Yep. Bridges, skyscrapers, ships, airplanes, they were used in a bunch of stuff. (Still used in airplanes.)



Here's an old railroad bridge in Durham that I snapped a picture of awhile back..

-Sorry about technical terms.

Yes, MuddaEarth had the gf/wife/main squeeze doing that.

Those I'm guessing they also used a lot of fire on the back side to help the blobbing.

I think it's because it's a Ward. Don't have those around here and his first was a shorty. Caddy has two shorties and these two are in cahoots all the time.

I've never owned a shorty till last week dude. I think you've gotten confused.

Apparently!! I thought you started with a shortie and just bought a long bus.

Nope- first was a 40' Thomas with a Ford gasser and 545, total dog. Sold it when the code violations stacked up.

10 years or more pass by and I got a 92 Senator/AmTran. Love it even though its crusty. Its got a lot of great features, bells and whistles.

Picked up a short bus last week to pull the landscaping equipment I use three days a week and to take on trips around the state on weekends. A "field trip/work bus".
I don't even have to pull any seats or do anything to it to be legal. It can be enjoyed as-is!

There we go... gasser = shortie why in the hell would anyone put a gasser in a 40 ft bus?!??! And Senator, what the hell is that? Not Blue Bird, not International, not Thomas so it's either one of them weird West Coast bus like the Gilling (sp) or a short bus.

The seats are staying or already out? If staying, are you hauling around employees? I don't know even MD laws but I could see them being a bunch of douchenoodles if you got in a wreck without a CDL simply because an employee got hurt. FL isn't as retarded with stuff but still.

Its my personal vehicle, insured as such.
If it seated 15 or more i'd need a cdl in FL.
Employees?? LOL I'm self employed and work for a buddy a few days a week. My dog may go to work with me on occasion.
Senator was a model build by Ward in the early 90's. They were bought by International and renamed as the AmTran Genesis.

The 40' gasser was free. I wouldn't take another.

If it is as clean as it looks in the pics and has no issues I don't think the price is out of line.

I picked up one of similar spec but a few more miles (128k) for $2500 last October. I recently saw bidding on one go over $6000 on Ebay.

A Ford with a 6.0L diesel is not bargain no matter how low the price might be.

A Chevy/GMC of nearly the same vintage with a 6.0L gas is going to get about 1 MPG less, have about the same amount of go, and it won't have the added aggravation of a diesel engine.

If youre RICH or an ace mechanic the 6.0 Ford may be just the thing for you. Not so much for the rest of us.
I know guys who've lost tens of thousands on those engines.

I'd pay more for an older one with a 7.3

A GM 6.0 is a great engine!!! Our work truck has one and its survived 250,000 miles of solid abuse.
