Well I finally got a Barn Door. Its a 55 panel it does need some work but its a great base to start with. My plans are to get it running asap and maybe put some drop spindles and SAK in the rear.

What a nice blast-from-the-past. I have pictures of this Van out in a field in Oklahoma back in 97/98. One of my big "whydidntIbuyit"-regrets... Good luck with a great looking van!

COOL BEANS Jorge! I'm glad you pulled the trigger and don't mind these fools up in here as refering it as the Cletus bus! I saw that bus when Brett owned it. Very nice solid bus. And from what I can see, Mr. Cletus was colling parts for it. Awesome! Have fun with it and don't listen to the MENTAL WARD Patients!! OKAY Wink

Thanks Bro The bus came with all the parts to get it going except an engine which isn't a big deal. Plans are to clean it up, get it running and enjoy the hell out off it. Very Happy

Removed i think- hence the section in the rear i would hazard a guess- i would have thought the bulkhead has been cut too if that has been removed?

BUT really nice find - would love something that dry Cool Cool- great paint too!!!
