I have a 68 Ford "Crummy" it was a Forest Service crew truck. It has seats for 13 plus the driver. Looks about the same size as that 62. My wife wants to fix it up to pull our race trailer for the grandkids race cars. With 5 drivers and their parents and my wife and I, we could all go in the same rig.

That is the oddest slick conversion. Another local yard has a couple of tow trucks that would be fun to have. After Sam Fear said it nowit make sence. SHROT BUS, YEAH! Still would be fun.

While browsing cyber space came across couple links I found intersting.

Wish they would have posted few more pic's of the 1935.

Pictures of vintage Ford school buses

May want to browse the forum, also opening the pic will lead to additional pages.

Cool Bus Videos


Sorry, getting off topic but always felt these vintage coaches like the Flxible, Visicoach, Starliner, Clipper, would be great to convert for anyone in market for RV, topic of conversation at all the rest stops. Anyhow, hope this is no indication what rest of my day is going to be like, find waiting for it to warm up can take up majority of the morning.
