Subject: Re: Dutch Door Installation Author: Steve Anderson [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 07/ 23/ 03, 9:38am In reply to: Bill 's message, "Dutch Door Installation" on 07/ 22/ 03, 4:34pm Bill, I live in Poulsbo, and own a 79 FC 35. I doubt that you will find a local shop that will understand what you are tallking about. Bryant Motors in Renton is the authorized Blue Bird service center. They deal mostly with school bus repair work but have been very helpful to me as far as parts go. They may or may not perform the modification. I have not had occasion to have them perform sevice work yet as I do most of my own repairs and service. It is my understanding (I could be incorrect in my understanding) that the the "Dutch Door" modifications are not a factory available item. I believe that Holland Motors in Holland, Michigan does that conversion and also sells the parts to do the conversion. They are easily found on the internet. There have been a number of postings, including some with pictures on the Yahoo Wanderlodge Group forum. Including some fabrications that were home made. Could be what your looking for.

I will check on the postings on the Yahoo site. I will most likely do the modification myself, as a winter project. Bill wb@waypt.com [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> Subject: Re: Dutch Door Installation Author: Steve Anderson [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 07/ 24/ 03, 8:39am I was at Ft. Flagler last week. I would be interested in your swing radiator project when you do it as my 79 does not have the modification either. This last spring I replaced all belts and front engine hoses. Not too bad a job but it would be nice to not have to drain the radiator each time for access to the front of the engine. Steve Anderson 79 FC 35 Poulsbo, WA. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
