i think the radiator and intercooler is a bit different than the 95.

I just won this one off ebay!! yeah

I was going to go for the dt but i figured it's probably easier to sell the cummins and ford pick up truck parts fit in the f800's so i can put power windows in and all the glass is the same.

What d'ya think??

Congrats on your bus purchase! I love the sound of those Ford air brakes. I wish my International had noisier air brakes. I'm not sure what pick-up truck parts you were planning on trying to put into the bus, but the body on that is a Blue Bird, so no Ford pickup parts are going to fit into the body, and the glass is most certainly not the same. What are your plans for this bus? Post some pix when you get it cleaned up!

If all your problems are behind you... you must be a school bus driver.

They will bolt on, we have done this in the past without issue. Sometime a minor "tweak" is required, but the different radiators were never an issue for us when doing this. Hope it won't be with you either. (This assumes you are dealing with both units having the same type of engine V-8 or inline 6....)

i bought it for storage and i'm going to put the drivetrain in a medium duty f truck that's why i'm talking about the pick up parts. I wonder if the little fiberglass fender part that bolt to the cab are the same for the 94 down and 95 up style. hard to tell from pictures. the ftruck will be getting everything from the bus. How much do these buses weigh about??


thanks
