Wow, to me nothing better than a high taillight, flat lid hatch top Cool . So, does anybody have an estimate on how many of these still exist, both campingbox and early SO23? Considering how slow this thread progresses, it doesn't seem like there are too many out there. Looks like around 20+ listed so far, but I bet there are more. I picked up the "live lightly" august of '57 from Greg and Clara, although the toasty rear hatch is now a wall hanger. Bus will be running under its own power next week after round one of metal work Shocked , but I will certainly be busy later this winter with round two.

Sweet to hear about the progress on that bus. Any updates for its thread?

How 'bout a pick of Greg/Clara's "Montana" bus, looking hot after extensive metal work:
