1964 Chevy Blue Bird Bus"Bessy"
This beauty is my 1964 Chevrolet bus. My buddy has had it for the last 25 years and I finally got it off him a while back. I came across it about 20 years ago tho. So, for six months I have been trying to get anything on it I can. A a nice gentlemen told me about stovebolt.com. One day with this group here and I have gotten more answers than the last six months from anyone and any dealership or even the factory it came from.
My kids have come to name her Bessy, and we absolutely love her. I have tried to do as much research as I can. I have called Blue Bird (body maker) and tried to get what info I can on it. The only thing I could deduce is that the body came from the Georgia plant and the chassis is a good ole c60.
As far as Bessy as a whole, she spent most of the '90s running tubers back to the tube house for a river floating company in Wyoming. Late 99/00 she found her way to an auction house and my friend was the lucky recipient.
The conversion to a medieval / camping RV began. There are beautiful iron works shelves made by a third-generation welder lining the back. There is a bench seat that spans four or five windows on the passenger side and two seats on the driver side both fold into beds and it makes a wonderful camping experience.
I plan on fixing her as much as I can. Restoring it and perfecting it. Then traveling in it going to see different things and enjoying the nostalgia.
I will certainly be adding more pics.
