It is tagged and titled, and I can get it for $500.00. Body looks great! Partially converted to a camper. Whatcha think? bus I need another vehicle like I need a third eyeball, but...!

I even have the manifold for ya........ | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | looks like a 1 ton best I can tell form the pictures.
If it's nice, and no rust it's worth 500.
Personally I would not buy it. What do you do with an old slow and under powered bus? I would be better off spending my money on a more useful truck.

If you don't buy it, please hook me up.
I have a weeks vacation the third week in September and the wife is working.
The trailer is ready to work.
The wife will learn about it when I get home.
Let me know and I'll have cash in my hand.
If this doesn't talk you in to buying it,
I don't know what will.
Buy it and sell to me at a small lost to you.
That is due to the value of these trucks going down all the time.

I'm pretty sure I'll end up with it, but I want to actually lay eyes on the real thing and check it out first. Nice thing is that it's only a few miles away and I have a buddy with a large tow truck (I might be able to get it home on my 18-1/2' car hauler for that short of a distance!) I'll once again have a 'Bolt after a two-year 'Bolt-free period... 2-Ton, you yuckster, you!

Any way a guy can find one complete, with the seats even ?
Just curious .........

It's definitely worth the cash, but I decided a bus was not in my immediate future plans. It's on craigslist here: http://oklahomacity.craigslist.org/car/395845773.html He wants $500 cash money.
