Well, my boy Gavin picked up the burb today from Jon, and after a loooooooot of soul searching and discussing options, we decided to make the bus driveable and sell it (or burn it for insurance money, haha) and start over.  Cut my losses, so to speak.  This is a sucky day for jumbo.  I've had this piece of shit for 2 years and 3 months, got to drive it 3 times, sunk almost $10k into it, and it's fucked.  Sorry for the pity party, but i just had to unburden somewhere, and if i did it on facebook, the wife would see it, and i'd have to hear it for 6 months.  This way, i just bring home a burb that's the same body style, but not a total fucking hack job, so she might be somewhat understanding.  Or maybe totally clueless.  Please keep your collective fingers crossed that the new one is'nt cursed like the bus was.  Maybe we should cross dicks, too.  Sorry, just had to throw the Clerks 2 line in there. L8

haha, thanks dude, but i'm NOT EVER EVER EVER again buying something that's already done.   All i need is a body and frame.  Don't need interior, motor, dash, anything, just body and frame.  Building a dash, new interior, putting in an LS1, etc.  I think that's the best way to go about it.  Gavin already has a line on a complete truck for $300.  Yippee.  But seriously, thanks for trying to help out.
