Hey All, first post here so apologizes for any lack of decorum. Picked up a really sweet ride, an 30ft extreme low floor vehicle made by the now defunct Dallas Smith Corp. Its full time FWD, with swing arm rear suspension, on full air ride that drops the frame within 4" of groundlevel making it handicapt accessible with only a fold down ramp. Sucker only has 6000 miles on the 6.3 Diesel and only 400 hours on the 10kv Kohler Diesel generator! Engine, trans runs, generator run like new. Alittle context, I picked it up off auction and apparently it was owned by Upland CA public library system. They went bankrupt and sold out accounting services to using third party that sliced the bookmobile program. Wife wants to start a business with it.
Either way 25 yr senior diesel techs working at Ford have never seen anything like it. Adds to the cool factor a bit.
Off the rear of the trans has a mini shaft into a custom Dallas Smith Corp drop box, traversing power to a Dana 60 out front. Objective is to have the drop box rebuilt. Looking for recommendations on who can do it. Everyone i talk to has no clue. I'll add some pictures for ya'll. Happy to answer any questions you may have on it and no, there is no torque steer when driving it. Thanks Dennis
