Kevin- did you sell the truck yet? If not, post some pictures here, ok? Thanks, DB

I stumbled across this website: www.vonslatt.com/bus-main.shtml
It shows the project of turning a 1981 Thomas rear engine school bus into a nice homemade motorhome. Lots of good pictures with specs and instructions.

A flock. But I always thought "a herd of turkeys" had more pizzaz to it! (A rafter?? I wonder what they call a bunch of chickens? I still like "a herd of turkeys")

Rudy, sometimes it appears that God lets us go down so low that the only way we can look is up. Now I know some don't believe in a God and I don't want to start a theological ruhbarb here, but I have seen some really big and crazy things work out in my own life and in other's lives that defies ratio...

The UK house and bus truck website is a kick! Thier buses look so quaint and English. (I guess they should, being in England!) Thier troubles finding places to camp out and live in thier rolling homes makes me appreciate all the BLM, National Forest and state lands we can live on if we want to. We h...

Sweet old bus! Do you regret selling it? I hope it has a good home now in Vt!

Well said about the woods DennisTBD! Nothing like getting away from people, artificial life in the city or urban areas and getting away to the real world out in the woods and mountains. Gives a person a much needed attitude adjustment, kinda sets the proper perspective for me. Alot of folks are kind...

I have about 5 years before I hit the big 62 and can start drawing my own meager share of Social Insecurity. I figure on working until I die, they will have to pry the hammer or welding lead out of my hand when they plant me. We had all our meager savings in our home and property, but if this market...

Rudy, when I brought my bus home a couple of months ago I had to remember to stay left, it was easy to drop the right side tires off the pavement on narrow roads. I drove school bus when I was a college student, and it brought back memories of getting in the habit of staying more left then right, es...

Sharkey, I know the drill: lack of funds, or time, energy or motivation and sometimes all four! So I too put favorite projects on the back burner, and hope to get to them someday. But I am beginning to wonder if the time and the money will ever be available at the same time before I get too old to g...

Any progress this year (2009) on the Crown??

Doug, I hope you keep us posted on what you do to the outside of your bus, I want to see the paint job when it is done. I went to your site and saw the inside, I really like it! DB

That front end, fenders, headlights and grill on the White trucks and buses was so classic! It embodied the golden age of truck styling it seems. I imagine that the big gas truck engines did not do well for fuel mileage but when fuel was only 15-20 cents per gallon, it was almost a moot point. When ...

Ditto me too! DB

Mike- I love that toy!! In the mid-70's I had a chance to buy out an old Hobby/Toy store that was going out of business. They had some very rare nice old toys that I bought and resold 'cause I was a poor college student and needed the money. One was a very neat 40's tin car that pulled a camp/house ...
