Craig Gillingham nailed it as close as you will get without reading the data plate (or the emblems on the side if they are still there.

 

It is an R-series International. They start at R-110, a half ton pickup, and get steadily bigger from there. R-160 is about 2 tons or so, and probably about right for a school bus. . .

 

 

Thanks Bloo!  Great information.  If I ever get data plate info or any other answers, then I'll update the thread.

My best guess is that it was a 50's IHC R-160.

 

Craig, thanks, I think you are correct!  I poked around a bit and found a photo of a '55 IHC.  It has many similarities but is not the same year (or model?) (see photos in this post). I'll keep searching... if anyone has any more insight, I'd appreciate it!
