Anyone recognize this single cab from MD?
I purchased it last week on Hawkins Point Rd in Curtis Bay, MD from Rob Strain. Looks like its bounced around Samba classifieds over the last few years, as I have already learned that user shanemorgan scored it on a farm as a package deal with 2 other buses.
Rob got it from a guy who was in the military. He was from Perryville, MD.
Any help or info is very much appreciated. Thanks!

Have you considered simply starting with a nicer bus? I don't know what your skills are, but the race is easier if you can see the finish line. If you are not a runner, don't start off doing a marathon. |

Congrats again. Glad you scored the truck. If you need any metal or other parts please don't hesitate to ask. Im always up for helping out a friend and seeing another old split bus or truck get back up and going. _________________

Well that hinge plate really fought me! Broken off bolt, broken off easy out, so I just cut an access hole to get to the plate. Even with it off the car, loads of heat and PB it was a lost cause. I had some scrap steel the same gauge so I fabbed a bracket (temporary while I line stuff up). Eventually I'll buy lower a pillars on both side, but for now this gave me a door, and some protection from the elements.
Doors are opening and closing everywhere I go.

Well I bought it 10 days ago so there's lots on the "get" list
A good friend of mine is shipping them to me from NY though I have some minor patches to do around the windshield frame. Haven't decided whether I'll tape em in, cover with a tarp or sacrifice a new set of window seals that will just get cut out when I go into paint spring/summer. _________________ Shadetree Westy

Velvet green single cabs unite! Mine was not quite as rough when I started, but I still have loads to fix to make it good. Still managed to haul my tool to the new job with it. _________________ I will never lie, but sometimes the truth changes.

Ambitious project! I like it! I think I saw that on Craigslist (north of Baltimore maybe?) a few months back. Good luck! Need to see more of these on the road around here. |
