Lowest early bay ???

[8adgerx]

I've asked this before with no real answers

I want info on the lowest and earliest bay, being the same vehicle lol, not the oldest not the lowest, but the oldest lowest bus.



Who owns??
Month of manufacture
Year of manufacture

Etc etc

Cheers all

I guess the Deluxe Drycleaning panel van must be close. It's a 68 and body dropped.

Is this yours? 8)

Non body dropped buses, I guess JTH's ex T2D bus was up there?

 

[8adgerx]

Yeah that's mine but it's just having its final lowering now
Massive notches and tubs
More engine raise and a gt box
Relocated fuel filler
And I'm building a new 1904 to push it along

I'm confused :? Does "body dropping" mean something else :shock:

 

[8adgerx]

Yep body dropping is cutting the body and welding it back to the chassis basically

This one has all the running gear raised into the body

 

[Myvanway]

Just partially body dropped then! :lol:

Im sure it'll look cool.... Get some pics up dude. 8)

Think your right Karlos, some buses should be left as is.
Not a fan of body drops either, Liked seeing Matt Balls's Late bay as it made me laugh.

You can go OTT, but each to there own I guess! Static.....Static.... :lol: 8)

 

[Myvanway]

Not sure of year and details (Ask Baz), but its fookin low!

8adgerx your bus looks cool and I am looking forward to seeing the new lows !

You should just claim the title for "Lowest of the early early bays" as yours and see if you get any challengers

 

[8adgerx]

cheers
I'd post some pics but I can't get tap talk working

 

[8adgerx]

I know baz's bus quite well and it touches the deck

My bus Modified: slammed, narrowed, tubbed and notched with a big engine etc BUT it can all be put back to stock fairly easily. A body drop is a permanent thing, loved the deluxe panel when Dean built it and when Matt & Lisa out their twist to it but not now.
