HI rick its got  8v71n 34,000mi on a rebuild did 4 yrs ago, it has a 740 trans, and the a/c was changed over to 134a about 2yrs ago, 375,000 on the odo, those pics before were the nice ones now ill post some of the other ones. 

the first pic is were it felt kinds raised up like there is rust under the vinal right were the window piller meets the dash, the rest of the dash feels good.

the sec pic is the first bay the only rust I could find was light surface rust on the latch, im sure some ospho and a repaint will fix that.

the first pic is the drivers area no rust and all the buttons and switches  work, no jake brake tho.

the sec pic is the cabin no leaks and the floor is nice and solid, all the lights work, everything back there works

[reelnative]

first pic is the center bay its about the same as the first with only surface rust on the lach.

the rear bay has a bit of rust behind the lach were the metal with the holes comes down, it looks like I could grind that off and ospho and repaint ?

the first pic is the front area of the pass side of the drive axle, all weel wells look like they have a fiberglass cover inside thats covered with undercoating, unless the tire rubbed then some of the coating is gone.

sec pic is the drivers side frnt axle area, only sone surface rust were the undercoating has come off.

[reelnative]

I think that last pic was of the back weel well not the front.

first pic os of the bay from other side.

sec pic center bay from driver side

Looks like a nice straight bus, pretty clean   The dash does not look bad. I have some pictures of an MCI dash that looks bad, lol not mine though, Its a GMC they don't rust,  

Your bays look nice too!

first pic is front bay from drivers side.

sec pic is of the 871

[bevans6]

From what I see it looks a nice bus.  If there is rust, it will be behind the walls above the stainless belt line, and behind the front skin under the windshields, from what I have been able to gather.  But what you can see looks very good, IMHO.
