It runs and drives well... had it up to 50+. It needs U-joints, brake work, some exhaust work and new tires... small chip in windshield. Otherwise solid as far as I could tell. :thumb:

Non-dually?

What is the technical term to describe buses that do not have dual rear wheels? Is it just "non-dually"? Thanks!
