B-Series - Thomas Built

@raji2pac... Conventional refers to a certain type of bus made by several manufacturers...

Thanks for link, for example a Conventional bus can be made from 3 manufacturers at the same time like we suppose to be from Blue Bird/Thomas Built/Chevrolet ?

Yes sir...Blue Bird, Carpenter, Thomas, Wayne, Superior and ward/AmTran all built them...Now all that is left is Blue Bird, Thomas, IC (which used to be AmTran) and Lion (relatively new manufacturer)...

Thank you so much, but i think it's so hard to make the difference between them, for example you can't easily differentiate between a Ford Thomas Built and a Ford Thomas Conventional.

The link I posted says it best - A conventional bus consists of a truck chassis with a bus body mounted on top of it, behind, and attached to, the truck's hood and front fenders. Technically they are the same thing but it is uncommon to use the word "conventional" unless it is done so by the manufacturer of said vehicle, which here in the USA it usually is not. The type shown above is usually referred to as a Type C... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_school_bus_manufacturers (perhaps this will help as well)
