There were 3 conventional buses with a 175hp dt466e and spicer 5 speed (number 70, 53 and 93). They do not have 2 speed rear ends. The second lever near the shifter is for the parking brake. Each had excessive oil leaks, a little more body and frame rust than I would have liked and #70 has a major leak from the differential pinion seal and the power steering pump.

Nothing beats a pair of eyeballs on the ground. You just saved Medico 10-12 hours of driving time.
Early on in my search for a bus, I was told that second lever was for the 2 sp rear.......if that lever always a parking brake? And, if so, where is the shifter for the rear located?
