Solid engine/transmission combination, professional roof-raise, 90% complete and ready for your finishing touches and style.
Specifically selected for the DT466E/MT643 combination, the bus is also equipped with a Klam Driveline Retarder courtesy of Littleton Public Schools. What's a Klam Driveline Retarder??? Magic, that's what. It uses magnetic eddying (yeah, really) to slow the vehicle without friction or heat buildup. Save your service brakes AND stop smoothly.
Appx 140k miles on the engine.
5/6 tires new as of 2021.
Mechanically evaluated by Allegiance Trucks Hudson (IC dealer/shop) in 2020.
Titled as a motorhome in FL. Coincidentally, FL is one of the best states for full-timers. Registered and insured through State Farm, so no unpleasant surprises when it's time to get on the road (legally)

I'm asking $60k based on the mechanical condition and systems of the base vehicle and the fact that I have already completed the majority of the heavy lifting- welding, bureaucracy, windows, tires, etc. The bus is currently very habitable and equally important, legally driveable and insurable in its present configuration. All that's left is trim, paint, flooring, and electrical.
