Get a truck manual for your size and year chassis.
The bus stuff you figure out on your own, I don't imagine there was ever much of a manual for that part to start with?
The truck manual will cover all the mechanical stuff.

There will be some sort of manual but may be hard to find. i had a 58 Crown built school bus to work on, It had a bus driver opperaters boolet which covered basic features built by Crown not fFord. The Ford manual would have have only been spacific th=o the shop or mechanoc.

So YES, I would imagine Bluebird had their own too. Covering such features as brakes, lights, fans, door controls and al sorts of safety checks for the driver.

Do you have pix? I remember riding a new Bluebird when a kid and it had tinted windows and A/C and radio. Pretty modern for the time.

Just by chance I would visit a school bus maintenance shop. Some buses made in the 70's are still on the road and there is a good chance the bus maintenance dept may have some "manuals" or other literature just sitting on a shelf. Worth a try anyway.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.
