cutting up a bus..anyone need parts?
« on: May 01, 2012, 09:31:50 AM »
I picked up a 59 panel bus that is pretty rotten.  Anyone need parts?  I am planning to send this to the dump this week so speak up quickly.

Does it have the round spring steel shift rod bushing spring still in the front cross member? If so and it's usable I'm in desperate need for one on my barndoor.

dog legs are pretty rusty so I doubt they are useable.

I liked when the driveway was full of wrecks and you had the cut up baywindow on the front lawn!

I am not in the best part of town but it is a pretty good one.  Someone has to let the new immigrants see how we live in Canada.

engine tin area still there but the rear section is gone.  How much do you need and where?

Width to the wheel wells, and a inch or two behind the half moon shape, where the back engine tin seals too. I hope I am describing it right. Thank you for the quick reply. I could come and cut it, if you like.

 I would like to save the rear mounts, so its all one piece


Thanks,
Jeff
Bad pic sorry
