Well....... you do like gassers....GMC/CHEVY..... I mean....that is a good thing!

Yes. Ideally with the 6.0 engine.
Btw how so you know that?
Mmmm you must be the one sending me flowers every Monday.
I never knew I had a secret admirer... Lol

How do I know??..under your name man!...LOL
"Chassis: GMC or Chevrolet, I hope Engine: gasser probably"

I'm wanting about the same. Hopefully with a 5 speed Spicer
6 - 7 or 8 window.

BTW..........My last bus..a 1989. Not gas unfortunately and too long for my tastes.

i found a dealership with these little buses, but . . . cant make myself spend the 15k on it.

Yeah...way too much!... Loads of that type around here in the 5K range... not that new, but some already half converted...many very clean.

I'm looking for the standard "BIG TRUCK" kind.......just short.

Most of the "big" gas ones here are old and rusty. But every now and then a good one pops up that's been kept clean and stored right for years.

Ok........ off to cut about 8 acres now that it's starting to cool off........Be beer o'clock when done.

CYA!

I'm looking for a GMC/Chevy powered with the 8.1L Vortec, if anyone comes across that.

Bare platform, even wrecked bodywork would be fine.

A few low mileage later model Chevy/GMC vans out in Cali auctioned for around 2-3 grand last year. THey had the 8.1's and low miles.

keep an eye out on govdeal, I've seen them come out of california

Apparently some were factory running on propane. Would make the half-million mile babies before the first rebuild.

350 hp and/or nearly 500 lb-ft of torque at 3400rpm, depends on the truck, the dumps and tankers geared way low.

But terrible mpg of course

 

[john61ct-SKO]

I don't think the "vans" would have the rear end suspension for 1500+ pounds ball weight.

But the 4500-7500 trucks were made for the heavy loads from the get go, just so pricey.

That's why I'm thinking the busses, maybe chop the rear body off, put in a utility flatbed with a gooseneck.

I’ve not seen the 8.1 full chassis busses.. I’ve seen the 8.1 gasser in the kodiak and topkick trucks. The busses show it was available just pretty rare.

I'm also seeing some shuttle style busses, handicapped transport etc, but very pricey.

New Jersey has skoolies but bad shape 200+K miles. But cheap enough could maybe drop $3K for a crate engine or rebuild.

Very hard to get GAWR info remotely.

6.0 would be my choice over the 8.1.
They're powerful, economical, and last forever.

I finally sold my full bird with 200k miles for $3,200. I am thinking this guy got his decimal point in the wrong place.

Even pulling a 14,000# trailer over the rockies?

Ideally I'd also be able to also load the tow vehicle down, but realize that may be unrealistic without going to diesel.
