I just got an 88 Econoline shuttle bus conversion. Where can I get parts and accessories for the bus part. It says EMC Falcon on it. Any help is appreciated.

There should be a manufacturers data plate in the body somewhere, with the who, what and when, capacities, tire info, etc. This would have been sold to them as an incomplete vehicle, and there should be a plate or sticker from Ford stating that as well.

Check your rear wheel wells. Bet they are wood.

Don't be sitting above the rear wheels when a tire comes apart.

Can't find anything with EMC Falcon doing Google searches.......

i believe EMC would be ElDorado Motor Corp.

Yes, that is what it looks like. The only difference is the seats are wrapped around the outside not in rows. It seems to be a wiring nightmare. The blower control on the ac/heat panel doesn't work. I pulled the panel out, all of the wires have been cut and spliced. One of the wires is not attached to anything. I don't know where it goes. I need a wiring diagram or something. Thanks for the help.

Buy a Haynes manual (they have true and good electrical schematics) and return it to stock wiring.

The Haynes manual doesn't cover conversions like this. The center console has all kinds of wiring added by the conversion company. A friend of mine just got rid of a dead '88 EMC Falcon. Now he has a '94 with a 7.3IDI, but it came with all the service manuals.
