MCI 102DL3

[Scott & Heather]

Noooooo! I want a free lunch! :-/  Heather and I are going to keep looking for chassis. I really like Jim Hustons EL3 but it's just likely too much work for us right now. If someone comes across a DL3 with a raised roof, let us know

Scott -

OEM headroom in a DL3 or DL4500 is 78.25" (six foot six), so would you still need a roof raise?

FWIW & HTH. . .

[Scott & Heather]

Yep rj. Right now I have 7 feet of headroom and no ducted air. So I want that much with ducted air on the next coach. I'm spoiled

102DL3 headroom is 82" and same with D4500 and D4505 up to the 2007 model year. For the 2008 model year and later, they changed it to 78.25".

Is that true? Those are not the numbers I've read.

Hi All, I've  been looking all over for the inside headroom of the 102C3 but can't  find it, do you know RJ? And where do you find that?, tom...

on mine it is 77.5 " at the front and 74 " at the rear . Now this is as it is finished . with the heated floor   -1.5 " and I framed down the ceiling down 1.5 " for spray foam insulation . total of - 3 "

so mine was 80.5 " before at the front and 77" at the back when it was in bus form

hope this helps

I just went out and checked our bus, which is a 1990 MCI 102C3.  At the highest point it is 84" and 81" at the lowest point.  This bus shell was ordered with an extra 3 in more than a standard C3. 
Just a word from the old, you can't buy a shell and build one as cheap as you can buy a finished bus.  Lots of the factory conversions were ordered with extra head room.
