I have to agree on the bus. It was used for 20 years for storage but I don't know how it made it this long. The old owner use to throw everything out in the yard he didn't use anymore including stuff his brother gave him, and everything else. Were still searching through stuff that's piled up.
This bus most people who looked at thought it would be a quick job but there's no such thing as quick job if you want it done right and in compliance with EPA laws and regulations that we have now. I would rather take my time then to rush and make a mistake, etc... My cousin tried it the quick way he found out quick how hard it is, broke the wheel lift and winch cable on the ramp truck (just took that truck off the road last year) and broke the hitch off the bus at the same time.
I like these older buses since I can use them for storage here at the yard since there built better then most new buses ive dealt with and can last twice as long as newer blue bird, Thomas, etc... But I mostly took this job since it was something different. 9 years doing this and still learning something new everyday at this site, but that's what keeps it interested living in the middle of nowhere with the closes town being 16 miles one way and the closes city 100 miles its hard to find anything to do.
