Ok so my search is coming to a head. It is now between a 1987 gasser 460 ambulance. That would be likely a pain to build out but is gorgeous in my opinion. Versus the school system maintained 1987 6.9 idi school bus.
I’m driving 4 hrs to look at the gasser tomorrow then flying to California the next day to look at the bus.
Leaning towards the bus for sure. On my flight I’m going to read through this thread and pinpoint what I need to look out for when I look at the 6.9idi especially.
2 questions
What should I look for when I look for mechanically when I look at the bus?
What fluids and filters do I need to replace for the roadtrip home? The bus has been very lightly used for the past few years?
Thanks folks. Additionally if anyone has a mechanic in the San Francisco/Sacramento area that could also work
