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.

If and when we do get a Class 3 pickup truck and a Fifth-Wheel trailer in “Early Life And Continuous Livelihood” and we travel to Vermont stay there for a little while in the Fifth-Wheel trailer, these are either of the 2 campgrounds we’d stay at for a month or two.

Another rear-engine TC/2000.

This one happens to have stainless steel wheel liners fitted to it, which personally do not suit my fancy.

Only the archetypical steel wheels painted black suit my fancy when it comes to a School Bus. Particularly the Dayton wheels and not the Budd wheels.

This single-story house plan would require the modifications of the remaining 2 auxiliary bedrooms to be suited for permanent usage, and the addition of a 4th bedroom.

With these modifications, this house plan would be doable for building a house that my parents, I, and my paternal grandmother would move into together.

This house already has a 3-car garage, and the breezeway connecting the house to the detached garage is pleasing.

In fact, we would prefer a detached garage over an attached garage, but an attached garage is not what you would call a ‘deal breaker’.

These house plans I would be glad to call home. The front porch and the front entryway feel very welcoming.

Of course, these floorplans would need modification to be doable for consideration as a house we’d build to move into with my paternal grandmother. A 4th bedroom for one, and the modification of the garage into a 3-car garage in the case of the 3rd plan to be linked below.

Then again, getting a multi-story home like this wouldn’t be our first choice unless it had an elevator.
