  Wondering if anyone would have info on a MCI 5B?  This is what the seller sent me, got to late to call and ask any questions.

  ser# s11394  model mc-sb  unit # 7156

I couldn't find it on the MCI delivery list, lots of gaps there. My 5A isn't listed there either.
Used to own a 1968 MCI 5A and a 1977 5C.

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.
