I have a chance to purhcase a 1992 IH short school bus. I am looking for some info on what they are worth and what parts were used in the chassis. I do not know what brand of bus this is(thomas, blue bird, etc..) I do know that is is a 5 speed(is this the same tranny used in ford trucks, zf-5) with a 7.3 NA diesel. It has 100,000 miles on it and is in good shape. What is it worth? I would either like to convert it to a camper or use it to pull my tractors around. Can anyone give me any thoughts on doing this. Thanks Jake

The tranny is not likely a ZF, most likely a Spicer or Eaton/Fuller. Is it air brake or Hyd.? The chassis parts are basically the same as an IH med duty truck-3800 or perhaps 3400 series for the short bus. You may need a CDL to drive it -depending on GVWR. If you make it into a camper your insurance will be lower than as a hauler.If it is in good shape $2-3000 would buy one here.

talk to your insurance first, i bought a ih bus about 10 years ago was gonna pull a trailor with the little super stock tractor on it, a school bus never was offered with a tow package, they would insure it by itself but not as a tow veh,
