[QUOTE=jmadsen;14392454]Another not so oddball but still not one you would see very often.

Someone better buy this one soon before I get any stupid ideas for a mobile parts storage vehicle... Although I sure could use it for that.

I sent the link to Panelman a few days ago but I guess he isn't buying any more projects?? Chicken.... someone triple dawg dare him..

also I noticed its advertised more than one place with more than 1 asking price so I'm sure someone could get it for less than what this add says.?

The Partridge Family called, they want their bus back.....LOL

Doesn't seem right, at least the B5M part.
B=Bus
5= Based on F5 chassis
M= 254 6 cylinder
1=1951
HM= Highland Park

Another oddball, looks like it was a panel truck that got converted to camper?

1947 ford motor home!!! FORD!! ORIGINAL !!

Ross (since it's in his neighborhood, kind of...) could make a sweet truckstock camper out of it, Of course he would have to fix the grill first!

That is way too cool! It seems like a lot of truck for a half ton chassis. Love to know the story on that one.

For $1500 I'd have to find the money to buy just because of the oddness.

Here is something I have never seen before. I wonder why they didn't produce them? Probably very expensive . . . made from the essence of lightning bugs?
