What should I count on ...
In the way of interior dimension minimums on a 1997 International 10 window bus? Wondering about side to side rib to rib, and driver's seat back to back wall? All but certain to raise the roof, height less vital.


Thank you.

Buses are typically 7'6" wide inside.
Front to rear depends on body style, FE, RE, or Conventional.

Conventional doghouse.


I'm thinking at least 24' front to back exclusive of driver's seat back.

You lose about 8' of overall space with a dognose. 5' of engine and another 3' of drivers cockpit.

Our 11 window conventional 1995 International is around 26' from the drivers seat to the back door, if that's any help.
