Put about 50 miles on the bus today.
Everything about the suspension seems to working as planned. The ride is very firm but not jarring. The new internal bars helped tame the frontend a bunch, not go-cart stiff, but a lot better than before.
Unfortunately it brings to light the other weakness. The steering is pityful. '59 stock bus box trying to swing wide meats, 14 turns lock to lock with a 24 inch steering wheel. It's actually a little scary at speed. I don't really have much of a solution for this part of it.

Oh, and it is still overheating. Just as bad as before I added the second rad and all that work.
