Hey Antp, why don't we put all the New Looks under GMC? |

Some have a GM logo, and as you identify as GM I suppose that it is their make, no? |

Basically, no matter if they say GM, or GMC, they both are made by the same manufacturer |

WRONG AGAIN SNOOKIE.... THIS IS A TDH 5301 IN THE 500 SERIES FOR ACTRANSIT NOTED BY THE LARGE MARKER LIGHTS AND WIDTH BEHIND THE REAR DOOR TO THE REAR WHEEL. |

The 4516 had first generation markers like this, and this bus is clearly 35 feet in length, indicating a 4516, not a 5301, which is 40 feet. |

Look closely at the size of the windows and the space between the rear door and the rear wheels. The bus is obviously 40 foot long and I believe the fuel tanks were in the rear of the 4516's, not in the front like this TDH 5301 www.rts-regionaltransitservice.com |

Is this part of the original order in the 500 series? And wasn't the fuel tank relocated behind the front axle due to California's rear axle weight restriction? -- Last edit: 2008-11-29 03:06:11 |

The California buses had the fuel tanks mounted in the front as there was already too much weight on the rear axle. After the laws changed then almost all of the transit companies here ordered buses with rear fuel tanks. The natural area for a fuel tank from GM was the rear. |

exactly. I remember seeing Los Angeles MTA 5200, a 1959 model 5301 with the fuel door behind the front axle. |
