Gillig, Crown, Ford bus advice & parts	Patrick Young	4-2-02
Howdy bus nuts I am the proud owner of a parts Crown, 5 parts Gilligs, and two Ford B700s...yes, I LIKE buses. I have also dismantled 1 Crown and 2 Gilligs with my own two hands, so I know a LOT about them. I run a non profit called the Wheelchair Project (and teach high school) and I use buses as both my transport vehicles for medical supplies, and as my fundraiser for my non profit. I offer FREE advice to anyone who can put up with me. I drive a 1970 Gillig (1160 CAT/5 speed) and a '73 Ford (3208 CAT/5 speed) and buses are one of my main mechanical joys in life!! I love diesel stuff in general, and also own a Deutz generator, a Rugerrini, a Lister (ALL diesel) a diesel pickup, a diesel car...so Feel Free to write or call for advice I'm at (559) 251-3814 or (559) 349-6242,or just go to my website http://www.WheelchairProject.org Happy busing pat young :-)

I am a first time bus buyer and came across this- do you know of anywhere I could find a parts manual or where would be a good place to look for spare parts or what it would take to convertthis for recreational use? Thank you for your time. Josh HUkriede

Do you know any school bus (make & model) that uses a two-stroke Diesel engine?

Do you know any school bus (make & model) that uses a two-stroke Diesel engine? Crown & Gilligs. 2 stroke 6n71 Detroit Diesel under the floor.

Gillig also used DD 6V-53 engines in their older buses and DD 6V-92 engines in their Phantom series school buses and transit coaches. The new Phantoms use DD series 50 and series 60 4-cycle engines. I have also seen the odd GM conventional bus with a DD 6V-53. Mark O.
