I'd rather use some Flatstock and an hour or so of your time to just raise the frame section already in your bus.
NOT saying that peice wont work, but I'd rather spend the $10 on a peice of flatbar and do it myself.

| I got one from him, looks very nice and fit great. Just cut out the old section out & welded the new one in. Then I even had my steering column cut so the steering wheel would stay the same height. |

I don't think George has imported any of those for many years.
Hit up Chris at slammedpanel.com He jut finished up a new box raise kit. Includes a new brake arm too. Real nice setup for a super clean install.
