I suppose I should go read the pick-up info. WV bus is 4 hrs away so I could take about any day off of work to fetch it. The WA bus will take 3 or 4 days to get back plus airfare out. Good news on the WA is I have a buddy that's 35 miles away. I can ship my tools out to him, grab the bus, and run.

I can't remember which one I saw, but had high headroom, 8.3, and 3060.

That's the WA bus. The WV bus has the MT643. It'll be a bitch deciding which to keep and which to flip. I'll keep both for a month at least just so I can go out and look at them parked next to each other.

Possibly, but man I really don't like south FL at all. Tampa isn't too far though.

Nah, not much use to me, Bob. They all need to be towed and all are 545's. If they had parts worth all that effort, maybe, but those will go straight to a junkyard.

Why do so many folks buy dealer buses when there's this beauty with a mechanical 8.3 in AZ?

Still beats the 10-20 thousand dollar prices at dealers. And its all mechanical. Those are worth extra to me as well as lots of other folks.
