Yeah But I have a bus and I think that front drive vehic. have much more
USABLE space than the rear drives. sure I can fit a 4x8 sheet of ply
wood in the back and SHUT the door only with the engine back there I
cant fit anything of great depth like a sofa. In fact I have fit up to
13.5 ft. of lumber in the bus and closed it up with out problems. I
built a deck the summer and carried most of the wood in the bus at ONE
time. The BUS you see is powered not by the 60hp air cooled lawn mower
engine but it is powered by a 2.0 ford water cooled motor slightly
modified. I recon its about 125hp with HEAT.
Anyway I would like to have a EURO van with the 5zylinder instead.
More hauling space USABLE space.
JUST my opinion Marty S.
