1976 diesel F-29296
Interior pics would help. Blue Bird used specific materials and components that would indicate factory or not. As to the engine working, My '72 prototype sat neglected for 6 years and started right up with only a new battery. Have put a couple hundred miles on it already.

Help! I can't figure out what I'm looking over:



1976 Blue Bird motorhome body # F-29296(can't find the word Wanderlodge)

It's a diesel, factory service number 125680.



Chassis serial # 9455

Engine # 20147287



It has a diesel Onan 12,ODJC-3CR/2701AA generator and three rooftop ACs. Could those be original?



Is this a "Wanderlodge"?

The ususal fold-down dining table area has a counter with drawers. Could that have been an original option?



Would that be a CAT diesel propulsion engine?



What are the odds of getting engines working again without rebuild after 2+ years of non-start?



I can't find VIN locators and don't find any diesels before 1977 on the vintage Wanderlodge site.



Any help would be appreciated including where to look or whom to call. Thanks!
