Bus Living, Truck Living, Boat Living. You name it, if you live in a home that is capable of moving by itself, or have the desire to, then this is the place for you.

It has a 251 Chrysler Industrial flathead 6. Top speed 45 mph. It took 6 months to get across country and back. Never had a starter, always hand cranked her over. Always started the first time. Except for the time I ran out of gas in the middle of an intersection in Boise, Id.. I was so stoned I forgot to leave some gas for the carburetor. I must have cranked for 10 minutes. Afraid the cops would show any minute. When she finally started I heard the roar of a crowd and looked up to see a crowd on each corner. I bowed and made a hasty retreat. Hard to beat the old dodges for tough.

Thats funny. What a way to quench a good buzz though.

I had a dodge-lodge motorhome with a real similar cab. I really loved that old boat. Painted it camo also but don't have any pics. Used to spend weekends down on Zuma beach in it when I was young and single....
Yeah right, you call 6 to 10 people stuffed in the lodge SINGLE?....WHATEVER.
It's the same year as your Dodge-Lodge. It looks like a W-500 chassis.
Here is a 1963 W500 Power Wagon, with a factory roof raise. It sold on Ebay last week for $2325.
here is another gmc, would make a cool house truck for those who want to get off the pavement and can afford the fuel, it was an auto but now has a 5 speed trans, that was my winter project, it took some doing but its in , i have another that i might part with, maybe . steve
just because you ride the bus , it doesnt make you a bus person
