Hello from a Newbie here. I have a 1946 Chevy Wayne short bodied school bus I am hoping to track down some info on. Anyone here had any luck finding particulars on old Waynes? Like drawings, electrical or such? BTW...here is a pic of this old gal. Runs & drives but I am updating it with a little Cummins turbo-diesel and Alison automatic tranny.
Hello Thomas Ford...Negative on the BB. Used it to haul antiques and such. Raised the roof 19" then wound up selling it after almost ten years to a chap who wanted to build it out as a full-timer RV. This little darlin' will have a tiny living area in the front and room in the rear to haul some of my shop gear (I travel around the country teaching cement sculpting). I plan on doing the Art Deco look big time on the interior. Only seems right since the '42-46 trucks were known as the "Art Deco Series".
Thanks 80 Grit --- For an old gal she does seem to be a crowd pleaser. The hauler who brought her down from Utah said he had never gotten as much attention hauling a vehicle in his life. People honking and waving all the way and chats at every gas station that slowed his progress. She just seems to make folks smile...I think i like that.
And you are correct,there is probably more rust on the chassis of my '06 4Runner!Not bad considering that at 65, she is old enough to qualify for Medicare.
