VintageBus.com Image Gallery - Rare Buses and Parts

Pix of rare cars, parts, and accessories. I tend to be fairly conservative as to what is considered "rare," as the term is very overused.

Here's another cooling system for single cabs in dusty climates. Unlike the Aus system of scooping air above the windscreens and ducting it under the load bed to the engine compartment, this sytem features "ear" scoops each side of the cab, with similar ducting under the load bed to the engine. Note how two cab rear panels have been used back-to-back to make a hollow duct for the cooling air. I have only seen this system on two pick-ups, both assembled in South Africa and both 1967 models. I don't know when single cabs were first assembled in SA, but earlier models were imported fully built up.

Towed 35 miles from Big Sur to her new home in Pacific Grove. Has no engine yet. Has not run in over a year. No brakes yet. She is a 57 kombi/panel combination double door. Her original color was the stock blue grey, which is what I aim to return her to. She is lowered a little in the front. steering is not that bad. transmission apparently OK.
