That thing is awesome!! cant wait to see it moving around under its own power. Did the DT come with the bus?
no sir, i bought it the day after i bought the first bus lol

but the frame i got, had a dt466 in it, but i had to pull it in order to get the frame for free.

super short bus is headed to fresno this week, sometime.
on my bus, the next thing is to get the front end on, i need to drop it down on the bus and add another filler panel.
then to get my drivers seat all done, and get it running.

ive got 2 dt466's one in the 01 SD, and one in the bus.
ive also got a DT360 that i just may put in the 87 6 door should this engine fail.
