Hey everyone, I'm new to the board, and new to owning a giant bus. I need some help finding a manual, an I'm hoping someone can point me in the right direction.

This past year I did a motorhome conversion on a 1983 Ford Bluebird B-Series School Bus with an 8.2L Detroit Diesel.

This thing has eaten through 3 alternators in the past 6 months, and I'm starting to realize that this is WAY more than I'm prepared to handle.

What I need is a Full Service Manual for the vehicle, especially wiring/fuse diagrams so that I can disconnect the majority of the fuses that do not pertain to actual driving (mirror defrosters, door buzzers, etc.)

Does anyone have a link to a PDF or know somewhere that I can purchase one?

Thanks for any help, and if you're interested, there's a photo forum with the work we did on it: Doom Noir

 

Have you tried contacting Bluebird?
