This is my second round buying a gutted so23. Last time I spent forever looking for missing stuff. Should have kept this one

Those were 205/70's. Pure bitch to get in there. I wouldnt do that on a bus with a nice paint job without deflating the tires first or unbolting the axle.

I looked at pics of this bus a couple months ago. It wasn't cheap or alone.
It was more than I’ve spent in the past but it is super solid. Here are a couple of cheaper units still on the property.

Yepper !! :lol: Love seeing a fleet of Split Singles !!

When I see a Bus w/ hitch like ^^^^ that, I wonder , was it a one time bolt/weld it on to move from A to B, or was it a tow behind the RV deal... ??

In Canada usually a 'tow behind the tractor or combine deal'. A way to get home at the end of the day.

Originally picked up in NE Arkansas, my Single has a very similar setup. Farm country.

They used it as a platform to build their outbuildings on the farm. Probably towed it behind a tractor.

Any idea what the price is on the "cheaper units" ?

The owner was looking at $6-7k Cdn for each of them. They are apparently 59's although fried egg turn signals wouldn't be correct (may have been later add on). They were both dove blue at one time. They are in SK, Canada. Maybe someone on the forum has actually been to the site to see them?

SO4?

It's not mcoded as an so42 or anything else. Has a homemade camper interior. So I'm guessing the poptop was added. Has Los Angeles port code.

Love when this thread gets a bump....nice find

FYI- Sundial did offer a pop-top and they were from So Cal.

Not saying it is a Sundial, but that could be what it was at one time

Sundile poptops look a little slimmer and sharper lines in profile. This looks like a westy top. A little taller and rounded edges. I thought that at first too.

Are the front wheels wide-5 or some car hubcaps? Is it as unrusty and original painty-ness as it looks in the distance?

Sat Nov 18, 2017 11:12 am

Looks like 70's Ford pickup hubcaps
