New person saying Hi!

Hi Folks,
I'm new! I lived in an International back in the 90s, took a big break, and bought a Bluebird last weekend. Looking forward to learning as I go. Thanks for being here!

Dave

Mini bird.
That’s the one that looks like a step van school bus?

Wow, that's a lot of head room! It probably is just the picture but the rear end looks much lower than the front end. Are you hauling a heavy load? If so, does your bus have dual rear wheels to support the load?

p30's don't have a big GVWR so they tend to bottom out when loaded.

Welcome, OP!

Keep an eye on weight.

I've always loved the looks of those P30 chassis. Enjoy!

Awww, thanks folks! I put in RV storage for a few weeks while I prep my side yard. The bus is empty. Maybe I need some new leaf springs? Here is another pic but it is also at an angle.
