Not quite what you expected to find - Eh. Circa 1950's International Panel Truck.
This was the first school bus in Fentress County, thanks to the Cook family who lived on this mountain and walked to school.
My neighbor, whose Grandfather owned this mountain, said it was so much better than walking down the mountain, through the woods for an hour or so to get to school, especially with snow on the ground. My neighbor's Dad is the one who bought the truck and converted it to a bus. At that time there were no paved roads up here only mud. He said many a time they'd wait for a team of mules to pull them out of a quagmire. This truck sat just opposite my property until a couple of years ago when he sold it. It either went to the recycle center or hopefully, to someone who will refurbish it. Still has original tires on it.
