GOOD NEWS BUS CONVERSION

Update: The following is our first bus conversion that we completed in 2010. We have since completed a new bus conversion. You can find the entire process of that conversion on YouTube . Welcome to the first post from the Good News Bus blog. From here you can see the transformation from school bus to RV. Please feel free to comment. We always enjoy hearing feedback. This is our project. A 1995 International Flat Nose Genesis School Bus with an Amtran Body. It is powered by an International 7.6-liter DT466 Turbo Diesel Engine and has a 4-Speed Allison Transmission. This is an International stock photo for the DT466. I wish ours was this pretty. It only has 110,000 miles on it so it should have a lot of life left. We will be doing a complete change of the interior and exterior. The bus will also be outfitted with full living quarters, kitchen, bathroom. We may end up using this as a tour bus for ou...

Bus Conversion Day 1 - Seat Removal

Today was the first step in our project. Our job today was to remove all the seating in the bus. We really didn't know what to expect. I had helped remove seats in another bus once before and it was really easy. This time it was a little more difficult. I had read a lot online of how others have done this. Most the articles I read showed people using a grinder to cut out the bolts that held the seats down. This looked like a messy, dirty and unhealthy job. I chose to use an Impact wrench and a standard wrench. One person was inside the bus with the impact wrench while the other was under the bus. We needed a 1/2 socket and wrench to do the job. The person under the bus held the bolt in place while the other used the impact wrench to unscrew the bolt. This was the most time consuming part. We focused only on the bolts on each side of the isle first. After all the bolts were out (took about 5 hours) I then focused on removing all the bolts that attach...
