Anyone building or thought about building a school bus?

1950ChevySuburban...i am not sure about other states but my bus was used as a school bus in california from 1947 till 1966.. then it was purchaced in 1966 when it was still original with the big flathead 6cyl by a contractor to transport migrant workers from mexico to the bay area untill the early 70's ... my uncle got it in 1973 then he used it as a private bus to get to his fishing camp.. i got it a couple of years ago, drove it to missouri while it still had the california black tags on it.. i built it into what you see now and registered it in missouri as a private bus. i hope that helps

Blue 34 near me and a couple of others

 

Love this COE bus, has the look and stance

 

love that paint job on the flamed 34 ford... did not know there were that many buses out there.. some really make mine mine look like a pile of ****.. time to get my old pile of bolts back into the shop near a paint gun.

 

How about pulling this behind your hot rod school bus? OK, maybe not.

 

When Buick uped the Nailhead to 364 ci in 1957 the 322 ci nailhead was relabled by GM as a Chevy and used in trucks mainly school buses. Cool

 

I did not know that, interesting.

 

This is a 1960 Ford that is on my in-laws farm. Its in decent shape for how long its sat. I believe it was driven to Southern IN from MI in the late 70s or early 80s, parked in its present spot and hasn't moved since. License plate still on it from 1979 and still has the y-block in it.

 

Whiskey runner that is one nice old white, my high school ha done of those that old man that drove it could make that big six bark, you knew old man Banti was heading up the canyon. Those are getting hard to find, whats in it for power now, looks to be a baby ***mins.

 

Here is one of our local guys.

 

vintage..good eye...it is a c-180 supercharged ***mins..pulls the old bus good and at near 15mpg..if'n i stay outta the throttle... i have put 10,000 miles on it since july

 

I know where a 50 ford bus is sitting, we have thought about fixing it up for a long hauler for road trips and such. Haven't heard back from the guy as of yet

 

Hello, this bus has injected 454, overdrive 4L80E transmission, 9" Ford rear end w 4:11.
Rear wheels are 16" x 10" with 3" backspace running 345/55-16" BFG Sport Truck radials. I had the bus at Detroit Autorama in 07 in the basment.

 

wow basicbob...i love it..just the right look..and sounds like a great drive train besides

 

Here's one I saw at Wayne's in Cedarburg, WI a couple of years ago. A little fuzzy but I took these with my cell phone:

 

these busses are coming outta the woodwork.. that old yeller bus is really sharp.. lot of thought and work went into it you can tell

 

This bus is driven quite a bit on local Spokane V-8 ford club tours

 

I want that old Ford bus, it would fit right in to my collection.

 

Wait till you see what I've got up my sleeve.... patience my friends.

 

Chop it, slam it, done

 

OK, its not really a School bus, but it is a cool bus. Top of the summit at Logans P***, otherwise known as "Going to the sun" Road in Glacier National Park in MT. My buddy, Roddermonster in his '34 sedan parked beside it.

 

will soon be a late 50s dodge short bus owner,
