I wonder when brazing repair panels was the rage? I'm thinking the 70s or 80's.

My 70' bus had several brazed repairs done to it. You're right, it's a pain to remove it all.

Keep up the good work!

if that is a partial restore, wonder what a full restoration looks like?

No kidding. I guess that makes mine a half-azzed restore, or maybe 1/4 azzed if i'm generous

The Flintstone family would feel right at home driving that bus. Good job getting that heat pipe out of the way. Did you get the upper heat pipe loose too?

No. But I will likely remove it while changing the dash. Will make it easier to remove a few dents from the nose also.

Blizzard today so stayed in the house and played around with a camper design. I decided to design my own but make it look period.

I have been slowly creating an acute 3D model to help. Most of the interior is within 2 mm. I need to confirm some of the dimensions.

So this is what I am thinking. I tried a 54x75 bed but It didn't leave enough cabinet space so went with 48x72. The left front cabinet will have a propane burner. Right front will be a fridge and hold a water tank behind.

I will likely start a new thread for this once I get a little farther along.

Had a few minutes so tried making a seal chanel. Worked quite well. I will make another just slightly narrower and will cut the notch before bending.

i would want a longer bed, even if it is just a 48x75. I would make the bulkhead cabinets less deep to allow for a longer bed. maybe make them a little taller?

I would give up the fridge completely and use a portable icebox. a good one. 5 bucks worth of ice will keep a lot of stuff icecold for a long time, and you can put it outside when you are parked.

I agree with the bed. I want to be able to sit on the front seat with bed down though. I have shortened the right front cabinet and front seat so should be good with 75... Will need to work on the bed frame to get the extra length.

Fridge is a must. Great for day trips and traveling. I will built it with a stainless liner and electronic cooler so it can be quite compact. Will have a AGM battery to keep it going overnight.

It arrived Smile

Duel circuit brakes is a surprise. Didn't know they came with them that early.
I haven't seen any sign of reverse lights. Will look tomorrow for any evidence they may have been there.

Ok so the US equipment is a generic list including 67.

It all fits with what I have though I thought it originally had a 1500.

You can see if it was a 1500cc Bus but checking for an air cleaner hanger welded onto the top of the engine compartment.
On the right side as you face the engine.

Example of 1964 1500cc engine with 1500cc air cleaner on right side:

There is a bracket on the right and it is spot welded on... So a 64 1200 wouldn't have this bracket?

Blasted for the front floor today. Got a bunch of patches ready to weld in over the past week.

Before I weld these three vertical holes in... they are not factory are they?

Correct, 1200s have an air cleaner on the left side that mounts to the fan shroud instead.

Then the birth certificate is wrong or is it possible the bracket was installed and not used?
