Back on all fours for awhile. Still have try and squeeze the back wheels on, bleed the brakes and align the front.

One spline from being topped out. No higher but it will go waaayyyy lower. I like it right where it is though.

That's where I have mine set as well. What size rims/tires are you running?

Those wheels and tires were meant for my 65 Panel but it`s so far from being done I am using on this for awhile. Tires are 185/55x15 on the front but the 205/65`s most likely will not fit on the back and i will probably need 185/65`s. Wheels are Flat Four/Enkie 5 spokes.

I pulled the old trans. getting ready to put the new one in (As soon as I get some gear oil). Have you seen the price of gear oil lately? Now searching for a good engine case for a nice motor build.

Hello! Your bus is a stunning example of what my bucket used to be.I had the road runner edition but after years of damage and sitting thebus got gross. So out with the road runner interior i am modifying the set up to be a nice woody interior. A couple jump seats (i need to draw up some plans to build the jumpers) and finally i need to build my rock n roll road runner bed but this time make it a full length bed since o removed my cabnent. Are you going to custom build the seat on yours? My hinges are complete but they are a strange design imo and ide like to know how well uou like it. Have you msde a bed out of yours? Is it a hassle? (mine i havent gotten the perfect fluid motion) up untill yesterday i thoughtful i hsd a unique one off but seeing our busses we def havehave road runners mine matches yours except i have a firewall tho when i swapped my gas tank it looked like a po might have put it in. I saved my road runner and its my daily driving mutation Smile

cheers john gates

Got the front seats done, new door panels, LeCarra wheel and berg shifter in while the motor is going together. Also new scrapers and seals as well as sound deadener in the front doors.
