The later Kenworth Pacific school buses had an extra pair of front windows below the windshield  -  female school bus drivers were advised to not wear skirts when driving:  https://www.google.com/search?q=kenworth+pacific+school+bus&biw=1235&bih=754&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjo9oWTl8DPAhVdGGMKHXlJDAwQ7AkIKA#imgrc=_ (https://www.google.com/search?q=kenworth+pacific+school+bus&biw=1235&bih=754&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ved=0ahUKEwjo9oWTl8DPAhVdGGMKHXlJDAwQ7AkIKA#imgrc=_)
Look at that low-floor transit bus with a mid engine, and an amazing two-and-a half-decks Kenworth  -  imagine being in that during strong winds or on curvy roads!   The Kenworth Pacific bruck built for the Great Northern Railway is neat.   Anything was possible in those days.

Interesting reading the cities serviced by the 29 KW. My Silversides would have likely been serving most of those cities when it was Y578 with NWGL in Seattle. Neat photos.
