What's the deal here? Our church bus, an '86 Chev. (B6 Chassis) uses an
Allison automatic, no park position. A civilian vehicle built for
civilian use.

I have a Jeep Cj5, and roam a lot of junkyards. What I have noticed is
that the Jeeps that are in serious accidents are usually no more than
1/4 damaged. That is, only one corner, side, etc is damaged. The
Sammies, etc typically have damage extending throughout. Example: one
that has been t-boned will usually have extensive body damage on the
opposite side, not to mention that the two seats are about two feet wide
combined.
