If it is a gasoline engine it will be a Hall/Scott 501 or the International Red Diamond 450 to old for some of you younger guys to remember lol

I wonder if it is the same one I found awhile back in spokane craigslist http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=17496.0 (http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=17496.0) ? This has gotta be super rare
Title: A Very Old Crown Indeed

Might be a little bit over priced and a little bit too old to be a viable Bus Conversion project....unless one was really keen on spending a lot of time and money.

About 10 years ago, I paid $3000 for my 1974 Crown 10-wheeler, (VIN 37317) that had been practically rebuilt by the last school district.

Even then it became impractical to keep the Crown because of the expensive monthly running costs.  This Crown will require a lot of work.  HB of CJ (old coot)

I don't think a glass roof is a good idea for a motor home. Harder to mount stuff on, added heath, more leak-prone, you get the idea.
