I think thats where we bought our shorty . We were near Cleveland Ga. riding down the road and i saw it . I yelled turn around theres my bus . My hubby never liked them so this time I insisted [ threatened his les Paul guitar ]. Now he loves our bus .

It was a huge place so it was probably the same place you got parts . We paid them $2500 for it, drove it home 400 miles right off lot .

It might be cheaper to get your existing radiator serviced by a radiator shop than to buy a used one that may end up failing faster than the original one. If you do the labor of removal and installation, that'll save you some money as well. Jake Von Slatt documented his experience with that here.

good luck,

Re: List of Bus Yards & Graveyards

I just visited Van der Haag's Truck Sales/Parts/Service south of Council Bluffs, Iowa (near Omaha, NE). They have about a dozen or so "junked" buses that have good bodies and may be usable for parts & body metal. Manufacturers: Blue Bird, Carpenter, Superior, Thomas, Ward/AmTran, Wayne. They also had two IH/Carpenter conventionals, a 1985 and 1991, in the regular (roadworthy) used-vehicle section. Three locations in Iowa: Spencer, Des Moines, Council Bluffs, and in Sioux Falls, SD. No RV parts or salvage, though.

See http://www.vanderhaags.com. Not a huge selection, but worth checking out.
