Big Tire Swap How's it look

[Paso One]

Last weekend I took the 47 MCI Courier out for a little spin with its new shoes.

I took the rear 1100 x 20 tires from my bus and put them on the rear of the MCI

Then I put the  1200 x 20 tires from Fishbowl Brians bus on the front.

Raised the bus nicely now I have 22.5 rims all the way around on My bus and the 47 has lots of tread.

I can not believe the get up and go this bus has with the 6 cyl Continental engine R6572

The less weight you add in the conversion, the more get up & go you'll keep.

Marble & granite look good, but carry a residual price . . .

Looks good with the 5 hole rims.

What color are you planning on for the bus?

The inside of the bus is completly finished.  It was a conversion done in the 60's  The PO used it as a hotel room for his work  ( Crane operator )  then as a camper when he retired.

Not sure what I'm going to do and when,  Currently it gets all the " hand me downs " from the parts buses that I have bought over the years.

Brians bus was robbed of conversion pieces for my project and what wasn't used the 47 gets upgrades.

I am currently up grading the 47 on the side mainly to save it I'm sure you know what that is all about Kyle .

I understand saving cool classics.   

I ain't got that much experience when it comes to taking them for a spin . . . .

Thanks for the invite Mark  also for the privilage to park in BOTN personal spot

But maybe I should park closer to your MCI so there is no ground shock and leave room for Bob.

We could hide the Prevoo in between....

Have a great day!

I'm waiting for the covered shelter with full length pit.  We should have been parked there a month ago - could be shopping for a replacement now.
