| Looks in the picture that there aren't many rust issues. Great find.  The air unit is the bomb. |

| Thanks guys....the bus is actually in decent shape....only found 4 places where it is rusted through.....about the size of a quarter(all 4 places)...and a big dent on the front nose area....the kid i got it from started off saying it was a '71-- when we picked it up he was saying it was a '76--when we got it home and started looking it over we found the sticker where it says it's a '74....now to find a tranny for it and get the type 4 fixed up for it and i can be cruizin' around town.....plans are to lower(not slam)--fix the dents and dings....fix the rusted places....and repaint it-----but,for now i just want to get it moving under it own power--then all the rest a little at a time Johnny

Strange, it looks like the "later bay" (1972+) turn signals and tail lights. I could be wrong. Either way, Get it Rollin'  |

| What a good find. I just found a 1970 near my house in about the same condition as yours, but with no engine. But the 60+year old man is using it as a storage and has no intention of selling it. Put some blak primer, crome rims and slam it. OHHH and 5% window tints.  |

| Question for the Bay or Bus guys...... How can you mount a type 1 tranny into a bus that had a type 4 tranny in it without changing the bell housing ?? Does someone sell a mounting bracket for that little problem ?? Reason I'm asking is because I'm going to use a type 1 for now until I can get the type 4 running.

| Finally got a couple things done on the Bay... Joe got most of the dent out of the front of it..... Nothing a hammer and block of wood couldn't handle......  Cleaned out all the trash and junk that was in it....  And the best part is that we got a tranny put in today... Now to wait on a freind to bring me some axles for it...... Then we can put something in to make it move on its own..... [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img]

| In the first pic you can see how bad the dent was on the front....in the second pic you can see an improvement.... [img]  [/img] [img]  [/img] I spent all afternoon getting this A/C stuff out-off and fromm under the bay...talk about a PIA... [img]  [/img] Tomorrow I'll have to figure out how to get the wiring for the A/C out without breaking out the wire cutters... [img]  [/img] Damn it's dirty under a bus.....more later...
