Detail by owner
1956 Scenicruiser conversion project never finished. My husband retired and was not able to finish this project. It has been parked in our son's huge mechanics shop for many years. It has been primed and painted white. It is 40ft long and the roof has been raised 18 inches. We put a good running 3406 Cat with Allison transmission in it and a rebuilt rear differential with a 3.36 gear ratio. It has new aluminum wheels, custom made Thermopane tinted windows and a basement room, 3 custom made tanks for fresh water, gray and black water. To many things to list. We have over $35,000 in this bus but will take $9,500. We have many more pictures upon request. We do not have pictures of the inside as it is just used for storage right now. It is all gutted out of original seats. Please do not ask for inside pictures as it is impossible to take any.
It is an unfinished project. The roof was raised 18"and re-skinned with heavier gauge steel for added strength. Exterior above aluminum is painted white. It has the most expensive parts with it like new polished aluminum wheels, power steering, good running 3406 Caterpillar motor, Allison HD740D automatic transmission, Hayden transmission cooler, re-manufactured rear differential with 3.36 gear ratio, new drive shaft with new U-Joints, Custom fabricated brackets to fit modern 30/30 service and parking brake chambers, 3 new custom holding tanks (in place not installed), new Thermo Pane custom tinted windows (over $4,000.00).The interior is gutted of all seats and is basically a shell with the wiring and service panel inside. To be driveable it needs transmission cooler and filter plumed (all included), engine/radiator fan (not included), electric transmission gear selector (not installed, is included) air throttle (not installed, is included). . .
The Tires are in good shape with legal tread, I saved them when I got out of the trucking business. Most air bags appear to be new, all are in good shape. It was indoors for 10 or more years and just put out this last year. beings it was taking up so much space I used it for storage. You should get a pretty good idea of the progress so far.
NO LONGER AVAILABLE
