No Dana 30... What you need to make is a dana 35 steering axle press the dana 30 tubes into a Dana 35 center and you'd have way Moore strength in the center section..
There are a lot of used utility trucks around in truck scrap yards. Most have a divorced transfer case, and 9-10,000lb froont ends. Rockwell, Marvin., etc. If you already have a leaf spring front, then it will be realtively easy. The wheel patterns will fit also. Watch utility auctions. Many go for below $5k, and you can strip what you need.
Haha! MR LR was trying to help keep the jackals here in line. :shaking:
Try Boyce Equipment. Their prices aren't the best, but they are a real business with a huge warehouse and inventory. They can probably set you up with the right axle, and arrange shipping.
Rockwells would probably be the most ideal axles, however you may be able to source axles locally from a Unimog, Volvo, or MAN 4x4 truck with less hassel.
For the transfer case something from a duece and a half (M35) will be your best bet. I think they came with a rockwell transfer case. It is possible that they have one with the same engine your bus has. You could possibly need a transmission along with the transfer case.
