I would take a DT466 over an 8.2 any day of the week.Ī properly maintained DT466 will outlast the 8.2 many times over. Thanks again for the alum/steel body education. Otherwise, if I don't come across a good 8.2T deal, I'll probably end up using the 466. Lots of folks don't like the 8.2, but I've had a couple before and it'd do fine for this application. I don't want a huge doghouse jammed into the cab.Īctually, if I find a Detroit 8.2L turbo for a few hundred bucks that'll be my first choice. Yes, it might be a 466 and I love that motor but it's not what I'd prefer for this particular truck.
#Goodtimes webshots skin
skin on steel stringers seems like just asking for intermetallic corrosion problems. Those Crown Coaches were aluminum skin only, eh? They didn't use aluminum extrusions for the framing, or floor ?Īlum. So there are a lot of real cherry older vehicles still driving around without a spot of rust on them.original paint after 50 years.that kind of thing. We expect ya to stop and put yer chains on. Of course, we don't don't put corrosives on the roads on purpose here in Oregon. No, I've never seen a bus with rust stains running down the side as I do all the time with old trucks. However, any school bus body built on a Loadstar will be steel. The exception of course is Crown Coach (the CA company, NOT Crown by Carpenter), who made their Supercoaches using primarily aluminum skin. Tradtitionally, school buses were made entirely of steel dating back as far as the 20s with some manufacturers. You've never seen a rusted out school bus body? lol

The bus bodies are steel, and that very well could be the DT466 in there! Not sure which year ranges IH used DT360's and 6.9/7.3's.or even if they ever put those in the 1700 chassis.

It's a very 'normal' looking yellow bus 35' overall, and I think it's an '82. Still waiting for final confirmation of details so I don't know the body-mfg yet. I'm trying to estimate the salvage/scrap value because that will pay for the haul, and the engine/tranny too I hope. So it needs to be towed or hauled here (5 hrs, not a cheap move). The reason I'm asking is because my Loadstar 1700 truck needs an engine and I've got a line on a Loadstar 1700 diesel bus with a bad fan and radiator. So I wondered if bus bodies are aluminum. But every old medium-duty truck I've ever seen sitting, has rust streaks wherever the paint is chipped/cracked. In thinking about it, I realized I've never seen rust-streaks running down the side of an old bus. This probably sounds like a dumb-question to bus-people but I've only worked on IHC trucks so far.haven't touched a bus yet. Let me know if you would like an invite to the site.If you have any questions please let me know.Are most 'typical' schoolbus bodies made of steel or aluminum? and also my X husband family with was in Plaquamine Parish, Victor'sbrother Saverio was married into their family, that is very distant but I still keep tract of them.Do you have any idea where Victor wasįrom or any idea what his father or mother's name was?I have some pictures in webshots and also some information in my site, which if you would like an invite, I will send to you.There is some information I have not put in my tree (also in the site) but I added the info in the site.I also have a tree for them in my site.Below is the link to your Tedesco's in I live in New Orleans and am working on the Tedesco family.I have not connected to your line of Tedesco's yet through the Tedesco's but one of my grandfather's niece told me she believed we were connected because Ignatius, Sr.use to go to their house when she was little, she is 98 now.Also a few years ago I spoke toa decendant of Victor I and he told me he was a cousin to one of the Tedesco's in my line, neither of us know how.I have been trying to find who Victor's father was but never have.So we are not at this time related to them through the Tedesco's but I am connected very distantly to them.My aunt through marriage married the son of Isabell Bonee through her first marriage - Rudolph Peter Stritzinger,Jr.
