 Posted: Sun Mar 03, 2013 1:17 am Post subject: 8 bus find and haul from Foreign Auto Parts in Eastland, Tx |
 |
|
Well just hauled home my biggest load of buses called The Eastland 8 from the name of the town here in Texas where they came from.
Projects and missing transaxles but just means there ready to be lowered.
3 pre-61 double door logo'd panels. 2 are from TipTop fried pies tagged bus 2&3. Been cool to have the company's bus 1 too.
(1) 1957 dd panel
(2) 1961 dd panels
(1) 1961 walkthru panel.
(1) 1962 panel
(1) 1965 standard
(2) 13w both wrecked hard but salvageable rust free
Very little rust now I know why people want southwestern buses.
I'll get some pics in the daylight and put them on photobucket.
So they are still waiting to be found.

Wow. Today in Bus Hauling History!
The DD panels are like those pictures with hidden images, it looks like extra vents but it's the logo's.
