Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
Neat.
A local guy had an '80s Suburban that had been made for tours here in NH. It had two sets of extra doors. Neat to see but he got tired of driving it really quickly. Eventually he made a six door rollback out of it. Didn't get that much when he sold it. |

Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
We talked about these in a thread in January. Contrary to what the seller says I found that a company called Stageway (and others) would get the front clip and frame from GM, then do the body mods. GM's longest frame was a whopping 375" or 31 feet.
Other companies that were doing custom coach building were: The D.E.K. Manufacturing Company Orrville Ohio Alton Co. Pigeon Michigan, www.altonco.com. Holan A Division of the Ohio Brass Company Cleveland Ohio McCabe-Powers Body Company St. Louis MO. Montpelier Manufacturing Company of Montpelier, Ohio Proctor-Keefe Body Co., Inc. Detroit Michigan Crown Steel Products Co. & Orrville Metal Specialty Co. Orrville Ohio Automotive Industries Inc. Owendale, Michigan Armbruster (Stageway) & company, Inc Fort Smith Arkansas

Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
Dumb question because I missed the thread in Jan., but what would you use these for? The bottom one i can see as an ambulance or crew hauler but any bigger, why not just buy a short bus?

Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
That one was a school bus but many got built as airport shuttles or for national parks to haul people around.
I'd have to thing that truck was one step from the scrap pile before the seller picked it up for scrap price or not much more though.

Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
That is most likely a stageway conversion based on the roof rack. I researched the heck out of these when I had a chance to pick one up but passed on it. Anyone else notice the 57 fender badges on the only 56 made...lol

Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
There used to be one of these parked in a field on the highway going up to Crater Lake Or. It apparently was used as a shuttle bus. I could still see some hotel logo very faded on the driver door. I think the hotel was in Medford and used it to haul people back and forth to the lake. I don't remember the name of the hotel but it was in town since it wasn't anything like Crater Lake National Park Lodge wwhich was built as a WPA project. I've stayed in it but it was a long time ago, like 50 years. I remember seeing some stuff about a major remodel in progress there.

Re: got cash? 22 ft suburban
That thing was on eBay not that long ago. I was watching the auction and they couldn't get anyone to bid on it, at a starting bid of $1000. Here's a pic of the auction.
