I love the old PW's I have had a few in the past. Here is one (not mine) that I think most people that visit MrSharkey.com will enjoy, as the concept fit's this site and this thread. Good luck fitting it anywhere else. Hope you enjoy.

Chuck, That GIANT truck/home is amazing. It's great to see somebody with lots of money build something like that. BUT, just what is he going to do with it? Live in the desert? Crazy stuff!

I'm not sure, but I think he's just a nut like the rest of us. It would be cool if he joined the forum.

Mike, I just watched the three videos of Ernest and his bus. He is a fun guy. I guess that the wood stove on the back of the bus is used for heating the bus. It is a strange contraption.

Thanks for posting the link. Watching the videos brought many smiles. Everyone needs a friend like Ernest.

This is the engine in the power wagon bus. 230 cubic inch, flathead 6
This is a photo that Steve sent me. Perhaps it is from one of his vehicles.

I LIKE IT! I found this on Craigslist.

Up for your consideration is the worlds largest Rat Rod School Bus
This vintage super cool bus is powered by a 413 Dodge and a Torque Flight Tranny
The bus sits on a 1953 Duece and a 1/2 drive train with new drive shafts and new skins.

This bus runs and drives down the road but has no lights working
This bus has seats for passengers and a super cool bathroom
Please no B/S scammers or spam

If interested please call Danny @ 404-391-1021 404-391-1021 Thanks for looking
