I used to be a school bus driver in the UK, and one day the kids left my coach in a real mess, I was told by my boss not to clean it, and take the school kids to school in it the next day, and leave it there, and get a lift off one of the other drivers back to the yard, the school kids were made to clean it from top to bottom on their lunch break!
I remember when they switched from the horizontal grille of any old dt466 to the vertical grille on the bus model. Thought it was the coolest thing ever. Right near the end of high school the freightliners were just entering the fleet. I still remember watching that bus light assembly to the top left of the driver. It is there to let you know if a light has burned out. Doesn’t really matter now because it’s all led
I liked to ride over the wheels because that was the smoothest part. The very back of the bus was the most rough. I remember once in 6th grade our bus had to slam on the brakes to avoid a car and looking out the back we saw the four skid marks from the dual wheels. We all thought it was cool....lol! Our bus burned rubber!
The name tags above each seat brings back memories from when I was in Kindergarten and rode the "Pencil bus". I guess for really young kids who didn't know how to count yet, it was easier to identify a bus by a picture of an object plastered in the window.
I have scrapped a couple buses! We flat towed one 60 miles with a generator and battery charger for the electric over hydraulic brakes,and another one i drove 60 miles with a blown rear dual. I just knew the other one would blow but it never did! Back then those buses brought around 1700 dollars ,today's prices that one may have brought between 4 and 600. I guess the moral of the story is, the higher the price, the more creative the scrappers get.Well maybe we just get crazier!
It's been 21 years since graduating high school and so I haven't rode a school bus since. The school system starting using buses with engines in the back and the school bus had a radio, so we could listen to music on the way to school. My high school had a tunnel where buses would come in to drop off students
the engine originally would of been a DT466E diesel engine electronically controlled the engine is turbocharged. and a later Allison Transmission as these bus bodies were formally made by AmTran formally Ward. the company today is known as IC Bus owned by Navistar some bodies say wolfington Body Co on them. as this bus chassis is most likely the last of the International 3800 chassis before they changed over to the Durastar chassis and new guage cluster, the engines remained the same on the earlier durastars till they used the MAXX FORCE name on the engines and as of today it got the Cummins ISB 6.7L engine option as its a popular engine with many fleets. and is used in the Ram full size 2500 and 3500 pickup.
I think that bus got backed into a very solid school building or something like that. That rear end will get a good price at the very least, nice score.
We once had a School bus..that was converted to an RV. It was pretty cool..but it never ran..so we used it for storage. Other than that..School buses were just a thing id get on and put my headphones in and listen to music on my way to school in.
There are some districts that put radios on the buses. If anyone passes the stopped bus, the drivers can radio the police your tag number and vehicle description. You'd be surprised how many people drive past a bus with the lights flashing and STOP sign out nowadays!
I'd love to see another video about a bus that is like this kind but seeing it run and drive a little bit but I doubt that will happen anytime soon unfortunately.
Guess they stopped making manual school buses. I remember riding to first grade on a IH Loadstar with a manual transmission and gasoline engine. The ladies driving the buses certainly got a work out between the manual transmission and no power steering....
I assume they are just like trucks. The transmission is either manual or automatic depends how it was ordered. The bus that picks my son up is manual. I have a cdl class A and trucks are either way
True to some extent. The FE/RD are constructed on "gliders" with the customer's choices of drivetrains. However, manufacturers like Blue Bird and Thomas generally only offer an automatic transmission with choices of diesel, gasoline or CNG/Propane engines. A customer with other requirements certainly could have them built to their specs including a manual transmission. Haven't seen one in about 20 years though.
I'm a school bus driver in IL. There's no reason for the floor to be so trashy looking. I allow them to have water and if they bring their lunch to school, I tell them no eating on the bus and also show them respect. I really don't have any trash on the floor, just sand. lol. You get respect from the kids when you show them respect instead of yelling at them all the time.
I believe what is painted on the hood is Griffin, not a lion.has plenty of room under the hood to put a 12v Cummins &Allison combo in or a good manual transmission, maybe a 10spd?just a thought.
Jay Smart, they even use these buses as public buses in Mexico City. I actually rode one once n I'll never do it again. This bus's muffler was welded on with another big ass muffler and the muffler was going straight up the back door and sat like a radio antenna. It sounded like a freight train. Scared me to death.
Problem with school buses are that most are diesel now a days. And just like big rigs they are usually driven until the engine needs an overhaul. Injectors on a diesel can cost 5 grand. You can get rebuilt ones cheaper but not sure how good they are.
Wow, I guess zero fucks given for the kid's safety----one retread that's coming apart and one that's completely bald with the cords showing. And they couldn't even provide the kids with ashtrays....
+justsomeguytoyou I imagine the operator will have pulled the good tyres off to use on another vehicle and put a set of rims with junk tyres on it to send for scrap. There's no point in sending it off with a few thousand bucks worth of tyres on it...
Sure Jamie, but how did they get that way? Regardless of which bus they were on originally, tires don't go bald by themselves----someone was driving with unsafe tires before they got pulled off and put on this bus.
+justsomeguytoyou My guess would be that those tyres probably came off an old vehicle used as a yard shunter. Even empty these buses are heavy vehicles, 5+ tons so you can't just push a disabled vehicle into a workshop. Most operators have an old truck or chopped bus to push sick vehicles around, they never go on the road, they're just there to move busted stuff so the state of the tyres isn't important. So long as they hold air they're fine...
The more contemporary school buses are so much safer than a van. They are basically big rolling roll-cages. The NHTSA safety regs are pretty thorough. Had to write a legal memo on that when NHTSA banned the use of passenger vans for student transport.
didn't you have one of these? but an older one or am i thinking of someone else cus i could of sorn there was another bus there, still neat though if its in good shape,
During my 4 years on the buses I rode on brand new buses with personal AC and Radios for each seats too 1980s Chevy manual with a loud 350 that leaked exhaust like a banshee that was for back up that every one called Olde Woah Girl as every time you left of the clutch it jumped but would never stall.. Rode on a fair share of Thomas Cab overs? ( rear engines ones idk name) With the Detroit’s and Cummins in them
Well at least I know why it's there and why they scrapped it... It's in fair condition just need a motor & transmission and someone could cover it into a home or party bus I know I would if I had the time an money to do so
the bus company school buses i rode were much older than that 2001 international early 1980's to mid 1990's when i graduated in 2010 they still had many of the mid 1990's school buses and i remember riding 1980's school buses as a child that were stick shift nothing like the sound of the old gas manual school buses shifting going up the mountain and when i graduated from high school they still had a fleet of mid 1990's school buses if that 2001 international bus had been owned by rinky dink bus company i rode as a kid they would of repaired it replaced the bent rear door and bumper and put it back into use they kept buses from the 1970's and up that had blown up engines as parts at the bus company
Most "rural" communities would patch this girl up and send her back out into service. Due to the lack of rust Im surprised it wasnt purchased elsewhere to be fixed.
Ya seeing the lack of rust pretty much looks brand new and yes the Bus company i rode is Called D&S Buses Inc they have about 15 to 20 buses might be more but i think its close to that amount when i was still in high school in 2009 the one of the two school buses that comes up the mountain ran off the road and slid into the edge of the woods striking some trees leaving the rear end side of the bus around one panel beat up and broke a window and they drilled out the rivets and removed the damaged panel and replaced it with a section from a parts bus in a few weeks that bus was back on the road and there was only one kid in the bus when it crashed it was on the elementary school dropoff route.. luckily i was already home because i was in high school and high school let out hours before the elementary schools did
The manuals with gas had a very distinctive sound. The fans were always driven off the engine, so it would sound like a jet in front. Accelerating, you'd always hear the whoop, whoop, whoop and muttering from a start, then a silent coast, clunk and back at it after the gear change.
Ya it's a shame they are rare anymore mostly make Diesel school buses anymore though the ones i rode as a child that were manual were Blue bird international body buses
I rode man trans IH Loadstars to school in Boston in the '70s. Some days you got to feel up a chick, others you got your lunch money taken by a gang of thugs. Good times.

wow, I'd think here in the US that'd be illegal lol
There are no school buses in the UK...

Perfect candidate for the Figure 8 Races they do at the county fair type shit, just weld a small block Chevy in there and go
we have tons of SBC
fuzzy wuzzy - it's Miss Fritter from Cars 3 lol

Man.. flashbacks to when I was in highschool... yesterday.
graduated high school 21 years ago (1996)
Wait you get a bus? I ride the public bus lol.
@@rexjolles yeah we have dedicated school buses, but now I have my own ride
Those busses are getting to be a Cult favorite. Look for Schoolies on youtube :-)
I think everybody's had good and bad memories if they ever rode a school bus on a regular basis
Good amount of scrap metal right there
Had my first kiss on a school bus. Ohhhhh the memories.
Good for storing your inventory
I remember seeing this bus rideing around in Gvl it's Legacy charter schools bus
looks like a good office
Holy crap high school flashbacks when you entered the bus at 1:36

Save the seats. They are so comfortable and sad to see destroyed.
the engine originally would of been a DT466E diesel engine electronically controlled the engine is turbocharged. and a later Allison Transmission as these bus bodies were formally made by AmTran formally Ward. the company today is known as IC Bus owned by Navistar some bodies say wolfington Body Co on them. as this bus chassis is most likely the last of the International 3800 chassis before they changed over to the Durastar chassis and new guage cluster, the engines remained the same on the earlier durastars till they used the MAXX FORCE name on the engines and as of today it got the Cummins ISB 6.7L engine option as its a popular engine with many fleets. and is used in the Ram full size 2500 and 3500 pickup.
I live in the rust belt (Ohio) anything over 2 years old that doesn't have rust on the underside and lives outside; I'm suspicious of
I think that bus got backed into a very solid school building or something like that. That rear end will get a good price at the very least, nice score.
Is it weird I'm watching this on a school bus
Ironic to say the least.
We once had a School bus..that was converted to an RV. It was pretty cool..but it never ran..so we used it for storage. Other than that..School buses were just a thing id get on and put my headphones in and listen to music on my way to school in.
Have any more buses to show off at the scrap yard
Now we need to see the white bus!
Ill get to it! But first, the galaxie!
If it had an engine it would be a grate skoolie conversion.
Good for storage
Great to throw in the hunting grounds and use it as base camp
I remember a lady bus driver I had in grade school actually did back into a telephone pole.
Virtually no memories. Stopped riding the bus after 8th grade. Walked or caught a ride to high school 'til I got my license.
I enjoyed that video!
Thanks!
There are some districts that put radios on the buses. If anyone passes the stopped bus, the drivers can radio the police your tag number and vehicle description. You'd be surprised how many people drive past a bus with the lights flashing and STOP sign out nowadays!
$80,000 down to $300.
I'd love to see another video about a bus that is like this kind but seeing it run and drive a little bit but I doubt that will happen anytime soon unfortunately.
Someone can buy this n turn it to a motor home they make great rv's
letsvlogwith bigjohn yeah great rv with no engine?
If they had the finances or an engine laying around to put into it, they could totally make a great camper
Jay Smart just replace back door and bumper also I had bad memories to this day I don't like being driven anywhere lol
letsvlogwith bigjohn really
I WOULD LOVE ❤ TO HAVE A GOOD LOOKING BUS LIKE THIS ONE
I first thought it was a planet fitness bus. 😂
HAHA!
Great Videos, keep the good work! greetings from Mexico!
Guess they stopped making manual school buses. I remember riding to first grade on a IH Loadstar with a manual transmission and gasoline engine. The ladies driving the buses certainly got a work out between the manual transmission and no power steering....
Steve Varholy I know what you mean I riden in one for two years that the door was manual as well
You and me both, Think the one I remember the most was an old GMC, gas engine, manual trans had a high and low gear too. Talk about noisy!
I assume they are just like trucks. The transmission is either manual or automatic depends how it was ordered. The bus that picks my son up is manual. I have a cdl class A and trucks are either way
True to some extent. The FE/RD are constructed on "gliders" with the customer's choices of drivetrains.

A customer with other requirements certainly could have them built to their specs including a manual transmission. Haven't seen one in about 20 years though.
Yep. Me too. Stick, manual door, no AC. Mine was a private school that bought old, discarded buses from wherever.
I'm a school bus driver in IL. There's no reason for the floor to be so trashy looking. I allow them to have water and if they bring their lunch to school, I tell them no eating on the bus and also show them respect. I really don't have any trash on the floor, just sand. lol. You get respect from the kids when you show them respect instead of yelling at them all the time.
I go to vocational school, and I still ride a school bus. Now I’m wishing I have a car. LOL!
I believe what is painted on the hood is Griffin, not a lion.has plenty of room under the hood to put a 12v Cummins &Allison combo in or a good manual transmission, maybe a 10spd?just a thought.
Pull the stop sign swing arm system for future boredom projects. I can only think of a million stupid vehicles id mount it on
Holy shit I'm from Greenville SC, I know where Legacy Charter is...that's where I grow up!!! Although I'm in Hawaii now
Is the bus sill around? I would paint it silver and keep the lion...and the lion should be gold...
Wasp jay smart can you make a video about the 2004 lincoln navigator thank you if you do
its very suprising that my bus is really clean (being its 2017)
2001 when windows xp released
Damn I haven't been on a school bus in over 20 years lol
Sometimes the city government uses these buses to transport inmates back and forth to the correctional facilities.
I have seen that before as well
Jay Smart, they even use these buses as public buses in Mexico City. I actually rode one once n I'll never do it again. This bus's muffler was welded on with another big ass muffler and the muffler was going straight up the back door and sat like a radio antenna. It sounded like a freight train. Scared me to death.
ah an amtrans i remember those amtrans was owned by international but amtrans is gone now
Problem with school buses are that most are diesel now a days. And just like big rigs they are usually driven until the engine needs an overhaul. Injectors on a diesel can cost 5 grand. You can get rebuilt ones cheaper but not sure how good they are.
Douglas Chaney injectors for a dt466 are only $250 a pop so it’s $1500 plus the oil rail seal kit
Wow, I guess zero fucks given for the kid's safety----one retread that's coming apart and one that's completely bald with the cords showing. And they couldn't even provide the kids with ashtrays....

nope, thats us, we have a few
my old school used freightliner buses. new school uses blue bird
During my 4 years on the buses I rode on brand new buses with personal AC and Radios for each seats too 1980s Chevy manual with a loud 350 that leaked exhaust like a banshee that was for back up that every one called Olde Woah Girl as every time you left of the clutch it jumped but would never stall.. Rode on a fair share of Thomas Cab overs? ( rear engines ones idk name) With the Detroit’s and Cummins in them
I would turn that into an r.v.
look like it was turned off in the middle of gauge cyle since the they stuck in the middle
I thought the same thing looking back on the video
Well at least I know why it's there and why they scrapped it... It's in fair condition just need a motor & transmission and someone could cover it into a home or party bus I know I would if I had the time an money to do so
Nuthin Like a Old Inter HAHAHAHAHA
ITS ALL GOOD
How much would you want for 2 red light lenses off the top portion of the bus?
I LOVE MY JOB CLEANING THE BUS 🚍 AFTER SCHOOL 🚸 AND WASHING THE BUS 🚍
Pull the seats out and use it to store parts.
Will it run ????
i want to see when they dismantle it
how much would u sell the cluster??
I’ll give you 500 for the whole thing I have a good running DT466 and Alison transmission for it
Anthony Torres what are you going to do with the bus? Are you going to restore the bus if he sales it to you?
Buses are heavy as you know.. We can part it out for more then that. I appreciate the offer, but we will pass.
Worth more than that in scrap metal. Nice try..
I had to laugh says no smoking but did anyone catch the cigarette lighter lol
Was it a 466 DT? Or in Ford terms a 7.3?
turn it in to a rv
She's pretty!!

Jared Lyons
No he broke into a scrap yard, and decided to review thier junk.
Clutch fan
That's an Amtrac right?
you amtran right?
Technically yes autocorrect is dumb
Make a nice Dirt Everyday Go Kart.
I watched that one! Just dont have the space to ride it around like they did
running buses can be bought for $2,000, this is of minimal value, what would it be worth ..... not running?
Pug1 needs some parts
Swap hoods for the other international.
I didnt even think about that!
Jay Smart yeah it should have the same assembly. Plus you have a spare bumper!!!
IF IT WAS ME I GET ANOTHER ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION
I bet the driver got a lot of abuse from the kids for reversing into whatever they hit...
Class has been dismissed. The bus not working.
THIS MAKES ME SICK TO MY STOMACH WHEN I SEE SOMETHING LIKE THIS MAKES ME MAD
that must've been one awful school
painting their dumb school mascot on the hood of all the busses? sad!
steer tires have to be virgin tires by DOT
I CLEAN MY MESS UP WHEN I LEAVE THE BUS 🚍 WHEN I WAS GOING TO HIGH SCHOOL 🚸
Do you work at this junkyard?
My bus has 106k miles
IF IT WAS ME I GETS A ENGINE AND TRANSMISSION FOR IT AND TAKE IT TO A BODY SHOP
