$125 for a bumper? What kind of rip off artist are you, Sammie. I can get one 
from JCWhtney for about $23. It's actually for a Honda Accord, but it still 
will stick on with a little work. I mean, it's not original, but who is stupid 
enough to buy some old stuff when I can get a new one for almost nothing (plus 
shipping and handling and insurance and the installation kit and the 
instructions in Malay).

You old guys are just unreasonable.

  65 is slash front pointy rear.  Have brackets and blades I know for front.  
Not sure about any spare rear brackets.  I'll have to look.  Do you need 
everything for the front?  Have over riders and over ride bars for front also.  
Actually have quite a supply of extra front bumpers and bumper parts.  Would 
probably prefer that you come look at what I have and pick out what you think 
you can easily bring back to life.  For a complete front bumper with brackets 
that is reasonably restorable we are talking probably $100-$125 depending on 
condition.  Why don't you plan on a trip to Nac to look at what I have.

      Chuck:  I have some front bumpers, at least blades, that are repairable, 
both slash and pointy.  Don't know which you need since I don't remember the 
year model of the blue bus.  May have enough pieces to make a complete 
repairable bumper.

really nice piece.It's Karma that he even has a rebuildable engine with not

still have to get the turn signals going then it off to see the inspector.Most 
of what I've had to do is find and reassemble stuff and rearrange some 
wires.Most things are working including the instruments, dash lights,horn,rear 
dome light,The turn signals are not working and I don't have a license plate 
light yet.It looks like I'm going to have to pull the tranny and find out where 
the big CLANG is coming from.
          I am on the search for a horn button for the big steering wheel and 
some bumpers that are repairable.
        I think the Bus God is watching over Denis and probable laughing his 
asses off.

          I don't want to knock Bay busses, my best friends are Bay bus people, 
but you are not going to find anyone to trade a Split for a Bay.  Splits are 
getting extremely rare really quickly. The only way to get one for anything 
like a realistic price is to find a complete piece of s*** and restore it. Or 
have an idiot for a brother in law.

          Somebody, last week or so, left a '64 walkthrough panel at Wayout. It 
has small body metal spots and the floorboard under the driver and passenger is 
rusted through like Swiss cheese. The edge of the cargo door floor is rusted 
out, but that is about it for the body. It starts and stops and drives. It has 
head and tail lights, new glass all around. The owner wants $8500. That is too 
much for me, but I can see that it is probably not a bad price for a running 
bus.

          Good luck.
