Hey guys, been busy getting the new shop up and running. I need a new shop truck, looking for a clean , straight, relatively rust free single cab. Running would be a bonus, but not needed. Would like to find one as complete as possible. I have Ca$h in hand, so please email me info, pics or call me if you have or know of one.

Ben, not being pessimistic, but realistic, I hope you have a lot of $$$. They are out there, but very very hard to find. And the guys who do have them, won't sell them unless you are the right guy. then you need to drop 10K to get them into shape. I'll keep an eye out on The Samba for you - can you trailer a buy, from say, OR or WA? Most everything you will find in the mid west will be a rust bucket. Best of luck to you for sure.

samba is best bet, ive scoured the state looking for this era bus to no avail, theyve all been cleaned out. you could get a driver on the samba for about 4k or so + transportaion

Thanks guys, yeah 5K is about where I wanted to be for a driver or close to. Been on the samba for years, but yeah they are a little proud over there sometimes. I have a 1 ton cummins dually 4x4 and roll back 21 ft trailer, so hauling is not a issue.

I have seen a couple here in Missoula, but not sure if for sale or not. I will keep my eyes open. I will make a run by where I think I saw one last time sometime soon. I'll also call a guy I know, and see if he knows anything.
