I bought this yesterday:
It's mostly complete, but not currently operable. Seating for 18 passengers, 7.3 IDI/E4OD/3.54-geared Dana 61, pretty solid shape.
I have questions!
1. What size battery is this supposed to have? Online sources have Group 24, 24F, 27, 65, and other sizes listed. Which one is correct?
2. Does anybody have the wiring diagram for the Collins HVAC stuff? Some idiot took the switch panel that operates the rear heater and air conditioning system - my guess is because it operated the lights - and cut the wiring rather than unplugging it. Anybody know how to make the AC work?
3. The wrecker driver that towed it to my house managed to destroy the driveshaft trying to nudge it farther up the driveway, anybody know which driveshafts interchange? It's an 'E342' with 138" WB.
4. Tires: Is it OK to replace the increasingly hard to find LT235/85R16 tires with the more common (and less expensive) LT265/75R16? My '90 F-250 had it done, any reason not to on an EconoBus?
Lastly, who all has one of these? What do you like and dislike about it? How do you insure it?
THANKS Y'ALL!
