1991 Ford E350 COLLINS Bus

Hey yall new to this forum, Just picked up a 1991 Ford E350 Collins School 7.3 IDI. Will be doing a axle and suspension swap from stock van ttb and rear diff to f450 dana 80 take out (single rw to dually) and mono beam front end. E40D will be gone through and rebuilt with shift kit, adding a saddle tank for extra diesel, will be removing and rebuilding light frame extension and adding a w/distribution hitch to tow a dedicated pup trailer. Won't be raising the roof. Weight on this rig will not be a issue.. ANY IDEAS OR PICS for interior? (156 in from split door to rear door 74 in wide 65 in height)


My background, BAH Mechanical Engineering, Certified Welder, ASE Master Tech (diesle, hvac, Air brakes) And current Commercial Class A Holder (truck driver) (if yall have medium duty heavy duty truck/bus issues give me a shout)

I like swr buses. Need to be a bit creative with the weight. I had to search for a while for mine. With 6ft2 I can just sleep across the width and that saves a lot of interior space.

Good luck
