 Posted: Mon Aug 12, 2013 9:53 pm Post subject: Bobby's Bus-1969 Delivery Van |
 |
|
Well, we saved another bus today.  We actually found it at a swap meet. The people had a pic of it on a board with several other cars. We asked about it and got their info and we finally managed to go look at it today.
My husband calls it "Bobby's Bus" because he thinks it is his. Everyone knows that all the buses are mine. LOL Anyway, here are some pics.
Some of the stuff that was inside it.
I didn't notice this till we got home. It doesn't have wing windows.
It's missing the passenger side glass and rubber. Anyone know where to find non wing window glass and rubber??
As you can see it is kind of on the rough side, has rust here and there. Nothing that can't be fixed though. It's defenitly not an over night project though.
It's a 69 delivery van and according to the m plate is supposed to have dark beige leatherette interior. The paint code say's "primered".
Here are some of the other codes that came up. Looks like it had an upper partition at one time, if I'm reading that right.
"M-CODE Description Concerned models From chassis number To chassis number
055 Steering lock (1969) 211-274
2x9 300 000
500 Full width metal (half-height) partition between cabin and load compartment with 2-seater passenger seat 211-244
510 Partition upper between cab and load compartment (for vehicles with M 500 only) 211-216"
I'll be cleaning it out some more tomorrow and will take more pics.

Cool! A Euro delivered panel, look closely for hiding logos with that primer M code!

Trip! My son and I camped along the lower Truckee last spring. Didn't know there was a wrecker nearby. Nice score!  What's with the front end? Looks like the driver's side got a little...bent?
As far as glass goes, Continental Auto in Fresno has a sh**load of glass. Give them a call.

It must be that enhanced super sharp left turn radius!
All kidding aside, that thing is cool!

You need to Call Gerson at Klassicfab and get your floors in the works. He has the best metal but can take a while to get.
