EC"s little shorty is defimnitely a nice rig!! bluebird makes nice shorties too however most of them have the "short" height.. if you look at a school bus most often you can see "tall windows" or "short" windows.. the difference is usually 6" in ceiling heght.. 6'0 vs 6'6 in many cases..

I have one of each.. and the differencde is definitely noticeable when walking around inside..

chicken busses.. - they typically buy the most mechanical non electronic diesel busses they can get hold of.. there are newer busses exported, however a DT-466 mechanical brings the most money and likely has a huge following.. as do all of the cummins mechanicals... im sure that as time goes on electronics will be more commonplace.. however many many of the pics I see are of navistar chicken busses as opposed to freightliner or GMC..

to me the chickens are badass!! as im not converting my busses to campers or living space.. (one is a mobile DEV lab) (other is my tricked out daily driver).. so I love what they do to chicken busses.. not sure id ride one since im told they are often overloaded and dont always take the most travelled routes..

The Thomas I sent you the link to *MAY* even have 6'6" headroom. Its got as much as you get in a school bus from the factory, for sure.
I keep all the info private till I win, lots of lurkers on here.
