bus size specifications

Hi Sharkey -
I guess I get to be the first poster (other than you) even though I ddn't register first.
Does anybody know a good source of information on the sizes of various bus models?
We want to start a conversion that we can make comfortable without having to modify the frame at all. We want to raise the roof and maybe widen the body later, but that would require more time and money than we want to put into it at the start. To consider it comfortable, we figure it needs inside headroom of at least 6'-2", and 3-4" of insulation in the ceiling. The only info I've found online so far is Blue Bird's specs for the All-American bus, which I think is a fairly new model. I hope it's not typical, because at 74" inside, with a 77" option, it wouldn't allow me to raise the floor at all, and would barely allow insulation in the ceiling.
Any suggestions?
