New Bus will Be here in June
Ok Here it is I am not converting the International. I have stumbled on another better bus. This bus I have known and maintained it's whole life. It is a 2002 Freightliner Thomas. Powered with a Cummins ISB 5.9L Allison 2000 Overdrive Transmission it has approx. 115,000 miles This bus is in Excellant Shape Alot better than the other one

Can wait to see you get started. About two weeks from now right? Really nice looking rig man. The cockpit is sweet, wish mine was that clean.
