According to the "Assembly Record Types" spreadsheets, the Ford Motor Company produced 685 school/passenger buses on their assembly line (5/31 - 2/32). The bodies were supplied by Union City.
Ford didn't manufacture any AA closed or open cargo bodies. They were provided by other suppliers. Ford manufactured the 76-A, 76-B and some of the 82-B cabs for the A and AA chassis.
