The owner works offshore and doesn't do email at all. He's oing to pay me to do some basic cleanup and research. It was his randfather's bus, bought new off the lot. Manufacture date 06/70. It's under the carport at my office now. He didn't have a trailer so I ent and picked it up and we took it to the car wash and rinsed it own. He left to go to work this morning, won't be back for 2 or 3 eeks. I told him cleanup only on my part. We all know my record for ctually getting repair work completed. I'll be pulling the engine and re-pressure washing the engine ompartment. Also peeling up the stick-on flooring he thought was a good dea 5 years ago. Things like that. I already wired in a new flasher module. All the turn signals work. -ways only work when the key is on. Is that normal or do I need to dig nto the wiring under the dash? Only one parking lamp is working but that's probably issues with the iring in back that got burned. I also took off the trashed generic plastic wipers, got a set of ood RainX wipers, took those apart and put the blades in the original WF carriers that I found under a seat. Need to sand and clean up the rms though (the part on the bus that holds the blades/carriers), the river side j-hook is rusted up bad. New rubber brake lines and a rear hatch seal have been ordered. When 'm sure the drums aren't stuck/dragging I'll switch to the tow bar. ERIC: What's the number for the guy who does tent sewing? I showed im the repop tents at the various places like GoWesty and Bus-Boys ut we're thinking a blue Sunbrella material tent would look good over he paint job he has on it. If the cost doesn't go too high over the remade prices then he may go that way. Sunbrella material is available t Jo-Ann's for about $20/yd. The repop tents online range from $280 or cotton to $399 for a mildew/fade resistant acrylic blend What should be in the original Hazet tool pouch for 1970 models? His has n 8/11 open end wrench, pliers, the long double-ended lug nut socket, a hort single ended socket, the handle to operate the sockets, and a ear claw for the hub caps. What do others use for a pop-top seal? He has the expensive piece (the lap that seals over the luggage rack) but everybody seems to sell the eal for the top as a complete kit including the expensive seal and the urround seal. He just needs the long part that goes around the top. referably white because he has the one for the luggage carrier in hite. OK, that's all I can think of now. He nixed the idea of getting a '71 ront beam unless he can get hubs drilled to keep the bolt pattern the ame front and back. Has anyone seen a tow hitch for a '70 floating around cheap? Gerald
