I found this very interesting during the early stages of the virus spread. My early solution was to take a HEPA filter, cut it down, and enclose it in a folded bandana. Note that this was when masks...

One very much like this was for sale awhile back out of FL. That one had been used as a tech bus for a school system. That bus had been converted by some company out of OH whose name escapes me, but...

I have looked at some of the seats with integrated shoulder belts such as the Toyota Sienna seats, as this seems like it would be a good thing. I need to look at how the Sienna seats mount. We have...

That one is indeed a rear engine bus. I did find a part of one video where they showed it flipping up. It looked sort of like a flip up standard sized bus seat (2 person). Didn't find a section yet...

That's a possibility, although as someone who's not a welder, that's just more work and more $$$ I'd have to farm out. At this point I'm trying to take in all solutions and hold off on pursuing a...

That looks very doable. I don't think playing musical chairs with the passenger would be that big of a deal, no more often than it would be necessary.

What is the panel that the seat is bolted to?...

I like those seats! I much prefer those to the "thrones" I see in some RVs. Would you mind sharing where those came from?

I like that...I would not have thought there would be room enough for two side by side. It also gets the seat further towards the front, which will likely help with the carsickness. Air ride would be...

I looked at some of the limo buses early on. They have a cool smooth look to them, but I'm not sure they're quite as tough as the school buses. Then there's the whole "Hey honey, I bought a stripper...

Hi all!

Had the serious bus talk with the wife. I was talking about seating ideas, discussing a couple of buses I had found. My plan had been to keep a couple of rows of seats in the front. There...

I had plugged in the VIN info into the Vantage site, but it didn't confirm the engine size. 7th position of the VIN is an S; I take that to confirm the 5.9 (5.9TA). I'll RTFF (Read the Fine Forum) to...

Nice looking bus! I looked at the high gearing (3.54), the I looked up the transmission and I believe it's an AT545. Saw it was a Colorado bus.

I can't imagine what that poor transmission has been...

Hi Jack!

Have you spoken to the seller on this particular bus? I have attempted to reach out to the seller a week or so ago but have yet to get a response. Also, are you in the area of that bus at...
