I have seen the one in Findlay in person and have pictures if you want them. It is very solid and well worth the price. I have dealt with this guy on a couple of occasions and have hauled two vanagons from his property. I have emailed a couple times about this bay with no response. I don't know what is going on there. Let me know if you want the pictures.

No problem Randy........... Sitting outside in dirt with no covering etc, they tend to deteriorate rapidly..........

Get ahold of Ken in Lorain and go check out Nelson's bus. I don't know what he wants for it, but I know it runs well and is complete. Yes, it's an auto. I don't think it would take a whole lot to make it nice for the Mrs.

If ya rigged a new ramp to the hinge you could roll kegs into it, or roll out of bed.

Jim (hosedrag_r) is now the new owner of Nelson's bus. Jim and his buddy Tom picked it up today with a tow dolley but later decided to drive it home instead. He is planning to put a Westy interior in it for his wife. It will be a nice compliment his 67 Danbury (?) Camper. Looking forward to seeing them both at future campouts.

I got in trouble when I stopped at the wife's work when I got back... You see Nelson Had Black and Yellow seat covers (steelers) and her being a die-hard Browns fan, This is what she noticed.......... worn seats or not they have been taken off........ The wind and heavy rain made the 105 mile trip a little touchy but the bus made it....... I big THANKS to Ken for his help....... okay the list starts....... need turn signal switch complete, my left arm is still wet from the trip, making them proper signals........ the work starts and the wife can be HAPPY...
