We were wanting to do a deck on top of this bus but at the time (4 19 year old college students) funding became an issue post Katrina, material cost etc...
When I was in school me and some friends wanted to do this but figured it'd be cost prohibitive. How much was it just to get the ball rolling initially?
I'd love to do something with a short bus and then get some LSU fans to ride with me from Houston splitting the fuel costs.

We have seen T.U.B. We actually ran across their website before we purchased our bus (left to die at a flea market parking lot in Hammond, paid $500 for the bus, lol) They did a very good job and gave us a number of ideas.

Guy wanted $1,000 we offered $500 and it actually ran. Scariest ride of my life going from Hammond, LA to BR, LA, Backfiring about every mile or so.
First thing we did was take the seats out and paint the inside. We did everything ourselves except paint the exterior and we estimate the total cost to be somewhere between $7-$10,000 including Surround Sound, Generator, and A/c's

What are the box cabinets in the 2nd picture?
Posted on 7/8/08 at 12:55 pm to TNT Bus
I have always thought about doing this but I hear it is a nightmare to keep those old buses running?
Have ya'll had any major issues with it?
You can get the buses for cheap but all the ones i find require several thousand dollars in repairs/new tires.

The cabinets consist of 3/4 inch plywood for the doors and sides. We jig-sawed the LSU out on a template and then used it as a guide for our router. Behind the LSU is expanded metal that was spray painted John Deer Yellow. The cabinets were framed up with 4x4's and we then burnt all of the wood grains and applied a Brazilian Rosewood gel stain for a finish.

We purchased our bus from a church in Hammond. We have had pretty good luck with the engine so far. We make sure to crank it up often so the bus doesn't sit up. Flat tires suck, when one goes down we put the bus on blocks and go and get a re-tread (about 125$, new tire cost $500 roughly). We do baby the bus, no road trips etc... at 1-2 mpg why would you.

I've always wanted to buy an old short bus for road trips.

The T.U.B guys actually had their bus put on a flat bed truck and hauled to Bama last year. They stopped a few miles outside of town and drove it the rest of the way in.

That is nice and I'm jealous!
