Wow.
An overdrive with a 3.73 rear end. That thing'll move!

The 6v92 will definitely help it move right along, too!

"Fuller RT11610 transmission "
I am pretty sure that is not an overdrive. Regardless, 1:1 10th gear, 3.73 rear and 11R22.5 tires and a 2350 RPM governor setting would yield 79mph top speed.
I want it.....

Yeah, I saw that they said that, but then they posted a picture of the shift pattern plate which says it's an RTO.

I missed that in the picture. I wonder which is correct, the pic or the text?
If it is an RTO then top speed, if it will pull to redline, would be around 93mph.... Scary....

I'd trust the pic over the seller's description.
Unfortunately, that also means it might not actually have a 3.73 rear end.
As always, buyer beware.

Yeah, that's because the transmission's mounted backwards since it's a rear engine.
How long do you think it'd take to get used to shifting like that?
I'd imagine the learning curve gets pretty steep after you try to shift from first to reverse a couple times.

You buy the plane tickets, and pay for the fuel, and I'll drive it with no charge for my time.

Naw, man- the GOOD ones don't go for much. I bet it stays under $4k.
Folks only buy the buses we warn them against.

I'll check with the minister of finance and get back to you.
If it weren't the middle of summer and if I hadn't just bought a bunch of tools I may have had a shot. I'll see if I can pull it off, though.

That '74 at $5k, with the swapped out yellow steel wheels and less than 40% tires, seems odd. You show and item the way you're going to sell it. He's keeping the shiny wheels and putting on tires less than 40%. First stop at a tire shop? I like this bus but...
The Wanderlodge is nice and still a decent deal, but expensive in my book.
