Ride the bus
All school busses are built on commercial chassis shipped to different
body makers. School busses are still made this way today. Autos used to be
made this way.
The brown '37 Chev/Superior below has an
131" WB (SB) chassis making it an easy bus to parallel park, to the terror of
the sports car owner behind me. I drove it to Spokane for the Antique Truck
Historical Society show in 1995. It 
has
camper equipment inside and saved a bit in hotel fees at the event.
This photo was taken while both busses were being used as guard houses at Xmas tree lots. The green Chev/Crown is on a 157" wheel base (SD) chassis and a new cowl has been welded over the original for a smoother body. School bus brochure for '37 Chev School Bus Bodies below shows the 157" WB Superior body that I modified to look closer to my bus with the 131" WB.
