Hey now, who says our busses break down?  As I recall that head has been 
sitting on the shelf for quite awhile now.  
Insofar as this split nose, on a bay bus.. Just buy a split if you want one!  I 
think a split nose on a bay just looks fugly.  If you want the later bay 
features, get a brazillian fleetside from the mid 70s.. Split bus looks with 
bay parts (mostly).
