Bought another diesel

Well, I brought home another diesel vehicle last night. This one is not however, an MB diesel. Instead, the vehicle is 37 feet long, 8 feet wide, and 11 feet tall. It's powered by a Cummins 555T turbodiesel. What is it you may ask? One 1982 Thomas Transitliner diesel pusher bus, retired from the Texas A&M shuttle fleet. My plans are to convert this monstrosity to a class A motorhome.

What's the top speed on that thing? 0-60 time? Raced any 18-wheelers yet?

0-60 barely happens, as 60 mph is its top speed at current. I'll get that minor issue "fixed."

As soon as I have some to post. I tried to email a set to work, only to forget that a 10 meg email would be bounced.
