Front page photo

[Jeff Miller]

Just the three under front-page photos.

In the side photo you can see the grille behind the RF wheel. I
suspect that the bumpers were either rusty and painted, or replaced
with cheaper non-chrome bus bumpers, I don't see the driving light
holes in the front.

The size of the genny door also is the larger FC35 one, not enough
space on the FC33, and the grille on the left side of the genny door.
Hard to see the grillework with that wrap on the coach, there might
even be a cornering light under the wrap as it could legally be
covered with perforated or solid.

Your '82 doesn't have the antenna lift either? Is yours about a
November '81 build date?
