    well I ended up skipping the propane anyways. Unfortunately Ive got a gas bus right now, but once I get back up to Canada I'll fix that. Shes beautiful though, currently at the garage and then getting a new paint job afterwards. A 1963 Dodge 21'. I love the bodies on those old buses!

    HAHAHAH I had the same bus well 62 dodge..

    oooh man gas is going to kill you, its going to be a HUGE expense converting that to other metods..propane will be your cheapest bet to convert even if you replace the entire engin its going to be a hassel finding parts that connect with others on yiyur drive train
    I blew a differential on my 62 and spent three months driving all over ontario looking for a part that fits ....I know of a really good scrap yard out my dads in picton they have a shit load of buses from the 40s on....
    hope your journey goes well
    peace

    A long and a strange journey - made for a good read - brought back many memories of life on the road - thanks for letting me eavesdrop - Good luck on your path and remember what Ken said, "you are either on the bus or off the bus"

    Dudes, I know this is the wrong forum for this, but I'm actually kind of desperate here. I tried the find-a-ride board and digihitch.com, but I'm not very confident I'll get any results.
    I really need to get from the northwest to the northeast by october fifteenth on a budget of absolutely nothing to fulfill a promise to a pretty young girl.
    Can anybody help me out? <(^_^<) Please?
