I can tell you about mine.
'91 Thomas on a Ford 700 chassis. Has the 474 ci turbo diesel w/ a 5 speed.
When I bought it, it was 100% school bus, you know , yellow the whole deal.
It had 130K miles on it and I paid $2,200 for it. Bought it 5 yrs ago form used car dealer that bought it at auction. It was dirty but in great shape with a huge file of maintenance that was kept up on it. The thing drives tighter than my father in laws bazillion dollar motor coach! Since buying it I painted it, rearranged the interior with bunk beds, futon a couple dinettes etc.
Nothing fancy, comfortable and low maintenance. It is slow but I would drive it any where with out worrying about a break down. If you want picks let me know.
