AND you haven't seen my double cab yet. I'm still looking for a 68 donor bus to
get some repair panels from if anyone has one laying around.

Stuff just didn't fit, so I finally called Wolfgang, where I bought the
swing arm kit, and they told me that it required a '64 to '67 cable with
an inch cut off the spring and a brass tube about 2" long. I would have
died of old age before I would have figured out that combination. So, I just
ordered them made up and they arrived yesterday. YEA!

where people were somewhat impressed that he was going to survive smashing in to
a tree. There was an award for the bus most in need of restoration or repair. I
figured that we were a shoe in, but he didn't even make the top 3. There
were, at least, 3 other busses more in need of repair than the one who ran in to
a tree! One guy told me that I didn't win because he was already being
repaired, and another person said that Murray was in good hands and was clearly
coming back. The others might be lost causes.

started him and was going to drive through the campgrounds to show people how
good he still runs. The steering wheel was still a little to the left, so I
kinda yanked it to the right, and the bus stopped. Just stopped. I looked under
the ignition switch and found a bunch of disconnected wires. I went and got the
trailer and folks helped push him on.
