The illness continues....4x4 project...

[reddog]

So despite my decision that one bus is enough, I saw this and could not let it languish in disrepair or be cannibalized for parts, so I went to look and it followed me home:

It's a 1977 Chevy, 366 gasser with a 5 speed manual tranny, hi/lo transfer case, Thelma retarder, Rockwell 90 front axle. Originally ordered as a bus to transport mine employees from parking area to the mine, never saw service as a school bus. 71xxx miles. Runs and drives like a champ, but kinda thirsty....
I have gutted the "rustic" interior and started back with a modest camper conversion. I'll keep the forum posted and get some current pics up soon. Currently snowbound at a friends property,

so snowmobiling back and forth to work on it. At least the phone doesn't ring while I'm trying to get something done...
Stay tuned...

Sweet find!

Excellent Save...as long as you don't get frostbite working on her!

The heat works great and it has a woodstove! So far pretty toasty while working.

Gotta' love those wood burners! Just wish I could find a place in mine to reinstall the one that came with it. Might oughta' swap it for one a little smaller.
