(Limited storage)

it depends on the ramps. i have a set that i used to use on a 71 and 73 bus. and yes, with careful positioning and a bit of fortitude, you CAN get the bus up on the ramps. you can't get into the rear hatch (cargo), but other than that ... :) if the ramps are NOT braced (front-to-back), i might suggest passing on them ... some of these K-mart types creak and groan too much for me to feel comfortable working around them. joel p.s. you have to have enough clearance on the ramps (i.e., they have to be sloped LOW enough) to clear the tailpipe.
