Now I see why you needed to borrow the dollies.
I assume this is the one you guys went to check out Saturday?
Nice score, looking forward to seeing it on the road.

This bus is awesome and the fact that we were able to score it locally from a really cool cat who had it just chillin in his garage is a pretty amazing feat in this day and age....what's funny is my girlfriends sister lives about 3 blocks away...it's crazy what's still hiding in peoples garages.

I won't guarantee more views, but I will guarantee less haters. Give me some measurements on the Cal Parts wheels and I'll see what I can do for you in the front and rear to make them fit. These numbers would be a good start width / offset / backspacing (don't worry about bolt circle or diameter).  |

Of course you should raise the box. Its just metal, you can always change it if you had to. I would avoid going so low you need tubs though. |

I have the SA kit out of my Vendo if you are interested. I decided to swap the whole deal out for a Pro Street trans (more on that in the Vendo thread) Trans, SA kit, assembled ready to go. Clean it up and add brakes you are good to go. I don't want your cash, I'll trade for labor............ |
