Read back around post 57 thru 86 or so , it will all make perfect sense.

Now, this could be a whole "other" story ... This Cool Bus has the rear already lowered and the right nose. Just beggin' for a builder like yourself to create a Sweet ride. And that's a short bus I would ride in.

Barrett Jackson was really the initiator of all these folks thinking their $1500 junk in the garage is worth $15,000. They basically contributed to the car hobby being priced out of sight and unreachable for the "blue collar man"

"I saw one of these sell on Barrett Jackson for $150,000"

Did a little work this week......Long bed lifestyle!!!

Still cant figure out why these pics turn like this?!?!/

[72freak]

Its been a while and quite a few cool vehicles have sat on her deck....no telling how many school busses we have encountered!!

UPDATE: We did go ahead and swap out the rear HO72 for one out of a square body. It was time for drums and has some seal sealing issues. Out with the old....

fixed for ya. If you are using I phone or the like to take pictures and rotate them on the computer. I have been told you need to save them in a different folder than the original or they will rotate back to original settings. I use android so don't have an issue with it.

hello, new to the site. i was reading your thread and wondering if you had to modify the front of the chassis in any way, due to the shorter wheel base. i just picked my c50 up and been looking at frames and all my options to do this sort of build, but was thinking a normal 1969 frame wouldnt work, i have been told the front tires sit 6'' closer to the cab than on a standard c20. and just came across this thread and was wondering if you had to make any major mods to the frame?

[jerry.t]

very nice build, by the way

I set the cab on the C30 frame where the wheels were centered in the opening and extended the bed to fill in the gap. I also run single wheels up front as the dually wheels did not look right without spacers.

thanks, i wasnt sure if you could move the cab far enough forward to make up that distance. but guess so. that should make my build a bit easier than. keep up the good work and thanks for the reply
