Ok the Brockway school bus is freakin awesome I have always wanted to take a Blue Bird conventional body and put it on an R400 chassis.

Outside at the moment. Have trusses and steel for 38x70. hopefully i get it up this fall and hopefully can shoehorn the bus in there...Brian

Sounds like a plan. I have seen the small bus owned by Peter Grimm. Any idea how many other Brockway buses might be still around?

It doesn't cost anything to pay attention.

I was invited to ride along in this great 1965 Brockway 257 last fall. It is powered by a Detroit 6-71 connected to an Eaton 5 speed and two speed rear end. Great truck cruising through some beautiful scenery in the Finger Lakes of NY. Thanks to the owner Kyle Maslyn for this awesome experience.
