No pictures but is yours a crew bus and has the seats length ways one down each side made out of a steel frame with wooden lats length ways and turn clips to attach cushions and no seat belts very common back then for transporting workers

No, mine is genuine a bus with 4rows with 3 seats each.. It actually looks factory with the mounts and everything.

Unfortunately the roof has collapsed after standing for 19 years, with heavy snow the last years the roof gave after.
Not sure if the roof and body is salvageable, but i will give it a try and try to jack it back up and see how it goes.

Yes that’s factory set up for a school bus some of the crew vans I was talking about didn’t even have side windows
Shame about the roof must have been heavy snow and farther Christmas must have landed on it with a full slay :D
