Not posted on here before but thought I’d introduce myself, this is my 69 bus I bought a couple of years ago as a bit of an ongoing project, we were at Stanford hall last year last minute thanks to clem

Correct grey hubcaps and correct grey sliding door hinge!
Sadly there’s not alot of original things on my bus, it was imported from California in 2008 in its original Pearl white, then someone resprayed it niagra blue, then 2012 the engine set on fire but that’s another story 😆

With all due respect Kirky, these vans / busses are well over fifty years old. There aren’t a lot of vans that are totally original. Mine is a bit like Triggers broom. Bought as a panel new then home converted then stored badly then bought and fitted a Westy interior, then I come along, and fit a new roof panel and new side panels ( windows) it’s been stock , it’s been lowered and right now it’s raised just a bit. I’ve had three interiors in there and I’m working on another right now. But he’s still chugging along:)

Ozziedog, ,,,,,,, and we ve had a few motors too :cool::cool::cool:

Gotta love commercial hubcaps. I had a genuine set - which I sold some years back. Will probably never find another set (if I wanted to) - or at least at an honest price anyway!!

Were any of them 'campervans' when they left the factory?. 🤔🤙
