Yes I 've done a search in the Classifieds, Yes I've researched just about every Bus Parts Business known to modern Man. So help me out fellow Bus Drivers.
I need the Passenger side plastic end cap for a 1978 front bumper. It holds or cover ups the end of the rubber impact strip. Mine was damaged on shipment from California to Florida imagine that!
Here's a pic of what I'm talking about
Anyone?? Thanks,

Did ya try Busted Bus??
I did see that Bus Depot sells new bumber impact strips (for $100 or so, not bad). Perhaps they can get replacement parts for them as well?? |

I think I have what you need. Check out my classifieds. One side of the end cap is missing but I think the side you need is still there. I will have to confirm that though. Send me a PM.
