OK, I may be gloating.  After countless beater (and worse) Busses, I 
finally have a good one and I just want to "share".

Gloat mode on:

I pulled the seats and floor mats out this morning.  Lots of greasy dust 
balls (fun to clean!), screws, and other bits, but *no rust*.  The 
passenger area mat does have quite a few stains (paint, varnish, whatever 
else was hauled in here at one point).  Has an interesting "bubble" at 
one point (about 6" in diameter) (??).  I may use the mat out of my '61 
instead.

More to come ...
