Proud to own a 1991 ford e350 Collins super bantam single rear wheel with international 7.3idi with almost no electrical and no Def. We built it out on the streets in Portland Oregon and it can park anywhere. Flat roof. Full roof rack. Spare tire on the back door. Winch on the front. All led lights. Passenger swivel seat in stairwell and 3 full recliner seats for our kids . A sleeping loft above drivers area and full queen-sized bed in back. We drove the bus through Canada and down the west coast to AZ for the winter. Then we bought the next unicorn bus.. 33 ft international amtran genesis fe with dt466 and allison md3060. Now built out for more room and bigger kitchen with full bedrooms and bathroom. So much room. Still have both with almost matching paint jobs. Yes. We rock.

7.3 IDI is the best. Just needs a turbo upgrade. Kits are available or take parts off of a junkyard one. The last two years of the f-series had turbo IDIs!

My girlfriend and I are just starting on our bus. It's a 2003 E-350 7.3 4 window by a Canadian company. It is unique because all 4 windows are the short ones and it has no body ahead of or behind the windows. It is tiny. Exactly 10' from the step well to the back wall. Super cool little rig.

Really enjoyed the insight of registering the mini-buses as motor homes. Great info! Someone is going to be very thrilled to purchase this bus, and have years of memories to follow. Keep up the great content!

You know, I always pass up short bus builds because I've never seen anyone build a short bus skoolie with skins on the windows. People always seem to keep the original windows and I've always hated that. Especially after Chuck put us on game about those factory windows that leak. Thanks Chuck. I'll consider these when I start looking for rig one day.

I have a 97 five window with the 7.3 and the high roof it’s fantastic Only difference the back windows weren’t installed as it was a luggage area I guess and no handicap door Nice to see you think it’s a great rig

Coming from the land of sodium chloride and ferrous oxide that is a very sweet buss, and a really good price in my opinion. Alas I've already got an RV but boy did it cost a whole lot more. Keep the good stuff coming.

I love my 1999 7.3 E350 with the 4.5 window. It can easily reach 80 mph on the highway, but I try to keep it under 65 mph. It’s a Thomas model, so the interior height is about 6'1", which is a bit tight for me at 6 feet tall, but perfect for my wife who is 4'9". It's currently titled as a van, though I've considered converting it to an RV.

I have a question, been watching your videos for a while now and I am really interested in living this life style, however, I live in florida- I know you mentioned rust issues so how should I go about this? Even if I buy a car from out of state without rust would it rust easy if I brought it down here? I would like this bus to move out west in the Colorado/New Mexico area, tired of the humidity and heat down here but I don’t know anyone personally who lives in the area so not like I can go up and work on it by myself so I’m kinda at a stand still

@rickhiggins6521 29 күн бұрын

Salt on the roads up north are the biggest cause of rust. Unless you plan to drive on the beach with the salt water you don't need to fear rust at all. I have lived here in sw Fl for over 50 years and no rust ever.

@BASIL_LEAV 29 күн бұрын

@@rickhiggins6521 thank you for the response! Yes I learned this the other day, I don’t know much about cars honestly or buses but good to know I don’t really need to worry about rust, just possibly getting a poorly taken care of bus if I buy it from down here, the school districts here unfortunately are really behind

Why would you want to remove the AC unit? I'm not challenging. I'm asking. I don't know anything about bus AC units.

I suspect it was the rear a/c/heater combo which usually comes as a giant box on the floor (and in the way). I have yet to remove mine. 😂
