GMC fishbowl versus the Flxible Newlook

[mikewarmblood]

Can anyone tell me what the undercarriage looks like on a fishbowl??  and is it true that there is much more framing on a Flxible than a Fishbowl and is a Flxible heavier than a fishbowl??  I have a Flxible Newlook but I would like to find a Fishbowl someday and want to know the differences between them thanks and also if anyone has a photo of the undercarriage of a fishbowl I would love to see it.. Thanks Mike.

Thanks so much!!!! I have been searching online for ever it seems and not finding pictures like that.  It breaks my heart to see buses like that,, but I am so grateful to see the undercarriage.  Much different than my Flxible.  Way different.   Thanks again.  Mike.

Depending on model, a GM New Look may have the fuel tank just aft of the front axle too.

Yes, flipped over makes picture taking a lot easier...

happy coaching!

Right.. My Flxible 1973 has the fuel tank just behind the front axle.  I don't know how but that bus has an 8v71 with a 2 speed and she will carry the mail. takes a long time to get her going and is a DOG!! up hills but does 75 without a problem and rides like a cadillac.  That is why I am thinking of getting a Fishbowl if I ever find one cause the ride should be as good as my Flx. There is more crap under my Flx than the fishbowl. So maybe more room for tanks and stuff. Any other info on either coach would be so appreciated.  I am in Missouri anyone know of a fishbowl or RTS that needs a little tlc and a new home around Missouri ?? let me know  Thanks Mike.
