The wife and I just had a conversation about selling our best mid-demo. Perfect timing for somebody to take over, before any customization begins.

I think you missed a point. Myself and the OP may have something in common on this build that most others won't. The need for a HD hauler for farm related things. I could go and buy a used duramax...

Very nice. I have had this drawn and sketched out in my project book for my next big project. I planned to do the same to make a 6 window cab with an 8-10ft bed.

I would go for it. Starting bid is too high though. DT466 with the locking Allison auto. A good bus for a full size conversion. Downside is the body damage front left and tree dents back right.

Charlie,

I don't think he is using reds for flashers, but the Amber's for flashers. There shouldn't be anything wrong with using those light positions for additional stop and turn lights, as long...

I am a bit out of the way. And if it's raining around the time of pickup or drop off, we risk getting stuck. [emoji12]
