Can you get measurements on it? From there the calcs are pretty easy to work out.

Mine is a 60, some longer ones here have a 80 gallon.
I have seen trip buses with two 80 gallons.

the ceiling panels are screwed on, hooked up the radio to another battery and i bought a battery tender from ebay for the coach batteries. looks like the ac lines are flexable so i can just set on floor till i install a ceiling.

I love the demo part.
I just pulled the seats out of a similar bus yesterday. Took me 2 hours with a 9/16 wrench, and brute force. Only had to cut 3 bolts with the angle grinder, the rest snapped.
Looking good.

Sweet!! That's a lot more bus than you were initially thinking, but you will definitely have enough room for all your dogs!
What a sweet ride! And head room, no outside painting necessary... Nice score!

This is proof that everything you need will come to you if you wait, and make the right choices.

Sounds like a pretty sweet deal to me. I'd almost pay that much just to have someone clean up behind the grind down.

These?
On my AmTran, they were spot welded every inch or less. I removed them with my air hammer and chisel bit.
