Adding a handicap lift

Is it too difficult/expensive to add a lift to a bus this size?

I would think adding the lift just behind the door would be better than at the very...

Door floor rusted out

I saw a bus in a junk yard (the owner finally let me in and was surprised anybody would want to look at the buses) and the first step on one of the late 80s Internationals was rusted out. How would...

Re: The Topsy Turvy Bus

Good point, if I ever get a school bus I will have a large yellow billboard. I know they did not paint that bus in school bus yellow, but it must be something pretty close.

Re: Pics of 87 Ford B700 Blue Bus 6.6 Diesel

With that Blue & White paint job it looks like it used to be with the NYPD. Was that the case or do you not know who owned it before?

Re: Air Conditioning

Well I found the bus on Ebay, I really wanted to get it, but there were too many people with a zero score bidding. The seller just sold it to a Minnesotan instead and since then I have not found the...

Air Conditioning

I am not talking about opening the door and all the windows, but an air conditioner that can be used in the rain.
For a bus this size https://i8.ebayimg.com/01/i/000/b2/55/4a43_3.JPG is a 13,500 BTU...

Re: How to lock them doors!

I was thinking that while driving the padlock(s) would bounce around and make noise, but does anyone see any draw backs with padlocks?
I chain my bike up with a chain that has a 5230 pound breaking...

Re: List of Bus Yards & Graveyards

A Danby New York junkyard has some buses which are probably only good for parts.

95 GMC mini

I have been told this type of bus is slippery in the winter because there is no weight over the rear wheels when empty. Would sandbags help at all?
At least the bus has a 6.5 litre diesel and a...

NYS bus insurance

From what I have found out one of the cheap(est) ways to insure a bus in New York State is to insure it as a RV. The local junkyard owner just puts a toilet in the back, hooks it to a tank, and then...

Re: How to lock them doors!

I am guessing (maybe inncorectly) that using padlocks to lock your bus's doors is not such a hot idea.

Re: New here. Here is my Bus. Dialup warning.

I am not used to seeing a bus with a dog house, but that one seems larger than usual. Is this bus still used as an ambulance?
