As long as a drawing can be done any part can be reproduced. I know of a few shop around me that would be able to reproduce the seats, not cheap, but it can be done. A truck bus aficionado would be able to pick apart a set of seats but the general public wouldn't be able to tell if you used seats from an early '70s bus. Up until the DOT came up with the newer bus seat designs I'd bet they didn't change much until the '80s.

That thing is awesome.

I wouldn't need the original seats. There wouldn't be room for them with all my camping equipment. I wonder how tall it would be with a set of canoes strapped on top?

If I had an extra 20k sitting around And if it was a 51 or 52 I would have to have it too!

Well actually if I had the extra 20k I would live with the monkey bus!

Of course I would be living in it if that were the case... after I had lost half of my stuff...

But if that $20K was "extra" it wouldn't cause a marital problem...

I think if ANY of us had the $20K to spend, that truck would be in a different thread already...

One more added to the list of cars/trucks I wish I'd have either gotten to first ($7500), or worse, wish I'd have pulled the trigger on instead of flinching. On some I felt like I should have surrendered my "man card" for passing on them. Stu

Just wait awhile, the price may end up around 7500 yet.

I like it, but for the money I'd rather have spent it on the Sanford truck
