The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot '60-'66 Trucks Need info on 1966 Chevrolet Apache BlueBird.

Please help. I cannot find ONE image or link to this bus anywhere on the net. When I contact Blubird they don,t even call or email. Is she this rare ? Very thankful for your time.

no it's not rare, ptobably quite similar bodies put on all make truck chassis back then - BlueBird supplied conversion bodies, now they make the whole thing I don't think there's been a BlueBird bus body on anything but their own frame in a long time - and now they belong to some other corp, doubt they'd even have any info on your bus body

might try here, might be a similar bodied bus, even some GM

iso ride come on over to skoolie . net and start a thread on your bus lots of help and bus conversion talk over here your bus looks great! My thread is here in conversion projects "new menber 1965 chevy".Mine is a Thomas,thats the first BB ive seen timbuk

ISO, I'm confused by your use of the term "apache" in relation to your '66 truck/bus. Apache was discontinued from the Chevrolet truck lexicon at the end of the 1961 model year. Does your cowl carry the Apache name? Did BlueBird use that to describe the bus conversion? Not trying to be picky, but this is where we want to clear up confusion on the 60-66 model range.

actually 'Apache' wouldn't apply regardless, that was the designation for the light trucks only, 1/2-1T

Well, the guy that mucked up my engine with his robo wrist told me it was an apache series. GM Vintage and Bluebird cannot trace the numbers ex V.I.N Factory etc. They are stumped as well. Soooo I guess the hood is after the 66 apache truck ? Can I just get on with this !!??....lol. Anyways I need a 63 manual with a 66 supplement manual I was told by GM Vintage. Ok,...this is where I drink every drop of booze in the house on the hood of the bus and watch the stars till the crows peck out my eyes in the morning. zzzzzz zzzz zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

yes the 63 manual is the one you want no big deal you can get them and the 66 suplement one also the key one is the 63.What motor is in your bus? Looks shorter than mine and the body is quite different.These went to the bus manufactorer as a cab/chassis and was built on that.Doubt it is a super rare one,but how many are left is the question!
