Well, it definitely wasn't a barndoor. I was ignorant back then, but
not *that* ignorant-- it was a '66 vintage or so. Besides, the guy I
sold it to was a complete jerk (stole my hibachi) with whom I have
not kept up these many years.

Were the bolt patterns the same between 16"-wheel barndoors, and regular
14"-wheel splitties such as a '66? Maybe the guy *I* bought it from (got
it free, actually, sans engine) had the 16" wheels sitting around and
didn't know what to do with them, so bolted them to this bus?
