Nice. I used to drive International Blue Birds with manual trannys. I loved the sound of them, and hated the Ford 750B's with Blue Birds, they rode hard compared to the nice riding Internationals.
On the Dodge bus, Dodge only had 3 truck or medium duty engines. The 318 for light medium duty, the 361 and no that is not a typo. The 360 did not come out until 1974. The 361 was used in Dodge medium duty trucks such as the D800. Then they used the 440.
I rode to school on an old International school bus back in 1952. It was probably an early 1940s model. It would be fun to have that now. The bus graveyard should be a tourist attraction. That is interesting.
The gray Chevrolet is either a 1954 or early 1955, according to the grille. The hood emblem is from an older model. The 6 cylinder engine is most likely a 235, made from 1953 thru 1962.
thatr superior coach emblem at 6:44 is a classic, and a collector's item to collects, i got a couple iof superior coach emblem myself, AND look like that emblem there is in great shape, look like in mint condition, and still looking around for more
I remember I sometimes rode a 1971 or '72 Dodge Carpenter bus to & from school in Prince George's County Maryland in 1978 & early '79, It served as a substitute bus for the '75 International Loadstar 1700 Carpenter bus I normally rode, I remember it had I think a 4 & 2 manual transmission, It also had low, metal backed seats that said "CARPENTER" on the back and I think it had either a 383 or a 440 4 barrel V8 in it.
Wow, ya don't see many Dodge school buses. The school district I used to drive for said they used to have some 1974 Dodges, but no one liked driving them. And then Dodge quit making school buses. So they're very rare.
retrochad do you think you ever get a modern bus like maybe a late 80's to early 90's diesel school bus sure would be nice if you could find one and get it
I LOVE all these old school buses! The gray Chevrolet, where you said "it looks like it may be late 50's", is actually a 1954. Also, what a shame that the wheels/tires are gone and even more of a shame that you can't see the driver compartments! I'd love to see what the driver area looks like on the early 60's Chevrolet school buses. I want to buy one, and restore it completely to its original school bus configuration.
The Ford hd truck line often had the 361hd or 391hd rather than the car/pickup 360 or 390. Biggest difference in the hd engines you see is the water pump and thermostat housing looks different from the car engines.
You are right about the 360. I had one in a Dakota R/T. I was thinking of another engine I found in a old Chrysler I think it might have been 361 but it had the dist in the front like the 383 440 does.
The old Chevrolet may be a 54 because in 55 the front end changed to the 55-57 design and the engine looks like a 235 that came out in late 53 (powerglide only) or 54.
Man I love these bus graveyard videos! can you do any filming of the interiors? I'm most interested in the interiors of buses so that would be great if you would do that! :)
it would be nice if you could get one and make a video of you getting it running again. nothing like seeing a motor thats been sitting awhile coming back to life.
Thanks! I enjoyed seeing the old buses, reminds me of when I was a kid.

@fanboychumchum1000 Freightliners were only used by Thomas starting in about 1998.
Are those 6-spoke rims exclusive to Waynes? I have seen some early 90s Blue Birds with 5-spoke rims in much the same fasion.

Also, is the Partrige Family Bus style more desirable ? What year was it ?
Always was insulted when someone would make a replica Patrige bus with and ugly box front end, and try to pass it off as "original" !

The engine in the Dodge might be a 360 383-440 since the distributor is in the front.
wb5oxq 2 years ago
not a 360, 360's had the distributor in the rear of the engine. most likely a 440, i don't think Chrysler used the 383 in heavy appilcations.

You are right about the 360. I had one in a Dakota R/T. I was thinking of another engine I found in a old Chrysler I think it might have been 361 but it had the dist in the front like the 383 440 does.
