This is a real nice ice cream snack truck. I got the idea to build this because the trucks in my neighborhood are very low budget and look like s*#t. I bought 2 school bus vans at a sale in Wisconsin and turned one into this ice cream truck.
The motor is a GM 6.0 liter V-8. Has over 200k miles but runs great, strong and very quiet! No oil leaks and does not burn any either. Fleet maintained by strict standards of Wisc. DOT. All tires are newer....80% or better. Drives straight down the road. The paint is new and so are the decals. It still has room for your company name all over it. Strobe light works for attention at fairs, football games or night time use. This truck can bring in a ton of $$$$ cash per day.
I used Sears Kenmore fridge and deep freezer. Now, my reason for a deep freezer over a cold plate is this: if you buy those large cooler packs and line the bottom up to about 8" thick, you'll get the same results and no unloading at night. just plug it in and leave it on. The fridge is there for cold candy bars, water, pop and what ever else, plus more freezer room on top. I have chip clips for bags, cotton candy? This is a dual battery set up with an isolator. so you will not run the truck battery dead, ever! The isolator lets the alternator charge both the truck and the deep cycle inverter batteries at the same time. The bus already has a high output 100 amp alt. on it. 10,000 watt power inverter that is fan cooled and is ready for work!
This bus gives you plenty of room and head room to stand up in. Room to grow too! I put a 4' light and table in it as well.
The music box is a real metal unit not some cheap plastic version from China. It is seriously loud too!
The service shop checked it all over, rear brakes at 50% or better. Fronts brakes have new pads and rotors! Shocks are fine and exhaust is too.
This is a nice truck for the money and one good season can pay for the truck and then some.
If your local come look at it, drive it or hear it run! This is for sale locally so I may end the sale early if it sells on the street.
I have stored it indoors and mice free!

GM recalling over 243,000 crossovers over possible seat belt defect
Tue, 17 Aug 20102010 Buick Enclave - Click above for high-res image gallery
The summer of 2010's recall hit parade continues unabated today, with General Motors having just announced that it is asking 243,403 owners of its 2009-2010 Lambda crossovers to bring their three-row haulers in for inspection. The culprit? Second-row seat belts in select Buick Enclave, Chevrolet Traverse, GMC Acadia, and Saturn Outlook CUVs have "failed to perform properly in a crash."
According to GM, a second-row seat-side trim piece is to blame, as it can impede the upward rotation of the buckle after the seat is folded flat. As a result, if the buckle makes contact with the seat frame, cosmetic damage can occur, potentially requiring additional force to operate the buckle properly. So far, no great shakes, but in the process of applying that additional force, the occupant may push the buckle cover down to the strap, potentially revealing and depressing the red release button. As a result of this, the belt may not latch, or in certain cases, it may actually appear to be latched when, in fact, it isn't.
Recharge Wrap-up: Chevy Volt's new, improved powertrain; Inabikari wants to build Tesla Model X fighter
Thu, Nov 6 2014We knew the 2016 Chevrolet Volt's new powertrain would provide more range, but we didn't know how much. According to GM's Executive Director Larry Nitz, it is about 12 percent more, overall. "I can't think of a powertrain we've re-engineered more extensively within a five-year period than this one," he said. The battery, electric drive system and gasoline generator have all been reworked to allow for an overall driving range of up to 425 miles, with electric range speculated to reach 42 miles or more. The new Volt will also benefit from 20 percent quicker low-end acceleration, weight reductions and improvements in NVH. Read more at Hybrid Cars and at the SAE website. Hyundai's FCEV research and development boss, Dr. Sae-Hoon Kim, is optimistic about the future of hydrogen mobility in Japan. With the Tucson Fuel Cell already in production ahead of Toyota's FCV, Hyundai has a foothold in the hydrogen car scene. Kim believes that since the Fukushima disaster, Japan's attitudes toward energy make it friendly to a growing hydrogen economy. He also says that hydrogen won't be limited to Hyundai, with Kia getting all the battery EVs. "Both types are for both companies," Kim says. "For the moment, volumes are small and it is not wise to have Hyundai and Kia competing." Read more at Just Auto. The Latvian/German startup Inabikari is using crowdfunding to build an electric crossover for Europe. The Rev.01 EV hopes to compete with Tesla's upcoming Model X with a range of over 400 miles and a five-second 0-60 time. The group currently is trying to raise initial funds through an Indiegogo campaign, with hopes of more investment in the future and sales beginning in 2017. See the video below, and read more at Hybrid Cars and at the Inabikari website. Fuel economy and emissions regulations could lead to some interesting design changes to automobiles. The World Light Duty Test Procedure, set to replace the New European Driving Cycle in 2017, will push automakers to find new ways to reduce drag on their vehicles. For better aerodynamics, we could see traditional side-view mirrors replaced by cameras that display what they see on screens inside the vehicle. Another likely change will be the introduction of smaller, narrower wheels. Improving the average drag coefficient from 0.32 to 0.20 could reduce CO2 emissions by as much as 20 percent.

Mother's Day Suggestion No. 2,506
Thu, 02 May 2013With Mother's Day coming up, we're always looking for new gift ideas to celebrate the occasion, but hot laps around a track might not be the best suggestion for Darius Khashabi. In a video posted on YouTube, Khashabi straps his mom into the passenger seat of his C6 Corvette Z06 for some laps around Sonoma Raceway (formerly Infineon Raceway) at "60 percent" with comical results.
Now this isn't the first time Mama Khashabi has gotten seat time in her son's car around a track, as his YouTube page shows him pulling a similar stunt - with similar results - around Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca last year. Scroll down for the video, but know that the action really gets going at around the 1:40 mark.
