Wow...sweet pictures man....That suburban/bus is awesome !!!

I think you probably should blow some of that stuff out of the engine bay before you try and fire it up

Looks like he has alot of good parts out there....nice weather too.....

It's POURING rain here in Cali....

Forget the crewcab...I'd roll that thing !!!

Then again...that hottub in back of the panel would be cool with the chicks !!!!

yeah the bus is my bro-in-law's.....he lives in Alaska and has wanted to take it up there for years. It ran when it was parked, just needed a starter, been a few years though.

we are having some pretty good weather, close to 50* today....supposed to be in the 70's this week.

the panel was the father-in-law's
hopefully it is next in line for us after the '66

4dranch · 02-16-2009, 12:14 AM

Nice pictures Joe,
Lots of parts, so what's the hold up on yours

what was the 305 in, the school bus?
really nice and clean 4x4 your uncle has.

protrash64 · 02-16-2009, 12:24 AM

Are you gonna build the panel as an old school Pro streeter since it's already tubbed?

Seriously, that is some cool pics. Looks like your uncle has several parts trucks sitting around.

jason65 · 02-16-2009, 08:57 AM

You should slam the school bus down on its rockers and daily drive it. Mabey even a sticker on it that says short bus so Rocka and I could ride in it. You should talk him out of it.

protrash64 · 02-16-2009, 10:40 AM

Hey Joe, what is the hose/panel deal on the driverside inner fender on that bus? Get a good side shot of it and jonzcustoms can start photoshopping it.

Also, whats up with the cab thats all cut up?

MacAttack · 02-16-2009, 11:14 AM

Man, I’ve heard that ‘Going Green’ is the latest trend - but I think I’ll be satisfied with the 12-14 mpg via my 2-barrel on my newly rebuilt engine, versus having to cover my intake manifold in tree droppings.

That’s about as gross as the ‘Tree Hugger’ girls that never bother shave.

that is a washer fluid bag i believe

the red cab? that is rust, it matches the rotted out red step bed, he has a matching rotted out front clip also

it was on his K10 when he got it

kizer · 02-17-2009, 03:36 PM

Dont let Dino see this thread. Next thing he will want to add a school bus to his heard.

Man that bus is killer. You could seriously through a cool party in that thing. Hell like said its already got a tub. I'm not really sure about all that green under the hood. What the heck where they growing? Bad Hemp experiment or something?

the front strap is the one that broke, so the rear one caught the cab.
and luckily I had the cab forward on the trailer or it could have ended badly.

kizer · 02-17-2009, 07:44 PM

Wow thats like putting an elephant on roller skates on the back of a flat bed. Man I think I would of at least threw in some 4x4 posts or something around that cab.

Then again I might as well threw my entire truck on that flat bed.

joe231 · 02-18-2009, 12:53 AM

i'll just use chains on the trip back.....our straps are getting too worn to be safe.
live and learn

jason65 · 02-18-2009, 08:25 AM

When ya supposed to have it back?

joe231 · 02-18-2009, 08:36 AM

sometime this week....
what about yours?

4dranch · 02-18-2009, 08:41 AM

Joe,
Are you just having yours blasted or are you having the complete overhaul done like Jason?

Who knows. A month ago it was supposed to be done feb 19. Theres still no paint on it and it's spread over 4 bays. Always 1 more week. You got your new rockers yet?

joe231 · 02-18-2009, 08:53 AM

Jason, i hear ya,
I already have a pair of GM outer rocker that i scored awhile back

cab is just getting blasted, we will have to prime it when we get it back, then evaluate it and make a list of patch panels.

gotta take our frame to the car-wash and clean it and the motor and trans up, then weld up a few things, strip it down and it will go to be blasted and powder coated.....
we are going to do all the paint/body work our self with the help of scotts62
