Looks a lot more wide open than when I first went to look at it.

The pile of wood is moved . I backed up to her with my 4x4 , Then I hop in the Bus to unlock the steering wheel and the KEY WILL NOT TURN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So I stopped and walked away with out braking anything . I have to turn it around to tow . I'm going to spray some WD-40 and keep trying next time .

Glen, try moving the steering back and forth, Ruffuss' steering/key lock freezes up sometimes and takes what it takes to free it up. Worth a try! Later Kenn

That thing looks pretty clean for sitting in a field for so long.

Did the wd-40 do the trick on the ignition?

good start to the project. Looks pretty solid overall. Does the engine turn over? Try to start it yet? If the ign is caput rig up a starter switch and power on.

Looks to me like you could just clean and roll it as is (well, install glass first). Nice find.
