Anyone ever research a source for this? In other words, a source for just sheets of stainless siding. Been doing some research on this, and perhaps someone else has, and can save me some time. I'm thinking with the Sysco, and other trucking companies using it on their trailers, one might be able to find it in "surplus" form. |

Have you tried IBP in Florida? They will reproduce all of the different styles of fluted siding for the various makes and models. They are supportive of busnuts, and have a booth at Jack's party in Arcadia. happy coaching! buswarrior |

Also check your local (or nearest)well equipped fabrication facility...(tank and boiler shops for instance). They generally know what you call fluted as "beaded". The stainless is available either to them or to you and should save you a bit of middleman markup. Not cheap!! FWIW..... RCB '64 Crown Supercoach (HWC) |

Thank you RC, I'll check that out. This is what I'm after, an alternative source for SS siding. Jack |

Love Toronto, wish we could be there. We are putting most of our resources toward our new catalog & web site. It has been (6) years since our last new catalog.......May not be able to afford Bussin USA rally in Oregon, and it's weighing heavy on my mind ......Hopefully we have a good year & can continue to go to rallies, would love to go to the OTE next year. Thanks again for your comments. Rich (International Bus & Parts) |
