Welcome to the forum!

Based on my lurking, you can save yourself a lot of calls by adding a certain amount of information folks are sure to ask:

Which transmission? It might not make a big difference to many, but to some the Allison 545 will not work. It would be good if you could tell us.

Air brakes? Again, to some it is not critical, but to others feel they need 'em.

Miles? Might make a difference to some.

Frame rust? Usually a deal-killer: if it's not too bad perhaps folks will not run. Perhaps post photos? To do that, post 'em on Photobucket or some such and then get the actual image link (***.jpg) and use it with the photo icon above the text entry block where you post your message.

And where are you? I'm a LOT more interested if you're nearby...

Thanks!

the transmissions will have a Tag on them.. a metal tag usually on the passenger side.. you can wipe the grime off and engraved in the metal will be an ID like AT545 or MT643.. if they are automatics in that year will be the only 2 which were used in school busses that I know of... Most likely Ohio busses are AT545's..

I have a carpenter that came out of Tipp-City ..

when you say 2 are 366T.. are you talking about chevy gasoline 366 motors? or Navistar DT-360's? im assuming the other 2 are Navistar DT-466 mechanicals?

Mechanicals would have no electroic computer attasched to the side of the engine.

Again, welcome to the forum! LOTS of good stuff here, and by way of example let me reference this link to help ID your transmissions.
