I just saw pics of this from Jason G. last Thursday. He was almost as excited as I imagine you are! Is that from Los Osos? I been bugging Clark for 25 years and the answer was always a resounding"NO!". How did you get past the Missus? She was like a mother bear. Wouldn't even let me talk to him the last few years.
I think you'll find one of my business cards somewhere in there. I threw it in there so Randy would know I was poaching on him. That ranch is where the "Goat'el" and its parts bus came from. I have some pics of it out in the open I will scan.
Congrats! |
Yes, this is Clark's bus from Los Osos. It came up for sale two weeks ago and the word was getting out quick. Yes original to the area and the dealership. Chris, I will give you a call tomorrow. Yes please scan and share the photos.

welkom to the swr dubble cab team |
Thank you, I sold my last 61 double cab last year for my 56 23 window euro and last week a friend told me about this one. It will be a fun build. Here is a picture of the 23 window I need to start on as well.

Waiting for build thread pictures. 
Did anybody realise that you save it for its 60th birthday. What a nice present for this DC. Thank you!

Since those gate hooks are part of the bus's history, I'd definitely keep them and rock a tarp on that bad boy!

Sweet / I hope that’s a preservation build! And I hope there is a build thread. That will be a nice ride.
