I am in negotiations to purchase a Wayne short bus. The truck has been out to pasture for at least 20 years, and has a really bad RV conversion to dispose of. The truck does not appear to have any rust. Its mostly complete, minus a few lenses for clearance lites and the right side mirror. The plan is to build a resto-rod. I have a 1993 Chevy van donor for the 5.7liter. The outside will go back to the original paint scheme. I have a ton of questions- should I keep the original running gear? Can I convert to single rear wheels? Where can I find parts for old bus bodies? Disc brakes? Suspension mods? Is it legal to drive a yellow bus? I've heard its not in some states.
