I rode on some 1986 and 88 Wayne Lifeguards and they had black painted stepwell like this one, the earliest I can find a picture of the later grey painted stepwell was 1992. It might have been changed in 1990, because the door handle was also changed in that year. Also the school district I went to had some 1993/1994 and 1994/1995 Thomas school buses with Ford chassies, and these had a different newer side badge not inside the rectangle but with "B-700" in bold letters above and "Diesel" in the rectangular part. So in conclusion this bus is most likely from before 1990.
