind of high at $660 but I got everything done that I...

Thanks DJ, it works pretty well (up to a point) shifting from 2, 4, 6, 8. After that it seems like there's a larger gap between the ratios. Actually, in high range it feels like there is a larger gap and you really need the extra gears. Man, I've only had one Jack and Coke and it's already hard to t...

Thanks, I'll stop draining oil out of the filter now. I was wondering why the air tank had lines going to the crankcase... I seem to recall that the air tanks were more accessible. There were none inside any of the compartments. There is now an outline of the bus made up of rust flakes that have fal...
