Here are a few pics of the front end of my bus ( GMC SDM5302C050,  1964), the sides and back are a GMC fish bowl(oh how I would have loved that front end, but beggars can't be choosers) but when the roof was raised they "modernized" the front end. Best guess is 80's vintage Prévost, and non guessing answers?

This is amazing! 

I would have only recognized this as a GM suburban by the wheel wells and luggage bays. 

I have a 67 5302, but it is still completely stock.

Seaton and Paso, considering you both have 53 seat fishbowls, any chance you would know where the access for lubricating the shifter rods in the isle floor is located? I really don't want to be poking holes in the floor, if someone could give me a hint as to the location front to back  it would be very helpful to say the least.

From the back it looks much better in my opinion. Trust me if I could graft a fishbowl front end back on it I would be doing it, but finding a front end without the bus attached is probably not an easy find.
