Re: 1971 model 05 parts bus
I figured youd be pretty close wayne. All the systems look pretty complete....
Im thinking batteries fuel filters and top off the oil? And she'll fire up?
If engine is seized or something like that it will require a bit more $$$ to get it back lol

Re: 1971 model 05 parts bus
A lot depends on how long it has been sitting. It obviously needs batteries, but you need to check the condition of the cable connections, especially the ground connection above the batteries on the chassis. It will likely need to be primed to get the fuel flowing. Unless there is a mechanical fault, a 8V71 should get going again. I started one after it had set for 12 years, but it took a while to get it sorted out.

Re: 1971 model 05 parts bus
That bus has set there for at least a year. I only drove by it and did not stop and look. It does set low. I don't know if there is adjustment left. It should be a good parts bus.

Re: 1971 model 05 parts bus
Ok good to know. Silver siding looks decent in pictures. I agree it should be a good parts bus

Mason, if you do plan to stop by Wayne's place on the way back to Nebraska, I would love to meet you there. Hopefully we can get it coordinated.

Re: 1971 model 05 parts bus
Headed to Denver tomorrow. Hopefully we'll be there before noon.
Should be a good time ;)
Jim, best way to get in touch with me is text. I just texted Wayne letting him know. It should work out to meet at Wayne's place.
