I was looking through a 1968 Chevy truck salesman's guide, and found the answer. In 1968, Chevy made wide track front axles standard on all S series school bus models. These 5-7,000 lbs. front axles allowed tighter a turning radius (important in a long school bus) and required the wider front fenders usually seen on 60 series tandems.
