How the Hell is there not already a "showoff a picture of your bus" thread?

[dzl_]

Unless I somehow missed it, this forum is a unicorn in that its the only forum I've belonged to that doesn't have a mega-thread dedicated to pictures/showing off your bus.

Let's fix that.

Post your favorite picture or three of your bus or a bus you admire/covet.

I know pictures are kinda clunky on this website but lets try to keep them a reasonable size and correctly rotated (you can upload to imgur free and easy) and keep non-picture posts to a minimum!

[dzl_]

To start things off, I don't own a bus yet, but here are a couple of 'the ones who got away'. I still kick myself for not jumping on either of these (though in both cases it was the right decision to pass them up)


First up: 1990ish International 3800 Bluebird 5 Window, 21ft bumper to bumper, DT360





Next up, my favorite from the Sonoma auction: 2003 Ford E-350/450 Girardin, 5 window, 6.5ft width, 7.3L

I've got a bit of a thing for the 4x4 Short Buses as well:

All I can see is a blank post, if you uploaded a picture I'm not sure it worked, unless there is a problem on my end.

Tried a link from my website, guess that doesn't work.

Let's try this again.

Did your bus come with that rack thing on the back of the roof?

Do these pictures need to be pretty? I could post pics of my bus, but it would be like somebody posting a video of their open heart surgery on facebook.

Top picture is how it came. It was an activities bus. I'm going to mount 4 solar panels on it.

I've seen that skoolie somewhere in USA!

I had an 85 Thomas 40' CE on a Ford Chassis with a gasser. Never did get pics... digital cameras weren't as common then.
Years later I got this 1992 Ward Senator in KY-







Then I scored this sweet lil 1998 Amtran shorty from Aurora CO-



I love driving chicks around in a bus!


Picking up appliances in a shorty is a breeze if you have a lift. Sucks that they rattle so much!



After the 98 I landed this 2004 CE300 with higher hp DT and allison 2000.


I've removed SO MUCH of this stuff over the years-






This shorty even participated in our wedding!


Not a bus, but a skoolie... A good friend we made through this forum performed the ceremony. It was a SKOOLIE wedding all the way. Even had Another forum member driving the bus for me and the groomsmen!

Hopeful, but a lot depends on how much i get done on the bus before then. Right now the inside is just framed. I don't have plumbing, electrical, or hvac started yet. Plus we are prepping our house for sale so can't really commit to it just yet.

[EastCoastCB]

This one wasn't mine... but I had it for a year or so. Pulled the seats and did some maintenance.


Then I got my favorite bus yet... To me its a dream bus.

I suspect that's a common route number.

My attempt at a glass-bottomed skoolie:

Ah, you just couldn't live without that school bus yellow! Me either.
