1970 GMC H6500 School Bus - By John DaPos


GMC used this H6500 cowl for their school bus chassis between the years of 1967-1970 before switching to the C/K version in 1971. John used a Con-Cor bus body and a modified Lindberg Chevy dump truck for the front. Front wheels are Imex and rear wheels are from Athearn. John altered the suspension to accommodate the wheels and tires. He made a "Stop" arm that would have been period correct for the early seventies. Decals are homemade.
