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.

 

Looking forward to your photos and thoughts where to begin!

See if this works

 

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.

 

You probably have a dana 80. It's a dually isn't it?

 

Yes, thanks.

 

Dang, another east Texan redneck !! I grew up in Silsbee.

 

Yep, there goes the neighborhood!

 

We can feel the downhill slide all the way up here in the North!

 

Used to take my G/friend out to see the Bragg light, take her parkin in the woods up and down Village creek, those were the days !!!

 

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
