Hidden away for about 15 years, but they spent about 6 hours waking it up, drain and clean the fuel system, add new fuel, new battery, did a little wiring repair and bled the brakes.

Don't forget the 5 mpg and maybe 55 mph top speed. Great motor home if you are not in a hurry and have plenty of gas money! And they all leak water.
ReplyDeleteUmm, That's a Chevy. A civilian I used to work with had a 45pax bus he converted into a camper he called his Welfairbago.
ReplyDeleteOh damn. It is indeed. I missed that pretty obviously. What's a 45pax bus?
Delete45 passenger school bus
DeleteAh, thanks!
DeleteGot one: you can get 7mpg out of it, in good conditions. 55 mph top speed is true. But I don't have any leaks. Solid steel roof and body. I think that is one of the advantages over other mobile homes, which always seem to have leaks.
ReplyDeleteLooks like you have the dreaded widowmaker split rims though.
ReplyDeletethe bus might, I don't. I just post the photos and tell the stories. And you might be right, 1972 was the last year for the split rim widowmakers by Budd, https://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2017/05/these-specific-rims-are-what-is-known.html
Deleteand Kelsey Hayes made them until 1976
