Blue Bird Mini Bird

[jacobszall]

I've had a bit of trouble finding others with the same model bus as myself!

Anyone also have a Chevy Blue Bird Mini Bird?

I have a 1990, based on the P30 chassis.

Saw one in Santa Fe's CL today, while I was looking for something else...

*91 Chevy School Bus

My bus is an 86 Blue Bird built on the P30 chassis. It's only 18 feet long--4 windows on the passenger side, no lift. It's the only one like it that I've seen.

A local school district just cycled out the last of this bus style in September--I used to see them around every day.

Thank you. I love the paint job, too! I didn't do it, the last owner did, but I love it!!

I have a 6.2 diesel (I think it's GM?). My mechanic told me I have a Turbo 400, 3-speed transmission. I'll check out your build thread!

Send me a message!!

 

[TimeTraveler-SKO]

one way to determine what transmission you have is by how many pan bolts you have.

Transmission Identification Chart

i have the 4 speed but OD doesn't engage atm so its like driving three speeds, how fast can you go?

 

[jacobszall]

I've pushed it has high as 70, I believe.

I had to replace the valve modulator on the transmission and bought the one for the TH400, so unless there is the same valve modulator on other transmissions, I definitely have the TH400.

I'll have the check the bolts when I'm out at the bus tomorrow!

Me Too!

Hey y’all! I’m currently purchasing an early 2000s Mini Bird!

I’m glad I found this thread and group!

Hi. I just joined this group. I have a 1990 Bluebird Mini 19 feet long on a P32 (that's wha MVD is saying) with a 350 Chevy engine. I am currently converting the bus into a dessert truck. I have questions about the mini and wondering if you still have yours. Let me know either way. Thanks

P30

Another good thread about P30s ⤵:

www.skoolie.net/P30-Bus, Who actually has one?

 

[craigify]

Greetings. I definitely still have mine. Happy to talk to you about it any time, even voice.

Old thread, but I also have this bus. Finding parts has been annoying, but I haven't been searching for Chevy 350 engine parts so thanks for that tip. Mine is a 2000. The last year of production for mini birds. Vin indicates p32 for me. I've been told there's little difference between the p30s.

That's so cool! I have a Detroit toooooo! But mine is a 2001. How did you convert it to veggie oil? I've heard of it being possible but was wondering how it's working out for you! Also, did you have a huge heater in the front of your bus too?
