[T2] Followup -- [Q] Bus Year

[Al Brase]

Body swap? Do you mean a VIN swap? I've been around a body swap or a type
2. Frame swap or bottom clip might be more accurate. Not sure what he has
here. Certainly every 1969 part can be changed to a 1971. Not the front
axle, I guess. But I'd determine what the car is before extrapolating very
far.
