Posting the pix in the thread will get a much faster responce, as someone who might know what it is can see it quicker.

I notice the yellow on most of the front, including the firewall (the tag even note SPCL Paint, School Bus Yellow? ), and also the parts of the cab that are blus don't seem to lline up right or are separating from the rest. Very strange truck.

But the "S" designation is definately a school bus one. | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 275 | That truck has seen better days
