What kind of bus did you convert and where did you find it?
The bus is a 1962 Chevrolet C50, with a Superior Coach chassis.
It’s pretty much an old grain truck with a school bus body.
I found the bus on Craigslist in Idaho.
After a few unsuccessful trips trying to bring it back home to Breckenridge (blown engine, etc.
), we finally got it back before the start of winter to begin the conversion process.

What was it like repurposing it for winter roads?
But, building out the bus was by far the biggest project we’ve ever embarked on.
I was working 3 jobs when we started the build just to make it happen.
My father was really the backbone of the project, guiding me with his handiness and passion.
It’s not perfect, and we love it that way.
Where did your journey begin and where did you travel to?
It honestly felt like this dream was over before it had really begun.
But luckily, so did a major storm.
Shout out to Atlas Automotive, they truly saved the Honey House over those few days.
What was your favorite spot along the road?
After the Utah storm cyclone, we headed towards the PNW.
To make it to Mt.
Baker was our goal, and we had finally made it.
It was hard to put into words how impactful that moment was.
The whole build, working for this, everything, was finally realized.
We spent the next week living out of the parking lot there, under the shadow of Mt.
Baker man, it’s unreal.
Don’t tell anyone.
Highs and lows of traveling in a bus?
Baker was definitely a huge high, the whole week spent up there was nothing short of a dream.
In the beginning, things affected us more in that way for sure.
Constantly worried about breakdowns, freezing our asses off, whatever.
We ran out of the bus gasping for clean air, smoke billowing behind us.
I’m sure we looked insane.
Oh, the joys of “van life” haha.
I will say that did suck.
Does Faction do a thing with vehicles?
All their riders seem to have more interesting whips than everyone else?
Is that just a coincidence?
Haha yeah, it seems to be that way huh.
Faction was born out of counter-culture, influenced by art and making things different and unique.
What’s next for Cody, Kellyn and the Honey House Bus?
Looking for some warmer weather definitely haha.
I think we’re still thawing out from the winter spent in the bus.
