Re: My new B700 Thomas
Thought I'd better post something even though progress on the bus has come to a halt.
I've been living in this small town in southern Idaho the last year trying to take care of my father's house...

Re: 93 Thompson body flat nose wiring
For the off road lights, there should definitely be relays involved. I've attached a picture of a wiring diagram that I drew up really quick. For the wire that goes from the accessory solenoid to...

Re: My new B700 Thomas
This bus, a Thomas, had screws for the interior panels. My last bus, a Bluebird, had rivets. With my battery drill, it took maybe an hour to get all the screws out and the panels taken down. When...

Re: My new B700 Thomas
I took a few pics of the sub box tonight, but they didn't turn out so great since it's so dark in there. But at least you can kinda tell what it looks like now.

Re: My new B700 Thomas
The starting bid is $1000 and the Buy It Now price is $2000.
I'm going to be keeping a couple of the factory heaters, but not the two front ones. They are huge and inefficient size-wise, so I...

Re: My new B700 Thomas
