weird split
Che Castro - March 4th, 2003 at 11:24 PM

hey check out this splitty, its an 11 window from outside, it has a sliding door??, a sunroof, and when u look at the inside pics the roof has the 21 window small windows except they blocked them out. I'm guessing it was a roof chop or something, but the door???

Sliding door was on option for a split
(I forget the M-code but I could look it
up)...only seems to be the later splits
(1964 - 67) that have them though.

All factory original sunroof busses have the skylight pressing inside - it acts as a strengthener for the roof. All factory original sunroof splits have belly pans too.

My barney sunroof has the skylight pressings and belly pans.....if they're not there then you have a non-orig sunroof!

Combination of sliding door and standard
model with sunroof would make this a fairly unique bus...

wow cool, never knew about that rob. I thought something weird was going on, is there any way to install the skylight windows from the pressings?
