Bought a bus!
Hello all,
I recently purchased a 73 int'l Loadstar that I am going to build into something fun! Got a great deal on it and will be doing the mechanical work to start.....Superior bus body, 345 V8 with auto trans....I know it does not move fast but I am a huge fan of old loadstars.......Seats are already gone and now I need to remove the backpack shelves from the ceiling. I appreciate all the info on this site and look forward to hearing from all of you as we go!
Jaymi

Nice bus. Mine is a 71. The old 345 are great engines, but do run a cool plug in it for all out highway driving.

Look for our build thread "our bus" here are a few outside and one of the kitchen.
Ours was automatic and I put a manual in, and went to bigger tires, 10R22.5. So comfortable cruise is 65 to 70.
