I am pretty sure it is a 1962-1964 C-60 Chevrolet Bus with the 327 V8......it is a V8. I almost had it running within 2 days. She probably needed a new set of points and some new plugs. She spit and sputtered but never really took off. Haven't been back up there since last Thanksgiving when I bought it.
I've been thinking about doing a re-power so it would be powerful/comfortable to drive. Something like a Diesel Engine from a junked newer 1 ton truck. I've also thought about buying a newer school bus (they usually go cheap on eBay or at auctions) and just place the old body on one of those newer chassis with the newer diesel engine, power steering, and air brakes.
I haven't thought the gauges and other inside stuff would be hard to find, but haven't looked.....what else would there be?? Surely they make digital aftermarket gauges that would be universal. I was thinking the interior could use some of the original seats, then the rest could be totally custom with couches and a bar?? We could limo tint the side windows and paint it back original colors with some custom aftermarket exterior parts for the trucks of that bodystyle......if those would fit.
I know there will be a budget, BUT I don't think money will stop us from fixing it up right. :D

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
