All, I was replaceing the 30 year old rubber brake lines on my '66 last night and spent some time looking closely at lots of other things while I was under there (nothing like working at night in the dark with a portable light to see the details of the underside of a bus!) and noticed that there are a couple of sound dampners (apparently) on the heating air ducts above the transmission. I don't remember my '72 having any such sound dampners. Are the heaters on '68 thru '79 busses louder than early busses? Or perhaps the sound dampning is done somewhat further along the heat pipe on these later busses? Anyone know? By the way, I didn't have any trouble replaceing the brake lines which, as far as I know, were working fine but, call me over cautious, I figure they were old enough and serve a sufficiently critical function that replacement might be wise.
