I missed that last comment. Is your bus a camper?
That one got him going
If this turns out to be a Hi-Ace, I'm gonna be pissed

Let's be patient volks, he did say it would be a while before he could visit the bus in storage.
From his description I have my mon ey on a 64-67 Westfalia camper. Not a 54 or a barndoor, but very desireable and a whole lot more useable.

I wish he had answered my questions from memory as that would help but I'm with you Fig.....mid sixites splitty and I'm assuming you say Westfalia due to the vented windows he mentioned.....I hope it's not a cut and shut Fleetline after all this

Somehow I have the feeling that after all this hype, this is exactly what it is
