hello.

Brake fires usually consume the tire.

I suspect something in the space immediately behind the axle with the wheel wells providing the outlet for the smoke.

Broken windows in space above, and the lack of real fire damage pictures of the area behind the driver.

A quick re-wire job and down the road you go?

happy coaching!

Somebody got a deal - it sold for $710!!

Anybody got their FMCA January issue handy? Looks like it belonged to member #70309.

Also - note the computer in one of the interior pics. Maybe a bbs busnut??

Sad to see it on a hook, and at a salvage auction.

FWIW & HTH. . .

Guy's,

This bus looks like the same bus that my uncle owned for 25 years... I know that he sold it some years ago though.
Thoose fmca #'s are not valid anymore unless someone has a old Jan addition. I will have to make a phone call to my uncle....

Nick-
