    It has a good engine but currently no transmission.
    I could use one of my hydraulic motors like the one on my plate roll, but would want to add additional reduction to it however if I were to do that I could hook up the hyd pump to the steering as well to make it easier to steer. But I doubt if I will take the time to do any of this. Since I wont have to move it too many times it will be faster to just use the back hoe or my Ford pickup to move it around with.
    Later the bus chassis will the used as the chassis for my B755 Mack cab And I have a quadraplex transmission to install in it I'm a fan of 2 stick transmissions the engine is a 300 hp 5.9 truck Cumins not the dodge engine, I also have a 21 ft Fruehauf pup trailer that I am thinking about whacking the frame down a bit then mounting it on the chassis with a pair of under body dump cylinders that I have and mounting a 20,000 lb winch that I have, behind the cab and the rolling tailboard off of another bed that I have. I figure that I can make a fairly versatile 5 ton truck out of it
