Hi there! I'm Tim!
We have a 2003 Ford 3-350 shuttle bus! The thing is, I have no idea who manufactured the bus portion of our bus, as it has like, literally no labeling anywhere other than the Ford labeling. That being said, she's 12 passenger with a handicap door, aluminum shell on the back, fiberglass shell on the front, and NO FLOORS!!! (yet lol). I'm removing the windows this weekend and covering them up with aluminum sheets via rivet. I have no experience in bus conversion, carpentry, electrical, plumbing, vehicle customization, or pretty much anything I'm doing, but I have a PHD in Online Research and a minor in Youtube, so I'm basically qualified. I also have a lot of determination in making this work for me, and I hear that's the most important part.
I've read through skoolie.net posts for the past year and a half or so and, I gotta say, y'all are some smart cookies! I would just like to say thank you, everyone, for all of the helpful tips and tricks you've given away for free; your personal experience is priceless. I can not say enough how appreciative I am of the fact that there's a place where someone like me, with very little information on how this all works, can come in here and walk away with a plethora of newfound knowledge, some of which you can not find anywhere else.
I will definitely be posting again pretty soon with updates on the windows and also with probably sooooooo many questions on how I'm supposed to figure out this wiring panel that I can't find a wiring diagram anywhere for. (I did a bad and ripped out all the rear wiring when I removed the old bus ac unit and compressor.)
If anyone has any questions or comments, bring 'em on!
