I actually had no idea what bus body it was. Im glad someone else knew.

I am leaning toward Aluminum sheet metal. But Im considering using the sheet metal I recovered from the roof interior, everything is in great shape. I can save a lot of money doing this but the aluminum will be much lighter.

Almost all the metal I used in the lift so far was scrap. I had 1/8x1" angle iron from marine shipping pallets. I also gutted the seats and cut some of the 1" tube square and round pieces out of seats to make the jacks. Its a little ghetto but I am at 60 dollars cost for metal right now because of this. That 60 dollars was the 3/4 inch allthread, washers and nuts, for the Jacks/holders I made.

Im calling around tomorrow to price sheet metal so I can get it closed up.
