Hi people!!
As the heading says, im chasing some pics of '68 bays, preferably modified :thumb. Ive done a search but havent come up with much at all apart from the sad burnt bus from yesturday :o

Im chasing the differences (body and running gear) they have over latter busses, other than the obvious lights, bumpers, drum brakes, upright engine...!

Are latter bay goodies (brake, suspension) interchangeable!?

Cheers
Scott

Here's my 69 bay
It's virtually indentical to a 68 except for a couple of minor things like the front belly pan shape, and some other weird little things I can't remember.........




I need to take some more up to date pics........
Here's some more other earlies.......

Late bay beams do not fit early bays, they have a different bolt pattern where the baem bolts on to the body. But I can't see why you can't use the later suspension from the beam out, ie; spindles and disks etc.
This is why the splitty boys love them, they are the only balljoint front ends that bolt in!
The back should be easy (i guess, never done it but the rear brakes should swap over easy)
You would have to use a later model master cylinder too........:thumb
