Thanks! I've been following your posts as well and like what you have going. I plan to take this bus to the upcoming starvation ranch gathering, maybe you could make that and we could have some good times. I also put on a camp out every year up here at Mt. Baker in the summer and we'd love to have you up here for that. :D

We have chatted before, this is one of my favourite buses ever. If you ever decide to/are forced to part with it please let me know, we'll keep it in Canada! FYI - My '55 just went to NB so there is a couple out there now...

I know, Terry called me as soon as the deal went down! I haven't seen it yet but very excited to have two 55's cruising around town. Good luck in finding another bus.

OK so this should open a can of worms..... So I have a 57 PG/SG 11 window microbus, the previous owner cut all 4 wheel wells and the bulkhead completely out. I dont have a bulkhead or the seats or brackets or anything to pt it back "right" but I do have a complete walk thru section seats and all out of a 61.

Would it be totally bogus to make my bus into a walk thru if I did a totally sanitary job with OG metal?????????????????

Thanks for your input

Only if you tried to pass it off as OG.

Personally I would swap the walkthrough stuff for the right bulkhead :wink:

I agree. They are very desirable models anymore and you are likely to get more money for one that is repaired correctly.
