modell ◊ 2006-08-12 07:16	No, I can see slight differences, such as the shape of the window in the door, and the curve above the tire. -- Last edit: 2012-11-29 21:04:56 (karoomay)
firebird86 ◊ 2006-08-12 07:31	youre right, rear fender has a more rounded shape thatn the other bus
modell ◊ 2006-08-12 22:14	It couldn't be the same year, though.

The_bus_guy ◊ 2007-03-17 06:17	the bus is a 1980 to 1983/84 model, chevy/gmc switched to plastic side Chevy C60 V8 or GMC 6500 V8 markes in the 80's from the old C/60 GMC6500 markers
benzguy1986 ◊ 2009-07-08 00:38	Pre 1984 because of the lack of tilt hood but post '77 because of high back seats and lack of support poles and modesty panel.
