| | | | | Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2005 Posts: 2,557 | looks like the windshield and the warning or running lights are different between my pic and olys pic.Could this be because of different bus manufacturers ?

As far as the warning lights, it could be that also, but usually it is the laws of whatever state you're in that determines where those are located. Nowadays, that's pretty much standard, but it didn't always use to be that way. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 16 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2004 Posts: 16 | It looks like a 40 to me, even tho paperwork mite say otherwise. 40's had the thicker top grille bar like this one has. 39's had a thinner top bar. | | |
