I've got a 1969 Crown and a 1972 Gillig. The Crown has a 218 horsepower 671 Detroit Diesel with a 5-speed, and the Gillig has a Cat 3208 with a 10-speed. I just started in on stripping out the Crown, and have a few pictures posted on my web page; http://www.crownbus.com I'd be interested in hearing how others have gone about converting their Crowns - especially how and where they mounted all their tanks, etc. I've owned three Crowns and two Gilligs, but just started in on the whole conversion thing. I'll have more pictures of both the buses posted on my web page later this summer (I've been traveling for the past two months and won't be home until late July). But, please, feel free to e-mail me (CrownBus32@aol.com) anytime! C-ya all around.  | ||

1964 Crown HIGHWAY Coach in conversion process. 12 slanted, sliding windows are available. In good shape, silver in color, tinted safety glass, inside ( hole ) measurement roughly 66.5 inches wide by 26.75 inches high. Approximate 3 inch radius on opposite corners Very nice windows with only a scratch or two here and there. Also full width back window, tinted and good condition. And seats in pairs, reclining, fair to good condition. This coach has wheel wells that extend thru the floor area about 6 inches making it difficult to place bath or shower facilities in the usual general area in the bus. Showering horizontaly doesn't seem feasable. Any ideas or constructive suggestions appreciated. Has anyone raised a roof on this type coach? The baggage cavern in the rear seems a logical, place for almost all of the equipment one would carry ie, water and holding tanks, possibly generator and A/C. The area would hold a small elephant. Anyone had a go at this type thing? It's a great bus: Cummins 220 turbo, Fuller Roadranger 10 speed, 58,000 since major, Jake, power assist steering, air ride. Lots of fun to SHIFT!! Comments? Ideas, Suggestions? (helpful, please) Thanx. | ||

If you go to mrsharkey.com you will find a Crown that is going through a major conversion. He is raising the roof, the floor, and I don't know what all else to the bus. Personally, raising the roof on a Crown would be more trouble than it is worth. Unless you do like Mr. Sharkey and take everything off from the floor up and make it all new, getting the curves to match up and look right would be extremely difficult. Good luck and have fun.

Not sure I can give you the information you want on the gear ratio. I got about a ream of material and records from the original owner, but haven't taken time to plow thru it yet. That's a winter project, but I'll see what I can find out for you. It's a Fuller Road Ranger, with a different shift pattern. Also,don't know the configuration of the engine/transmission, but that too is probably in the owners manual. I'll see what I can do on both. I've about given up any idea of raising the roof. That looks to be a MAJOR overhaul. There's a lot of steel at the transition line between roof and sidewall, and the weight could be prohibitive without a crane or such. As someone said, the thing is built like a tank. Nice to know I'm not the only "crowner" around. | ||

I'm still considering replacing the roof. I want a flatter roof than what Crown built, and an extra 8 inches height would give me a lot more interior space. Yes, there is a lot of structural steel in my roof, (that massive roll-cage, who builds a bus to do a 360 roll over and then drive off?) but it isn't much of an engineering challenge, just a lot of cutting and welding. I figure I'd build the new 40ft roof framework into eight 5-ft sections first. Then cut holes through the original roof skin/frame where the new roof section will fit, and weld it to the bus body. The old roof would remain in place until the new roof framework had been completely welded to the bus body, to provide structural integrity and avoid any improper stress loadings. Still just a thought, though. You might try cutting down the wheel wells on your bus. Some of the transit guys have done it, and it would give you nice flat floors for your interior design.

RC, now I have a couple of minutes to type...didn't have that last night! My bus is actually a 68, not a 69. It's a 35 foot single axle school bus with the Cummins 220 midship engine with a E/F 5-Speed. The rear end ratio is 4.63 so top speed is about 60 mph. I parted out a 72 Crown tandem with a raised roof in progress. I wish I could have rebuilt the bus, but it was too far gone (no windows and left out to the elements). Raising the roof looked simple and straightforward with the exception of the front and rear caps, of course! You can see some raised roof crowns that have solved this problem at http://members.tripod.com/crowncoach/photos.htm I actually had some other pics in mind. If Buskid is out there, do you still have the pics of the silver crowns at San Marcos RV Repair? Those pics would give you a good idea of what the bus will look like afterward. I personally am not going to raise the roof. I kind of like the looks of the bus just the way it is. Besides, I'm way too deep into the conversion to start raising roofs now. Hopefully I'll be posting pics soon. I've been telling Doug this for a while (dougthebonifiedbusnut)! Jim | ||

Hi Jim I still have those pictures, I just took them down off of my web page because the owner of the two buses was really mean to me the last time I saw him. The other Crown conversions I have posted on my web page (http://www.crownbus.com) are of ones without a roof raise - although I have a picture of one that had the last 5 feet of it chopped off! I can re-scan the pictures of the San Marcos ones and e-mail them to you if you'd like. Just let me know. BTW - My Crown is a 1969 that's just like yours, except I have the 671 Detroit Diesel instead of the Cummins 220. The last two Crowns I had came with the Cummins Diesels in them, though. What district did yours come out of? Looking forward to seeing pictures! | ||

Hey Buskid! I have no idea what district it came from. It had already been converted (sort of) when I found it in New Orleans. It was kind of rough and the engine was locked up. It's going to need a lot of TLC, but the old girl has a heart of gold and has safely delivered me from GA to PA and back, as well as to FL in the summer. I'll be putting in 29x54 tinted sliders as soon as I get the galvanized steel to cover the window area. Last owner put regular steel in and it's rusting. So much to do, so little time! The VIN of the bus is 35458, or maybe it's the serial number. What can you make out from that number? I'd be interested to know. Thanks, Jim | ||

Hey, Jim.....Thanx for the additional sites. Enjoyed all the pics, but saw nothing like our Highway Crown. I agree about raisn' the roof. It's not an engineering problem. Just not a logistical situation without a crane, or BIG lifting device. Galey has a concept that might be cool for an Eagle, but the additional Steel down the transition line at the roof is too much for 4 tire jacks.....I was in the Structural Steel Fabrication business....I wouldn't chance it. Think I'll pass unless I find something I have just flat overlooked. The sheet and window mullions are no problem. I think the corners could be a nightmare. You understand I am talking about doing this on my own. Maybe somebody has some great input that will change my mind, but doing it in pieces is impractical for this ole' kid. | ||

It was hard for me, too. My mind kept saying "must have BIG TANKS" but the available space didn't agree. I first moved the air filter into the engine bay which freed up a tremendous amount of room. The filter has it's own housing and takes in cool, fresh air from the side. I then built and mounted a 35 gallon black tank just in front of the driver's rear tire. If you look you will see a support hanging down from the frame on the rear of the stock breather box. I kept this piece of steel intact to help hang the tank since I will have separate tanks. If you cut this out you'd have room enough to put over 100 gallons, if you were to go with a 1 tank setup. I'm not touching the wheel wells at all. I'll actually build the floor up at the back to accommodate them. My sink should go over the rear driver's and a wardrobe should take up the other side. That's the plan, anyway. Always subject to change! Email me direct and we'll talk in more detail. Jim | ||

TANKS , On my conversion I decided I would not loose a single inch of bay space to carry BLACK water around! The solution was two 55G tanks , mounted to the floor. With a low style toilet , one simply is sitting ON the top of the tank , The FW tank is on the floor in same position on other side of coach. Both are 11 in high. If you build your own cabinets this simple system lets you keep the tanks inside , where it's easy to keep warm in freezing weather, no need to heat un insulated bays forever. The dump hose {Dupree valve & hose} does require a "gas fill " style hinged cut out in the coach , and after hooking the hose , a trip inside is required to pull the dump valve , a small price not to have to worry about frozen pipes or give any bay space away. Purchased 55G plastic tanks are UPS able, and were about $150 each. FAST FRED | ||

No here in Fl the Burritos are made from sea cows , the "Sainted Manatee". And the Fahitas are from"Chockaloskie Chicken", Egrits, or Flamingos , both taste just like chicken!! The only pipes I use connect to the tank, as a 50 gal tank is almost 5 ft long , the tank goes from the toilet area to the galley area. Under the galley sink is a garbage disposer that is great for stinky stuff , shrimp cleaning or cantalope , smells after overnite. The tank lays on the floor , secured with outside ply walls and 1 1/2 alluminum angle screwed to stock floor. There are no pipes that go below the floors , into unheated and precious bay space. The dump is a Dupree {worth the $$$] and is reachable from the toilet area. The dump outlet is cut into the coach side , and a hinges lockable door covers the dump access. Yes, with this set up its a 2 step job to dump. Go outside and unlock waste door , remove safty cap , install dump hose. Then from inside pull the dump valve. With a long flat tank its a while before the last trickle of everything is gone , but if the tank is 3/4 full as it should be , there are no "stranded soldiers" . I have a 2in. thru the roof vent , and only use septic starter as helper. There is no odor , and I have never had to use a bag of ice , and driving , to bust soldiers up. I think the 5 ft of free surface does it automatically, a danger in deep tanks . Water from the toilet sink is gravity to the tank , water from the shower is lifted with a bilge pump to the toilet sink . This makes winterizing a simple task of pouring antifreez {drinkable to save the toilet bacteria} into the shower drain , pumping till dry , which fills the J trap under toilet sink , and then overflow drains into tank. Galley sink is winterized with a bit of antifreez to fill J trap after G disposal. FAST FRED | ||

Excellent description. I think I got it. Interesting layout. So you make do with one waste tank? Standard tank or did you make it? Does your shower penetrate the floor at all, even the trap? The head room I have at the CENTER of the coach is only 73" (we're short folks...that's all right, we have fuun) The alternative I see is to cut the floor out and lower the pan, but the more I think about that I'm not sure I want to do it for a variety of reasons, including bay space. Looking forward to finding out more about the Chockaloskie Chicken.....must be quite a first time experience. How does one serve that....? Wonder how it would go with Frijoles?

The waste tank is both black and grey. Its a standard size from a rorocast place , is light and UPS shipable . Fittings are spun in at factory at almost no cost. The shower pan is a cheapo 32X32 from HD that is large enough for us. The $10. bilge pump is in a stainless well , that IS cut into the floor. But its only a 3 in depression so does not eat any bay space. The walls are painted ply , SS will come , when I find the right scrap yard. I am 5-11 and have no hassle taking a shower. The marine hot water heater is above the tank , outboard , and the very short runs to the galley sink or toilet sink/ shower head keep from wasting water. The marine unit has 3 virtues, Built for vehicle use, has safty that saves heating element if juice is on with unit empty, has hot water coil , so if I ever find a Honda water cooled unit , hot water will be unlimited, at no cost to the electric supply.

Honda makes a great RV gen set that is either gas or propane, and water cooled. About $2200 if you buy it right, new. Very easy to get quiet , and the propane lasts as long as the diesel , with out winter start problems , or ever gunking carb like gas jobs. The shower has NO J trap , the sink it emptys in to has the trap. A J trap is to prevent sewer gasses from smelling the coach up. So a bit of water in my shower would fall to the floor, run to the center of the pan and drain into a SS bowl , like a dog bowl. In the dog bowl is a 12v PAR bilge pump{the size of a soup can}. The discharge hose is connected to a fitting on the bathroom sink. So when the shower is on , the drain pump gets turned on. water draining into the lav sink , does go thru the sink J trap, so there is no arroma. FAST FRED | ||

Got the picture.....but....poor dog! Man, you are something at this CE. I thought I was an innovator, but you have me absolutely outclassed...having said that, I had considered a regular small water pump for such a possibility. I have one in a tile cutter (Little Giant by name, that is about the size of a couple of D cell batteries, no more that 2x2x2. Moves lots of water. Just wasn't real sure how to go about a collector. What size line then does it use to the sink drain? Sorta like a dishwasher hose? You have flat saved a WHOLE bunch of plumbing..and freeze problems as I see it....if all is on one side of the bus. ( In my situation, it would have to go under the floor or over the top if it was on both sides. I've seen the Honda propane unit and agree with you about it.. rather than a diesel or gas. Do you, then, intend to run your genset to generate ALL your hot water, or just supplement? Seems to me one would have to coil INSIDE a tank to make it very effective. Looks like you and I are the only ones involved in the subject. Not a very active board, right here, but that's OK. Thanx for the CONTINUED input.

The labels on mine are also worn off, except for the second from the top.
