Gotta love them old corn binders! My dad built this one, his first bus build, back in the late 70's. He had a 5th wheel camper but wanted a motorhome but went into sticker shock when he went shopping. One of the neighbors had an old bus they stuck a few cabinets in and made a hunting rig and when my dad saw that, the light went on and one day he came driving in the yard with an old 68 international bus and proclaimed he was building a camper out of it. I thought ya right but when he got done it turned out really nice. Fast forward 40 years later and the thing is still in perfect condition except for the paint. The build inside is as tight as when he put it together, they are built like a tank! Its been coast to coast and country to country several times in its life so far. I ended up with it back in the 80's when he did his second one and we would stuff all 7 of our kids in it, (24' bumper to bumper), and hit the road, lots of memories in it for sure! It will run down the road 65 and we usually got around 10 mpg with it if we werent climbing hills. You will have fun with yours!
