My experience has shown me that, especially with small buses, very little checking is done by the body modifiers. Everything must be checked, including OEM stuff. This should be another reason to include funding for on-site visits to ensure what you are supposed to get, you are really getting. The place to correct things is, in many cases, at the modifier's factory location. We do many of these things for full-size transit buses but fail to do it for small buses it seems.

Anyone that has taken delivery of 2007 Ford vehicles, make sure you check the front ends
very,very carefully. One of our units arrived
without the pinch bolts that hold in the upper ball joints to the steering knuckles.
Just a word of caution,check them over completely
