It's called the chair rail and it's how the walls are attached to the floor. You can't remove it without destroying the bus, so ... don't remove it.

These two videos show how your bus is constructed (the video shows an International but Blue Birds and Thomases are built in similar fashion):





Starting at 0:51 in the second video, you can see the chair rail and the ribs of the bus being attached to it.

That's Right

As Musigenesis stated...

(Still shots)


First, the chair rail is attached to the chassis.



Then the ribs are attached to the rail.

Cutting it would disconnect the floor from the walls.
