Hi Busguy; A little administration on your posts, there were two that were identical, so I deleted one to prevent confusion. As for your question, about all I can think of is that you'll need to make sure that there is plenty of space in the isles and around furniture, etc, but that should be obviou...

Crowns are a throw-away item in Califormia right now. The CA state gov't has a bounty on them. If school district fleets scrap their old Crowns (pink slip must be returned to the DMV from a wrecker), they get a healthy subsidy to buy a new coach to replace it. The idea is to get the old buses off th...

Well, it's been a quiet year for the Pusher , as I haven't attended many events, car shows or other exhibitions with the EV, so I didn't need the trailer to transport the Rabbit long distances. There was one small local VW show that I went to, taking the EV and Pusher out to show it. Of course, ther...

Rolling Homes is one of those books that is hard to find used, and even harder to purchase for a reasonable price. The current going rate for an average paperback copy is $125.00, but I have heard of them selling for as much as $195.00. Hardcover editions can cost as much as $500.00 !! Several peopl...

Interesting slide-out, I wonder if it was salvaged from a commercially-manufactured RV?

Hi Dennis; No worries on the spelling, you can always go back and edit the post if you find a mistake. I was actually looking at a spel checker program that installs on the forum to check posts before you submit them, but it doesn't work with Opera, so it wouldn't do me any good... As for how to pos...

Oh, good, I didn't want you to be offended. Does that mean I could have just left it at "Not right away"?

Hey! No calling me out in my own forum!!! Since you asked, here's more than you wanted to know. If you've spent much time on the site, then you know I never do anything the easy way. You can decide after reading it if you want to hate me forever. Way back when I composed my first web page, coding th...

Actor Woody Harrelson's new movie 'Go Further' opens November 12th in theatres. The movie's title is a tribute to Ken Kesey, with whom Harrelson felt a strong bond. From the movie's web site : =============================================== Calling his new movie an “Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test on ...

Hi Matt, good hearing from you again, glad to see that the Further East project is moving forward. So far, traffic on the forum is light-to non-existant, but you might want to post a couple of threads in the Buy/Sell/Trade section with subject lines describing the buses, 1947 IH parts needed and ano...

Since it's just you and me so far, I'll post here too. Original bus windows are pretty sucky all around. They leak, rattle, are difficult to insulate and screen and if they are the type that drop into the wall, prevent you from doing a complete job insulating the side of the bus. Later model buses s...

Hi David, As you've already found, bus body makers offer more overhead as an option. In years gone past, this was common for buses that would serve high school fleets and (for example) military bases. I don't know if the addtional height would be enough to allow much in the way of insulation in the ...
