This Ford school-bus chassis designation appeared as part of Ford’s heavy-duty truck lineup for the 1960 model year, when Ford marketed the B-series bus chassis family with B-500, B-600, B-700 and B-750 variants. The B-750 sat near the top of the range and was aimed at larger school-bus bodies and other heavy-duty bus applications built by coachbuilders. Over time it remained a familiar Ford school-bus underpinnings choice through the 1960s and 1970s, sharing the evolution of Ford’s medium- and heavy-duty truck components as the company updated engines, frames and braking systems. By the 1980 model year, Ford’s school-bus chassis brochure showed only B-600 and B-700 versions, indicating the B-750 nameplate had ended by the 1979 model year. The designation is remembered as part of Ford’s long-running B-series bus-chassis era, which helped supply the American school-bus market for two decades.
