Re: '37 Touring bus
I dont think the Insurance company would allow you to do any full capacity crusing

Re: '37 Touring bus
I suppose the double generator/water pump belts were for reliability. If one broke, you could keep on going.
Was this a common configuration? |

Re: '37 Touring bus
Dual belts were on big trucks like this chassis started as. Quite a market for the pulleys and water pumps as people are using them on supercharged flatheads.

Re: '37 Touring bus
The guy writing the ad has a way with words, but doesn't know a 3 1/16" bore from a 3 3/16" bore. Yes Mark you are correct. And it would be a 21 stud at that.

Re: '37 Touring bus
As nice as the bus is I wonder why they didn't clean up the gauges a little?
