Chassis: International Harvester Loadstar
Body: Not sure on this... possibly Ward? Anyone have input on this?

Christopher lives

and dies

in this bus while he's in Alaska, so I'd say it's worth at least four stars.

On the other hand if the vehicle is used as house rather than as vehicle, I am not sure that we can count that as "used" :think:

The better picture shows it isn't an International Loadstar like I thought it was in the other picture, i'm not sure what this is actually.

Looks to be a 1942 Ford B-series, or an F-series with a bus body.

On peut lire le nom de la compagnie d'autobus : "Fairbanks city transit system…" n°142. C'est un piste pour avoir l'info. du constructeur.

Even though it never moves, this bus becomes Chris's home in the Alaskan wilderness

and he dies in this bus


so I think it has an important role.

It's an International Harvester KB-Series of some kind. Too old to be a Loadstar.

We still need to reach a decision on the star rating for this vehicle.

Since no one bothered to comment I decided to give it 4 stars.

1947-1949. This bus was left as temporary shelter during the re-clearing of the Stampede Trail between 1961 and 1963.

This is a 1946 K-5 with a Wayne school bus body. The KB series didn't begin until 1947.
