still looking for a crown...

Well, I haven't been on here in a long time, and I am sure Smitty will give me a hard time about disappearing. My tubing season (yes, renting tubes to float down the river) went pretty well. The...

Re: Wanted: Bluebird TC Special Ed Bus

Cool! My bike is a bobber, so I stripped off a lot of the stuff, so it isn't as big and it doesn't weigh as much.

Re: Wanted: Bluebird TC Special Ed Bus

That is funny, because I thought I wanted a full sized bus, and now I think I need a midsized bus. And you are exactly right, I need a bus that turns on a dime, so it sounds like this is the bus for...

Re: Wanted: Bluebird TC Special Ed Bus

The trip was with 2 other buddies, so we made sure to have a good time, plus we broke down near vegas :-)

The bus was a midship engine, and it was one of the rear tires that blew.

The ones on...

Re: Wanted: Bluebird TC Special Ed Bus

hey mightybus! The Crown ran perfectly, I have no complaints about it. Unfortunately, the tires on it weren't in as good as shape as I was hoping. When the tire blew up, it damaged the exhaust,...

Wanted: Bluebird TC Special Ed Bus

Well, the Crown Coach didn't make it back, so it is now sold. I am now looking for a shorter bus, a Bluebird TC Special Ed bus that has a very short wheelbase of 132", a flat nose, roughly 23 to 26...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Ok, so I have a new question. I have seen a lot of crown buses with top lights on the front and back that have a "bug" look or "dog ear" look to them. The bus I bought does not have them, and I...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

I got that information from a friend of mine that is an attorney, but she may not know what she is talking about. She did mention that you cannot take the class to whipe the ticket off your record...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Smitty,
As I build this business up, I will need to. Right now, I am handling everything myself. I already hired a couple 16 year old kids to help out next summer, but I will be doing the driving....

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Kamoo, from what I have read up on, you are correct. I will be needing a Class B CDL and will need endorsements for passenger and air brakes. I am pretty much screwed since I will be actually using...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

John,
Yes, I bought this bus from Patrick. I will need to go pick it up in the next few months. Nebraska has different classifications for a commercial drivers license, and I will need a different...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Well, I ended up getting the tandem axle 40' bus. Even though I could have gone with the 35' bus, I still liked the look of the tandem axle better. Now I just need to figure out a way to get my CDL...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Thanks Kamoo, I really appreciate it. I am leaning more towards the Cummins. It is a little more expensive, but the whole bus appears to be in good shape.

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Ok guys, one just popped up at a good price. What are your thoughts about a Detroit Deisel versus a Cummins? Both are in the same location, but one is about 7 years newer and $1100 cheaper. Let me...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

Luckily 97% of the roads I will be on are paved. The rest is gravel that is good shape. I was thinking about taking out the back row or two of seats for tubes, life jackets, etc. I will also have...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

I wouldn't need a ton of storage, but some storage would be nice for youth life jackets and people's coolers, etc. I just wanted to make sure there was at least some storage. Wow, the great bendy...

Re: Looking for a crown bus

I know people have mentioned that Crowns do not have a lot of under storage due to engine placement. How much storage is there? Is there at least some storage?
