The legs where worse then I thought of course so I had to get them patched up .

Currently both doglegs are finished . There is a small patch to do on the drivers side floor .

The "A" pillars were wasted also and needed replacments along with the inner and outer valences . Oh yea I forgot to mention Gerson is the greatest !

For those of you that enjoy stock buses you might want to close your eyes . The fried eggs had to go and a 2" steering box raise was also in order .

Thanks manny ,
I should have done this awhile ago . Now I'm bombing all these pictures in at once it's kind of a pain . I got a bunch more pictures to put in of the bed removal and the rockers and stuff but . I think I' ll resize them a bit smaller first .

Thanks.
These pictures were taken tonight . I was test fitting and trimming the front outrigger to make room for the new inner rocker also test fit the lowers "C" pillar to the new inner rocker .

Pass side outrigger and jackpoint from treasurechest .

Pass side outrigger and jack point from wheelwell . I should be able to save this rigger just a small patch above it .

Here are a few pics of the removed bed . The center of the bed was rotted through almost front to back 2 ft wide wasn't much to save there . The cab seperation panel was not rusty but smashed pretty bad . Hopfully Gerson will start making them soon . I'm sending Him the one out of this truck .

Nice work! I would have kept the turn signals. Rolling Eyes

still nice.

Nice work bud. Stay motivated!

I'm waiting for the day Gerson starts sending over "Build you own bus" kits. You start with an engine, wheels, and a big box of green panels. In a year you have a 2009 split window bus.

Signals are gone forever . I just don't like the fried eggs for this truck anyway .
It's going to get a narrowed adj. beam . It has a disc brake adj. ball joint beam in it now . I'd like to go back to LP beam .
I'm probably going to narrow the torsion housing in the rear so I can run type 1 short axles . It will give me more room getting the rear tires off . KCW's site explains how to do this and it seams to be a pretty straight forward modification . The truck already has a new type one tranny with bug long axles and notched spring plates .

Gerson is doing great work for these buses . If it wasn't for all the websites like this one and KCW's I would not atempt this big of a project . But with all the pictures and posts on the web for reference it feels like I've built 100 of these buses .

Glenn A · Posted: Sat Aug 30, 2008 8:42 pm Post subject:

I got the treasure chest floor out tonight . The fuel tank divider section is waisted . I have access to a brake So I'm going to try and fab up most of that tomorrow . I don't think Gerson is making that yet .

Can someone tell me what the threaded stud and the weldnut is for on the rear chassis cross brace ? It is pictured in the last picture . Most of this is missing on my bus and I have no idea what they are for ! Brick wall

The stud hanging down in the treasure chest area is for the spare tire carrier. It looks like a hairpin and fits into a slotted bracket on the other side

Wow major props to you ! That single cab was / is in need of a bunch of metal work. Looks like it you have it covered well though , keep up the good work and pics . I have a DC that needs most everything that your doing .
Oh and get a Tetnus shot ! Laughing

Thanks for feedback . It keeps me motivated .

Spent a few minutes on the SC over the weekend . got the rest of the floor out under the fueltank along with 2 hats that were rotted . There is some fine trimming of the floor left to do . But thats no fun . So I got to replacing one hat ,outrigger and rearcross brace . Kelly was out of stock on the other rigger .

Does anyone know what this stud is for ? It is on the rear cross member facing the back of the truck .
