WOW!!! That is just amazing. That is some incredible work. I have always wanted a bus like that. I will just live vicariously through you.

The builder also did a 51 Panel. 1951 Ford Panel | Dream Ride Builders
And a 54: 1954 Ford Pick Up Truck | Dream Ride Builders

Keep us informed of your progress, that is going to look amazing on the road.

When a kid I rode a don't know 48 -50 from new all the way to high school in 1960.
That V8 was there every day with out fail. So why not. Other than more ice inside the windows we always got there. Go EAB 239 or Mercury with aod. problem solved..
You got work how bout this: a 1949 Flxible. I rebuilt a Industrial Ft with Allison AT 540 so thats done. We do heavy truck repairs in this shop.
