It also brings back some memories. When in high school I drove a bus for three years. This was in the mid 60's but we still had 55 models on the road. I've drove one like it many times.
Thanks for sharing and keep the pics coming. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 | That's looking very SWEET! Looking forward to more pics and can you tell me more about the rearend you're using? I plan on swapping mine next year and also putting in a TH400 trans too. Would like to know how well it rides. | | | | | Joined: May 2012 Posts: 23 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2012 Posts: 23 | The rear is a GM 10.5 14 bolt full float rear (drum brake)with a 67" WMS wheel mounting surface.The spring perches are 40" apart.8 lug x 6.25 mounting pattern.. also setup for a 1350 u joint.

Especially some "body shots". | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 | Yes, some more pics would be great. Or can we get access to view your photobucket album? I'm also going to be looking for the interior door pull. Mine is missing and really like the manual mechanism. Any ideas where I could find one? I have Superior body [sure wish my wife thought that ;)]. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | Hey Fred --- speaking of skoolie pix...any new ones of your rig? And I agree on the 55-57 "brows", makes for a great front end. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2008 Posts: 401 | | | | | | Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Mar 2011 Posts: 667 | Lookin' Good!
