The Thomas Rear-Engine Safe-T-Liner isn’t really my cup of tea.

I am posting about this particular Rear-Engine Safe-T-Liner because it is one of the last of the ones that are the older style that were made just before the current newer style with the front end cap that includes the round headlights had gone into production in 2001.

This particular one has a cushion to the driver’s seat missing, and it had suffered a fire in the engine compartment.

This particular one has blue seats and a blue interior (the walls and ceiling being painted blue) as specified by the School District when this bus was ordered sometime during the years 2000-2001.

These Rear-Engine Safe-T-Liners were known for catching fire in their engine compartments, most likely because of the lack of space in the rear engine compartment not really allowing for adequate cooling for the engine.

A Thomas conventional style School Bus on the International 3800 chassis & cowl with the DT360 diesel engine.

This chassis & cowl was produced not too long after the 3800 had replaced the S-Series.

The DT360, DT466, and the 9.0 liter V8 diesel engines, and the MV404 and the MV446 (the gasoline ancestors of the 6.9 and 7.3 liter IDI diesels) and the SV392 are my favorite engines in the International conventional chassis & cowl and transit stripped chassis. For as wonderful as the 6.9 and 7.3 liter IDI diesels and the T444 were in Ford light-duty trucks and in the Econoline, I’ve never liked them in International Medium-Duty trucks. And nor have I ever liked the problematic VT365 and MaxxForce 7 diesel engines in International Medium-Duty trucks.

I’ve also never cared for the SV345 gasoline engine.

I also like the ancient International FBC/RED 401, RD406, RED 450, and RD501 inline-6 gasoline engines.

And I also like the International LV401, LV461, LV478, LV549, V537, and V605 gasoline engines that were used in their Class 8 Heavy-Duty trucks, some of their heaviest Farm & Construction equipment; and was also industrialized for third-party manufacturers for usage in standby generators and the like.

The world would be a better place without tattoos, end of story.

Just like how the world would be a better place without sports.

More photos of Fifth-Wheel trailers.

The types of hitch required to tow a Fifth-Wheel trailer-a Fifth-Wheel hitch mounted to the bed of the truck or a Gooseneck hitch mounted to the bed of the truck with an adapter for the Fifth-Wheel receiver.

Another one of the last TC/2000s ever made before it’s discontinuation in late 2004.

If you’ve been following this blog, you know that I don’t care about sports, end of story; and I would like to transform fit and muscular men into being fat and overweight, status quo.

The world would be a better place without sports.

The one and only quality about NBA player Steve Nash that I like, that is; as I have an interest in the Commonwealth nations-including South Africa and Canada, and that most of the population in the Commonwealth nations are of English, Scottish, and Welsh descent; that Steve Nash is a South African of English extraction.

Steve Nash and his family had moved to Canada from South Africa when he was a child.

This is also the only quality that I like about NBA player Cameron Bairstow-that as Australia is a Commonwealth nation, and as, again; most of the population in the Commonwealth nations are of English, Scottish, and Welsh descent; that Cameron Bairstow is an Australian of English extraction.
