I couldn't get a good description of the cargo hatch and the engine hatch. I
wondered why. I have had this problem before, they made busses with no overhang
that were not barndoor? What year was the last barndoor?

Well Denis: Sounds like you may have discovered something. The description
is of a barn door; but they didn't make barn doors in 56. Pictures, pictures,
pictures.

So, I took Murray and went to Sam's Club to get huge bags of grass seed for
the Psycobilly parking/camping area. As I am coming out, one of the two super
old guys who check your receipt to make sure that you don't have a 60" plasma
under the tomatoes says, "Are you a mechanic?"
I'm thinking, what about me would provoke such a question, and I say,
"Why?" He says, "We are trying to figure out how to convert a 1950 tractor from
6 volt to 8". Putting aside the fact that I have never heard of 8 volt
anything, I suggested that there were probably about a million antique tractor
guys on the internet. They both looked at me as if I had spoken Navajo. I said
go to a library and they would do the search for him.
I loaded up Murray and as I was leaving the parking lot I drove by the door
and one of the guys waves at me to stop. I do. He says, "I have one of these".
I say really? "Yeah, It's older though, and not as nice."
He tells me that it is a '56. I asked him if it has an overhang over the
windshield. "No, and it also has a bigger door in the back, over the engine
door. It has a little bitty engine".
Of course, my next question was, "Wanna sell it?"
"No."
I know his name and I know where he works. If I can find out where he lives
and where his bus is. I might have to kill him.
