Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
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.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
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....

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
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.

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!
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?

Re: Rottenwood Garages C50 Hauler project about to begin!

Did you even think it would be this much fun? Cool, sure. Fun, yeah. But sometimes it's better than expected
