    I love how it states "Just In & Being Appraised". Where exactly do you appraise something like this? Talk about a serious project.

    They also went with the old "corvette" style dash.

    The front suspension on these trucks are very stiff. The ones with "set back front axles" have longer leafs and are a little better but not much. The ride is not even comparible to the bus. Driveshaft ballance is probably a nightmare too.

    Lot of ambition there thats for sure.

    One of the unknowns is the impact vibrations will have on the structural integrity. I know first hand that almost anything can be destroyed using vibrations and Joe raises some interesting items to consider. If the driveshaft vibrations are of the correct frequency, the welds in the structure can easily be made to fail, and the owner would not know it until the failure was so severe as to become apparent. I wouldn't touch one of these home made conversions with a ten foot pole.

    If our coaches had any issues of that nature they would have shown up many years ago.
