1996 E-SuperDuty Bus
Been a while since I posted about anything (guess my Ford trucks have been too dependable) but I bought a 96 Shuttle bus today as a new project. It's going to be my enclosed Cobra replica Hauler. 460 powered. I'll attempt to post pictures when I pick it up later in the week. Should be a fun project and I may need a few suggestions and opinions. Until today I didn't realize that Ford built an E-SuperDuty in 1996.

Cool stuff dude!
What's in that Cobra. motor wise? Who made the original kit?
Your shuttle bus will make a great hauler. I'm guessing you'll modify the floor and rear to allow loading and securing during transport?

351 Cleveland in the old CMC kit I built around 1990.
Yes, I'll modify the floor and rear section.

Anyone know which Dana rear this thing has? According to the door tag, the ratio is 4.63.

Such endeavors always reminds me of the wisdom in the saying "where there's a will there's a way........!"

I need a good steering wheel with cruise control switches and an instrument cluster. Anyone know what if any other model interchanges?

The steering wheel seems to be consistent across the truck and van lines but idk what the gauges look like
