Helpful Expert Reply:
We do have a few Class V trailer hitches available that are designed for the 1996 G30 chassis, such as the Draw-Tite # 41946, but I am not sure they will be a good fit for your Blue Bird School Bus. The bolt holes on these hitches will match up to the frame on your vehicle, however since it was converted to a bus, its body will likely affect the fit of a custom trailer hitch.
For this reason, I instead recommend looking into a weld-on, heavy-duty hitch that has a universal design. Something like the Draw-Tite Ultra Frame Service Body Trailer Hitch # 41990-07 may be a good option. This is a Class V hitch with a 16,000 pound towing capacity and it will fit frames of up to 44 inches wide. 7 inch tall, weld-on mounting brackets are included.
I have attached the written installation instructions for this hitch, along with a link that will take you to our available selection of heavy duty hitches like this one that you can look through.
