Bought Salvage shell rear brake fire for 1200$ no drive train. all air bags in rear gone. have replaced all mechanical in rear brakes suspension rebuild etc. Have 60 serries and eaton 10 spd autoshift for drive train and 4:56 rear gears. Fire did only minor interior damage. That has all been torn out and cleaned repaired. Body damage is being repaired. Total cost of build will be in the $20,000 completed relm as total looks now; this is not your high end prevost but what I can afford.Very Labor intensive! It is a hobby I love. as I could not afford to own a coach any other way. This is our 4th build.Thanks to this and the other board for a education and answers to questions it makes this project a possibility. | ||

I have run the 10 speed and had the tranny reprogramed for a 12 speed. It was less jerky on take off. I default to 3 rd gear. Just a thouoght. |
