This is a very strange way to shorten a Bus. They used both cargo doors. One on each side. Almost looks like it might have been a DD.

Good call, looks like it could have been a DD. Be cool to see the m-codes for it.

I bet he took the extra door and used it on the drivers side for spacing to match the single door opening on the passenger side.

I like the paint over spray on the bulkhead panel, classy.

I do like the short busses that are one door shortened though... I'd roll it.

Inside top edge of the door looks like the seal holder channel. '67 walkthru, double door, 11 window bus.
