As a school bus driver I really enjoyed this video. The first time I drove a school bus was in 2007 my first school bus I drove was a Wayne bus body with International 3800 series chassis, then the next one i drove when I later changed routes I drove a Crown by Carpenter bus body International 3800 series chassis & also drove a Blue Bird bus body with a International 3800 series chassis. Aftrt 9 years I went back to driving & now I drive a Blue Bird Vision (older model) which is a Special Needs/Handicap bus. Thank you for sharing! 🇺🇸🙂👍

I love these junkyard videos👍 The bus i rode as a kid (Walker County GA) was bus 48. A 1988 International S-1800 Bluebird, 65 passenger, with a non turbo 7.3 (maybe a 6.9) diesel.

Yeah I hadn't heard of it until I saw that bus. I guess it wouldn't be a good idea to go poking around down there for bus pictures then, haha. I'm from Huntington, you're not too far from me!

There are places like this in most states - especially the larger ones. In my home state (In fact, less than a half hour from me), and used to be bigger, is Brandywine Companies' central Maryland Recycling facility for commercial vehicles (buses and larger). It's been around at this site longer than I have been alive. They deal with district operators, contractors, etcetera, and not just Maryland (they work with Fairfax County, VA).

That 1989 Blue Bird S1800 has emergency exit windows too. Very rare to see them on a late 1980s model.

The reason that Kentucky had such bad problems with their CE’s is because they used the VT365/Maxxforce 7, which are terrible engines.

I didn't see any of the ones at the beginning. Hadn't heard of Ramey-Estep High School either but it looks like they still have a couple of buses. The Lighthouse Baptist Carpenter would be a 1995 model. I like how they used the Durham font on that one as well, lol.

I believe that KY spec called for DTs in the CE. It was also a 2010, about 3 years too new for a VT365

What tools did you use to get those emblems off? I plan on going here soon to buy quite a few emblems.
@Project68110 ай бұрын
A drill, Phillips head drill bit, flathead drill bit, flathead screwdriver, Phillips head screwdriver, a mallet, and a drill bit to drill through a screw/rivet that is too rusted to come off in one piece. It just depends on how the emblem is applied and what it's made out of.
