Sounds like Bill Williamson in Victoria. At least with Bill, when you get to know him he is very cool. I bought my back slash deluxe bumper from him. You have to remove it yourself.

You might also check with James King in Conroe. If he doesn't have it, he can find it. You may pay more, but that's his business.

Can you get any parts from Don Carter? I had him

by I can see the rust
and weeds destroying all those busses.

Sharon:
Pointy bumpers are correct for the front on 65
through 67 split window
bus. These are about $150 per copy complete
for
an average bumper in a
swap meet. A perfect one probably could go for
$200-250. Wolfsburg West
was reproducing these things at a high dollar
for
a while. Can't believe
they don't have any. Use their catalog for a
price even if they don't
have any. Check around. The front pointy
bumper
is not that hard to
find. I have two complete ones and am willing
to
loan the better one to
you till you can find a replacement. Also, try
the Oakhill guys in
Longview and Lee Prayter in Tyler. Also, I
know
that Don Carter has some 
busses out there with front bumpers on them.

We have to turn in an estimate for parts on the

every other co is sold

are pointed on the end. Does anyone know of any
for sale or what they 
would
be worth if you could buy them? The price has
to
be very high if they 
don't
exist. I got $800 for my convertible one,
insurance co couldn't find a 
real
one any cheaper. I'm going crazy with this
stuff.
