I just bought this bus. I am not for sure on year but looks like 58 or before to me. Not finding a vin anywhere so far. I am super curious on if this glass is from factory. I've never seen small windows like these. All the labeling in all windows match so I would assume there where all installed at the same time. Any info would be much appreciated. Thanks Eric

The light isn't playing tricks on us is it?, they are completely flat and not curved, right? (love that moss BTW).

DIY prison bus?, they do look like cab dividers.

I think I saw a pic with a Dormobile with that same rear hatch window set up. IIRC, it got a wild paint job.

Anyhow, there are number of windows people put into panel vans. What is the logo on that glass?

Yes it's all flat glass. All the glass on this bus says Sekurit. This bus has strange glass combo going on. You guys should have seen how much moss was on it before I drove down the freeway an hour.

I wonder how many junk yard visits it took to accumulate 3 more cab divider windows?, that's an interesting PO modification, first time I've seen those used there.

Now I wonder if the bad guy bus used the same parts on the sides?

What's your plans for the bus?, looks really solid! Cool
