Re: Whitey The Toy Hauler

That is one FINE looking bus.

Is the bathroom a wet bath, that is the toilet is in the shower stall, or is it just a 1/2 bath?

That rear garage is finished out so nice I was wondering if you...

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

It's been a while since we've heard from Ol Trunt. I hope he's just been too busy working on his bus to post anything. His project was an ambitious one yet it was coming along nicely. I'd been...

Re: 1983 GMC Ward 66 passenger (Bigasspimp Mobile)

I've always thought those air flaps were an intake scoop for a vent located by the driver. Could also be a fresh air intake for the front heaters, like what would normally be hidden under the cowl...

Re: 1983 GMC Ward 66 passenger (Bigasspimp Mobile)

It might be worthwhile to post some pics of that door, even if it was a sloppy install. Someone here with experience might have suggestions on how to salvage it so you don't have to tear it off and...

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

The design is amazing and way more complicated than I would even think of trying to build, yet I am sure it will work. That said, I am curious about the motor taking up part of the step well. Any...

Re: 502 Paintball Mobile Bunkhouse

I'd like to see some pics of the old bus as well as the new upgrade.

Re: Tourtech Bus - 1997 International 3800

Really cool idea. I've played keyboards with a number of local bands and thought of building a similar bus many times. What always discouraged me was the fact that I would end up paying for...

Re: 1983 GMC Ward 66 passenger (Bigasspimp Mobile)

If possible, I'd like to see some photos of how the previous owner installed that RV door. It looks like another nice piece of work that you don't have to fool with and I have to assume some metal...

Re: 1983 GMC Ward 66 passenger (Bigasspimp Mobile)

Your bus looks like a good find. While the previous owner's window skinning job left a lot to be desired, they did get a lot of work done for you. Since you were able to reuse the sheet metal I'd...

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

Having followed this thread form the beginning and seen your work, I have no doubt that genny with the relocated controls will start and run fine on the first try. If you told me the next phase was...

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

Trunt, it's been a while since I checked on this project. Last time I did you were planning that pop top and I'll admit that my heart sank. I thought it would be ugly and ruin the lines of that...

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

Thanks for filling me in on the extensive backstory. Its quite a project, but since you seem to have the skills, tools, and most importantly the time to work on it, I know it will turn out great.

Re: 1935 Chevy school bus

This has been a great thread to read, and great pics too. I have a few questions though because it all starts out with the project well under way.

I assume you started with a 35 Chevy skoolie and...

Re: 1974 Model 05 Silver Eagle

I sometimes stay at campgrounds which don't have a dump station, and while there may be one in the area, it is too far to travel or roads are too rough if towing one of those blue tote or turd tanks....

Re: 1974 Model 05 Silver Eagle

I've seen Jake's macerator/disposal design and like it a lot because it is clever and cheap. While he says the pump head is good, I think he just pumps a long distance over flat ground, so in a...

Re: 1974 Model 05 Silver Eagle

Pretty sad that those predatory lease programs seem to be going strong. Word has been out for a while how they are all scams. I'm surprised anyone is still falling for them. Sounds as if you stay...

Re: 1974 Model 05 Silver Eagle

It's been a while since I checked on this thread. Pretty cool that you bought some land outside of town and can dry camp there legally. I'd like some details on how you are hauling in your fresh...

Re: Fear Fair Prison Party Bus

I'm really surprised there is a toilet on that bus. An ex-con I worked with long ago told me about a ride he had on a prison bus. One man per seat, with one ankle chained to the leg of his seat. ...

Re: 1974 Model 05 Silver Eagle

Now in the first post you said you weren't any good at building stuff, but your bathroom photos say otherwise. Looks fantastic, with a real bath tub even! Amazing.

I like catalytic heaters but...

Skoolie sighting near Cincinnati

Driving home from work yesterday (10/03/11) I saw a skoolie heading north on 275. Mostly original yellow with many windows blanked out with what looked like white metal panels, and a window air...

Re: 1974 Model 05 Silver Eagle

I like the studio apartment concept. For safety though, not to mention legalities, you really need to get that propane tank outside. Should be easy enough to install it in one of the baggage bays...

Skoolie sighting - Buffet Bound in Cincinnati

While driving home from work last night I passed a short (maybe 8 window bays) skoolie that was obviously on its way to the Jimmy Buffet concert at Riverbend. "Buffet Bound" was just one of the...

Re: First Timer, 1983 GMC Conversion

The stove is awesome. Looks like a ski lodge in there. Regarding the lack of fresh water and grey water tanks, I guess the original owner had it hooked up to a septic tank or sewer and some...

Re: 1964 Bristol Lodekka- Double Decker Bus

Re: Purplehaze project

I'll let someone else advise you on the diesel engine itself, but you may consider draining or siphoning out the fuel tank and starting with fresh. Maybe blow out the fuel lines with compressed air...
