I bought my childhood school buses!

I picked up the pair last fall 2016 for only $4,500. They would be parted out otherwise. Both around 170,000 mi. 5.9 Turbocharged Intercooled Cummins 12 Valve on the '97 and 24 valve on the '04. AT545 Allison hyd brakes, spring ride. 60 gal fuel tank on the '97, 90 gal ob the '04 very good tires all around since they were kept in lean-to at the local bus garage from new until spring 2016

The '97 is in the process of being made into flatbed with 4 seats left in.
Not sure yet my plans for the '04, its really too nice to cut apart.

Flatbed? You gonna haul hay on it?

Possibly, i figure with most of the seats and bus body off I can haul 10,000-12,000 lbs of whatever i feel like hauling, lol. and have 8 passengers come along.

Good news, the DMV cashed my check for 32,000 lb Heavy Farm license plates for my '97 #6 flatbed bus.
Also i found out my '04 #8 has the Alison 2000 and not the AT545!
