yarnall Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 I cannot help you, but you should post it on the forum at justoldtrucks.com. That would be right up their alley. It is really neat.

rsb502 Posted March 9, 2014 Share Posted March 9, 2014 the trailer bus has actually been tried for years, the largest bus in the world was a trailer behind a daycab tractor in Egypt I think built by Thomas built buses back in the 80's, heres some pics. Oh and in Cuba theyre still going strong, all the commuter buses are trailers behind our old tractors. 1 Quote "Any Society that would give up a little LIBERTY to gain a little SECURITY will Deserve Neither and LOSE BOTH" -Benjamin Franklin"If your gonna be STUPID, you gotta be TOUGH" "You cant always get what you want, but if you try sometimes you get what you need" Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/34948-1942-ford-semi-trailer-bus/#findComment-236470 Share on other sites More sharing options...
