Right from the Horse's mouth (Russel Kuck) owner of one of the buses...

Russell's (rear one) is GM 4107 1967, the other (front one) is Mike O'Rourke in his 4108A.

The GM's with roof raises and keeping the small windshield just don't look right it takes away the character of the buffaloes. I saw Marv at Sundance conversions in Utah doing a 4905 roof raise and cap it looked ok but he raised the windshields and drivers area

I have seen it done with a 6 inch section in the waist of the coach,, looks better but a ton of work also..>>>Dan
