Wayne Lifeguard body. 1975 or after. |

Yes. Probably '74 to '76. Ford grease-seals on the front axle on spoke wheels was larger and stuck out more on the '77 to '79 full size bus chassis. Can't be after '76 because it does not have "high back seats" which went into law in April of 1977 - giveaway is the use of support poles instead of seat barrier behind the driver and front service door. |

That cowl was around as early as 1973. |

Has to be at least 1974 as Wayne Lifeguard buses prior to '74 had a fixed window in the last row that was triangular shaped. |

I drove a 74 Wayne (66 pass) and we had several 77 Waynes (66 pass) and Wards (36 & 54 pass). The operator's control panel in those was straight and leaned toward the windshield at about 60 degrees. In Bill Murray's close-up you can see the plastic coated door handle and the operator panel is the later caddy-corner version from the late 70's. Our 77's also had short seat backs and the padded poles but I believe that is because the chassis's were made in early 77, before compartmentalization went into effect but they were bodied and delivered later. We also got ours over the summer so they were in service on day one. Our 78's were Bluebirds (65 pass) and Wards (53 pass) and they all had tall seats. Most regulations apply to the chassis build date and I believe these did too. |
