Pokeoddsponge ◊ 2007-07-28 05:23	Both busses are Thomas Saf-T-Liner C's (1962-2006). One has a Ford B-700 Chassis, the other has an International S-Series chassis. I think we can narrow the Ford chassised one down to 1975-1979 becuase I think around '75 the position of the running lights on the Saf-T-Liner C were moved from the roof to the top of the back as seen here, and the ford B-700 was redisigned for 1980. -- Last edit: 2007-07-28 05:26:47

The location of the cowl insignai convinces me that you're right.
