Belly Bus

Yes, all buses have been fully restored and go through a 120 point check. New suspension, engines, clutch, brakes, and electric components have been added.

No, these are original classic Volkswagen buses that are fully restored and operational.

Belly Bus is an end-to-end builder. Unlike others, we design and build all our VW Bus food trucks in-house.

Because each stage of our VW Bus builds is handled in-house, we are able to ensure the highest quality work.

Since we are direct to consumers, we pass on the middle man savings to our customers.

Usually our builds take anywhere between 3 and 4 months. We schedule our projects on a first come, first serve basis.

Because we always have on hand a sizable inventory of buses ready to be customized, you will never have to wait for us to source an actual VW Bus.

No, we will draft custom plans for you based on your requirements. If you have a specific design in mind, we can incorporate it to the plan.

No, the trucks have to be registered by the owner at the local DMV. All documentation will be provided to the new owner.

We do not help with the licenses as they vary by state and location.

All buses are over 25 years old and meet Federal EPA guidelines. For more information, visit www.epa.gov.

Pricing starts at $39,900.00 for a fully equipped and operational VW food truck. They are all customizable and we can give you more details if you drop us an email on our contact us page.

Before deciding on the right food truck builder for you, make sure you carry out proper due diligence. Asking the right questions will ensure a stress-free buying experience. Have they built similar trucks before? Do they have client references? Are they builders or brokers? Ask to see pictures and/or videos of prior builds. When possible meet with them on a one-to-one basis or do a live video tour of their working facilities. Make sure you are dealing with a U.S. entity to establish jurisdiction and legal guardrails. Never wire all funds upfront and ensure your wire transfers are U.S. bound (do not wire funds internationally).

Yes we do. Please visit the Food Trucks for Sale section where you'll find some of the VW Bus food trucks we can deliver immediately. Many trucks are in the works so you may also want to contact us to find out when the next one will be available.

For all custom food truck jobs, we require a 30% deposit. The rest will not be due before your vehicle is delivered to you. Off-the-shelf models must be paid in full the day you take possession of your food truck. If you need financing, remember that food trucks qualify for SBA loans.

Yes, we will ship your VW Bus right to your doorstep for an additional fee which usually ranges between $350.00 and $950.00 for most U.S. destinations. Contact us to get a quote.

Yes, we work on all sorts of projects provided they involve Volkswagens! In addition to food trucks, we also build and restore special-purpose retail and promotional vehicles.

All of our VW Bus food trucks are designed based on a specification sheet. The specs of your bus take into account your requirements and those of your local health department. All the information is then compiled into a comprehensive 5-8 page document that describes the build (materials and equipment used) and numerous blueprints of the bus's design, set-up, and different installations (kitchen, electrical, water and gas when installed). The custom spec sheet you will then receive in PDF format can be presented for validation to your local authorities for pre-approval.

Yes and no. We charge a one-time fee of $500.00 to draft your specification sheet. This amount is then credited toward the final purchase price of the bus. In other words, if you purchase the VW bus, your spec sheet will come at no cost. However, should you choose not to go ahead with the project, the $500.00 spec sheet deposit is non-refundable.

Yes. We build custom-crafted mobile storefronts for all sorts of businesses ranging from fashion concept stores to farmer market trucks. Whether you wish to launch a nails salon truck, flower truck or any other mobile boutique, Belly Bus will work with you to design and build a unique truck for your business.

First-time business owners, established businesses looking to expand into new markets, or corporations seeking unique ways to reach out to new customers.

Most of our buses are equipped with manual transmissions. Should you require an automatic transmission we can upgrade your truck for an additional cost. Please note that because of the scarcity of automatic transmissions, such a modification may result in longer build times.
