an interesting tow vehicle for a fiver.
saw a combination on I-70 this am. a reasonably large fifth wheel hooked onto an old school bus that had the front half "normal" in appearance, and the back half was a flat bed with a 5er hookup. so...

Some of those little front engine flat nose buses that converted to fifth wheel haulers are pretty interesting. Other than smaller 19.5" wheels and tires, those little buses are pretty stout, typically with air brakes, a B series Cummins and Allison transmission. With only 160-190 hp they aren't speed demons, but we all know that the B series Cummins is easily tuned up to 300+ horsepower without giving up too much in longevity. The ride sucks, but maybe 4 corner air ride can be added.
