Every Crown built was a custom built bus. There was no "standard" Crown. So every Crown is just a little bit different.
I have seen just about every combination of engine and transmission. The most common power package combination in the last twenty years of production was the 6-71 with an Allison. I personally have seen more DD's with the RR's than I have the Cummins. Most of the Cummins powered Crowns I have seen came with the Allison.
Standard transmissions became the exception rather than the rule. Road Rangers became extrememly rare due in large part to the fact they are much more difficult (read that expensive) to train drivers to drive them properly compared to automatics. Add to that fact the RR's became a more expensive option than the automatic and you can understand why so few buses were built with RR's.
