Looks like a GMC TDH with a slightly modified front end

For the record, the truck is a GMC too. Another medium-duty C-series from anywhere between 1973 and 1988.

This is a 1960's Flxible New Look that underwent a slight overhaul.

MY GAWD SNOOKIE.....I HOPE YOUR NOT TEACHING KIDS OR ANYONE ELSE. dO YOU MAKE THIS STUFF UP AS EACH PICTURE IS LISTED????

tHIS IS A EX ORANGE COUNTY TRANSIT DISTRICT FROM 1973 THAT WAS REBUILT FOR UCLA IN THE EARLY 1990'S.

ITS FUNNY THAT YOU ARE SO SURE AS TO YEARS THESE BUSES ARE AND YOUR NOT EVEN CLOSE. yOUR MIS INFORMATION WILL HOPEFULLY NOT BE TAKEN AS GOSPEL AND REPEATED THRU THE YEARS.

iF YOU DONT KNOW ITS BETTER TO NOT CLAIM THAT YOU DO AS THE NEXT PERSON THAT READS YOUR bs MIGHT ACTUALLY BELIEVE IT.

yOU ARE NOT GOOD AT ALL AT GUESSING BUS MODELS OR EVEN WHO MADE THEM.

No need to bombard someone, just because they incorrectly identified a vehicle ...
(whether they identified it to the best of their ability or they simply guessed at it)

I agree Neptune. Our new friend needs to learn a more respectful while expressing his opinions.

First of all, I don't have kids, Second of all, if Ray Charles could guess better than me, so be it, but don't insult me over my judgement. Basically I defaulted to the first year the vehicle was released, a technique I learned from my comrade, Ford_Guy, one hell of a great guy, I may add. He showed me that instead of guessing, default to the year of the first release and availability. And three, learn some manners when expressing your views. I respect you for knowing this information that I previously did not know before, but don't use that to upstage people. (To Antp, I know this is off topic, but I just needed to get that out. I apologize dearly).

Why did they give it square headlights? it was a very beautiful bus, but they made it look much uglyer.
