Title: Information on an old Bus?
Post by: artvonne on January 28, 2011, 04:09:44 PM

I couldn't find it on the MCI delivery list, lots of gaps there. My 5A isn't listed there either.

Your unit number fits into the gap on angelfire between 1974 and 1975.

The unit number is build order, the serial number was assigned in an office someplace in relation to administrative issues, when you ordered, when you paid, or some such thing unrelated to when the coach actually got built and/or delivered.

happy coaching!

  I got some more pics, and I highly doubt that story myself. But it is a bunk bus. It has like 12 bunks, a sink (no pooper), two roof airs, and not much else. It may even still have the original road air, as the pipe runs along the floor are still in it.
