If that was actually used as a school bus is would have square windows in it. I think someone chose those rv windows because the arc on the corners nearly matches the oem windshield.

If that was set up as a 4x4 with a good drivetrain it would be perfect.

Still don't know what kind it is. No help.

Never lived up NORTH in the big cities but I would say it was the GHETTO shuttle and the tires and rims were gone the second it stopped and the driver said the heck with this I AM DONE. And the city didn't want to go get it either.
