1955 BARNDOOR PANEL
Jan of 55, Vin #20-114468
Uknown logos
on side - any guesses?
This panel was pulled from an east coast
(closed to the public) junkyard where it had been sitting untouched since the 60's. It was
bought from the second owner (junkyard owner) who learned to drive with this bus. All he
did was drive it around the junkyard. Once he took it off the road, he put newspapers
soaked in oil in the cargo area which left it in nice condition. This bus
actually has 42k *original miles* on it although you can't tell from the photos. Just been
sitting in severe humidity for 30 years. The front end parts and pedal assembly's
and etc
are in good condition. Engine was changed to a 25hp bug engine at some point in time (why
would you downgrade to a less horsepower engine?)
The drivers rocker, drivers lower dogleg and a small portion of the driver floor next to
dogleg are rusty and will need to be replaced, as well as one of the jack points. Also the
lower nose and the section where the rear hatch screws to, is
rusted out. Bus
came with most all necessary replacement metal. Frame is solid and the bus is
almost complete except for a few items I am still seeking..

Traded my original Hazet toolkit for a complete Behr roof scoop assembly. Behr roof scoop is complete including all pieces. Even has the rubber strips still intact which direct the air flow from cabin to the back. Ambo fans are in working order. Has all badges and bulb lenses, and knobs. | ||
I recently acquired this Behr badge , which I have been told went in the engine compartment next to the vin plate. I'm also told it is just the VIN # for the Behr assembly. Can anyone verify this or know anything about this tag??? Looking for info or pictures of an original behr bus with this mounted??? | ||
