front end conversion

New to bus conversions and I was curious about changing the front end to a semi truck style to give it a more agressive look. I am converting my bus into a aggressive looking food truck. Similar to thjs one:http://bangshift.com/wp-content/uplo...13/04/bus1.png

Any luck on this conversion? What year, make, model bus you wanting that front end on? I have a Loadstar my dad wants to give me that he converted to an RV years ago. Just never cared for the Loadstar front ends.

I asked the question because I still want to know the answer to the OP's post. Doesn't matter how old it is. I'm at a loss as well why someone would comment on the age of the post.

8 years ago, the user had one post. They certainly didn't finish it. Now they are probably living in a van down by the river.

When you ask for an opinion from the general public it is important to remember that someone might not say what you might want to hear….but it is just as important to remember that most times they are just trying to be helpful as best as they can. If you dont’t like their opinion then please don’t ask or even better, don’ bash!

Now my opinion on your question, I like your question.
For inspiration on your question; google “ Guatemalan city busses”, tab over to photos and voila… inspiration!

Guatemalan’s are really colorful and creative when it comes to painting and modifying the exterior looks of their busses. Some look super badass!!!

In this country we are a bit more conservative on looks so you might not get to see some really good mods/ paint schemes.

Harley Davidson school bus ????
Time to think out of the box!

He's completed an excellent "roadmaster" conversion while retaining a school bus look & feel. RH Drive includes dual cab doors, side entry and rear loading ramp.



...and summer kitchen.
