I love that site also, but I never did read the whole thing yet.

Hey Rudy, with all that soup you eat, you should convert your bus to methane power also post the recipe so we can try some too.

I saw this bus on You tube a couple years ago, here's the link, funny stuff.

Hey Rudy, Your bus is really turning out nice. I like the overall layout, and it has a good balance between function and elegance. Thanks for keeping us updated. Also concerning your generator, you can convert it to run on propane. If it's not to old you can get the parts from Onan, if they don't ha...

I would think that 16" centers would be excessivly close for steel framing unless you needed it for material attachment (3 x 16" = 48"). The framing on the Housetruck is on 24" centers. Since I never have attached paneling, etc. directly to the studs, but use a horizontal lath o...

So you found surprizes all over that bus. It always seems to be more hassle to work around something someone else built. I was just wondering what would be good spacing when building with steel, is it still recommended to space the studs 16" on center?

Hi Sharkey,

On your vertical wall beams/studs, how far apart are they from each other? they look about 32" to 34" Are they the same span as the original bus beams? Also how thick is the aluminum roof, can you walk up there if you have to?

Thanks. Chuck

Dennis,
I knew you were going to say that.
Will do, if I go.

Sharkey, Thanks for the edit work, sorry for the hassle. Bill, Thanks for the info. This truck looks to be the same size as the top photo you posted. I'm real tempted to go look at it, just because I may never get a chance to see one again. I don't know if he will get that kind of money in this econ...

Thanks, are there pictures of that '57 posted???[/quote] Sorry no pics yet, I'll try to post soon. After looking at the closeup photo of your windows, I think they mocked them up for the movie that it was used in. The ones in my bus look like the ones in the photo Sharkey posted, but not as tall. Th...

Hey cool crown, I have a 57' Atomic energy crown that look's very simular to that 64'. Did you start on the conversion yet?
Do you have any Pics of the inside?
