everything about the top is odd.

Looks like they grafted a Riviera top (I recognize that part) on to a westy top. Why ? Not for looks, maybe to give an extra "hidden compartment" :wink: Or maybe they couldn't commit to a full high top :D

Not a '71 either?!
Called me a moron too, for trying to discuss it with him.
10000 for a project too.
Maybe it is a '71 and someone took all the good stuff like the front end with the nice brake system, and screwed round reflectors on. Or wheel adapter plates.
What do ya think? Any one from Arizona?

68 for sure, and a nice clean looking truck with double chest doors, sweet. Almost worth it if it's as solid and straight as it looks.

Hopefully it doesn't need a steering box, I know they are NLA and nothings better than NOS but WTF? OMG!

JC is a good guy to deal with. I have seen that bus (I am the guy who made the cash offer on the other one), and I do not believe that you will find any surprises as the pictures show all of the bad areas. BTW, that is a Marmot nest. I think he would take about half of that for it.

I'm with you on the honesty of the pictures. I looked at all the other stuff he was selling and could see he was a straight up guy. That's why I focused on the amount of work involved in bringing that bus back to life as apposed to the price. I hope someone can bring it back. 8)

Interesting--not too often you see the oil breather routed into the alternator.

What a minute...is this from the same Stuartzickefoose who continues to post unnecessarily in the whine forum? now, THAT is funny. I hope he's done a lot of work on it to warrant a markup of $2200.
