Seems like something I am in the middle of.

I guess I should spread it (weight) between the driveline and engine?

Figure this an Eagle 10. make sure the single axel can handle the weight. I guess I should talk to Sonny?

    Did they have to extend the body to make that work?  It kind of looks like it in that photo.

Looks like they added about 3 ft to it for the rear mounted radiator I wonder what they did to the rear cap not to take away from the Flx look

Cliff - looks like they added a 3' section to the shell between the back 2 small windows.

Looks like it has all the latest emission controls on a 60 year old vehicle.

 A 300 horse 454 would have been a good alternative and not need all the crap.>>>Dan

Does a 300 hp 454 come with a complete new chassis and running gear?

 They aren't needed, these babies are timeless.>>>Dan (If that's what your after, why bother with the body??)

The nice thing about having the most current polution controls, is the engines also are getting the best fuel mileage ever. I bet that Cummins will get around 12mpg. I don't think any type of gasoline engine could get that-plus the torque is way higher on the Diesel. Good Luck, TomC

looking at their web site, these guys are heavily into leasing and renting vintage vehicles for modern marketing programs, so in that case putting a totally new and reliable undercarriage beneath a vintage shell is a great thing to do.  Turn key, every time, all the time, not a single worry about will it start, will it stop or will it not delivery it's daily revenue...

Let me see, To each his own?  I guess they can do what ever they want.

I can't believe people would spend that kind of money on a old bus.

Must be some kind of mental illness.
