Kirk Strawn wanted to custom VW Bus that was unlike any other, and thus Walter The Bus was born. This super-sized version of the Volkswagen classic was custom-built on the chassis of a 1963 fire truck that was discovered in a junk yard. They took this vehicle and made the world’s biggest VW bus and named it after the Walter Truck Company whom originally built the fire truck. Read more for a video and additional information.
To turn the fire truck into a VW bus design, however, extreme modifications were required to make it a lot taller. The interior was gutted and then the custom body was assembled, using the old roof of the truck as the floor for the upper level. They also had to move the driving position to the roof by extending the controls upwards before the sides were built up to close in the upper and lower sections. Oh, did we mention that it’s now equipped with 85 speakers? I mean, what kind of party would it be without such an extreme modification.
