Hello friends. Requesting some help disassembling a bus for scrap.

Short Story:
I bought this bus this week for the engine. Engine would have cost $4300, and the whole running/driving bus cost just $4500, so I went for the bus. The engine will eventually put in my F550.

The Plan:
The body of the bus needs to be cut up and loaded into Pablo for hauling off to the scrap yard. Literally the whole body, all the way down so that the only thing left is the rolling chassis. All the demo tools. I expect it'll be a few different loads of scrap, so if we can load pablo once then stack the subsequent loads that I can move myself at a later date, that would be killer.

Might be a good idea to get my gantry crane over there to help disassemble. I'll work on that.

The Date+location:
November 22nd, starting maybe 10am
Ryan's house, where the bus currently lives

Post up if you can make it. Flexible on the dates past nov22nd, so if the crew wants some other date chime in.

Here are some pics of the victim:

I'm uninitiated here and will still be out of town on the 22nd, but gotta ask, what kind of engine could a bus with split rims have that would be an upgrade for the F550? I take it you're using it as a base build it?

International navistar dt360. Not a base, just an engine swap from the bus to my f550

It's crazy how far $5700 (not including the trailer) can go sometimes, lol.
