The last thing I need is another project, but this thing is pretty rad so I'll bump it for ya. Good luck with sale.

I kinda want it just to annoy the neighbors.

Id rock it if I didn't have my RV already. I was looking at short busses when I bought it

 

[secretcitizen]

Man I want this thing!!

So Very Cool, bump.....someone buy this and convert it and share the convo pics with the rest of us.

Me, I kinda want to buy this and park it very visibly in my driveway, just to piss of my Homeowners Association!

They won't let park my camper van in my own driveway 'cause it's an "RV"!

This is why I'll never own a house that is part of an HOA. Even if it's an inactive or flexible HOA, things change. Freehold only for me! On an acre or more! Even if I have to live in the boonies

WOW is this cool, if i had the funds i would by this, buy a 700 dollar cab over camper and gut it, combine the two and still be under 9K
best of luck.

I love how it says "Cool bus" on the front.

Any idea on the buses weight?

 

[secretcitizen]

+1 on the weight and what is the expected fuel consumption !(seriously)

 

[Aspasap]

The title says 6800 on the weight, no idea on the fuel mileage

It probably weighs around 6800 stock. But add the conversion and the tires it's closer to 7800 or 8000. It should get if running properly 10mpg or so. Add a Banks kit and maybe 12-14. My friend gets 14-16 out of his 2wd powerstroke bus. This is an idi. A tractor motor. Instead of mpg you should be asking about cavatation issues in the block? Is it running the proper coolant and do you know the history or the coolant? On the 7.3idi they bored out the 6.9 and left it with thin cylinder walls. If you don't use the proper coolant it weakens the cylinder walls and causes blown motors. That's the number one and only question that matters on a 7.3 idi. Everything else is real cheap and easy to mainatain and replace. All parts are readily available. It's 60 dollars for glow plugs and 200 for injectors. That goes to 200 for glow plugs and 1000 for injectors on a powerstroke. Make sure this thing has genuine motorcraft (Behr) glow plugs also. No champion or autolite or delco or anything but motorcraft (Behr) zd9 oem glowys.

I am interested in this would you be interested in a crew cab dually diesel? Clean rust free 93 Chevy 3500 6.5td. 2wd has a 16k 5er and a 125 aux tank. All led lights, 179k miles. 5in turbo back and few other things. It's a 93 so it's mechanical just like the idi. No pmd or vacuum pump.

Edit. With the seats removed its neutral on the weight. So maybe more like 7400. Tcase isn't in yet either. Taking out the seats but adding 4wd ,tires,gear etc should max you out around 8k loaded out. And about 7400 as is now with no tcase and no seats but heavy *** tires.
