Title: MCI 102A2
Post by: Ednj on January 23, 2008, 04:48:18 PM
Does anyone know if a MCI 102A2 Coach has a drop box?
Compared to a 102A3 you can see they move the drive's to where the tags are,
So there can't be much room for a driveshaft.
There is also an 8' difference in turning radius.

I was told the last MCI made with a dropbox was the 96wide 2axle. But I wouldn't bet my lunch money on it. Goodluck  Tom Y

Ednj: Never be 100% sure with buses. Likely someone will come on and say he has a 102A2 and it doesn't have a dropbox.  A lot of buses seem to be custom built for the original buyer.
