2150-2155 were formerly units [[Toronto Transit Commission 8010-8117, 8140-8158, 8160-8204 8270-8314, 8320-8369, 8520-8729, 8740-8985|8157, 8073, 8164, 8163, 8166, 8169]] built between 1975 and 1977. They received their body and mechanical rebuild around 1997 to 2000 at the same time and were renumbered as per the order of rebuilding. This rebuild program was intended to produce more units, but it was cut back to the six units listed.
This series of buses is composed of [[General Motors Diesel Division|GM]] [[New Look]]s built from 1975 to 1977. The TTC intended to put more older units through the rebuild program, but ultimately completed six. The buses selected were: [[Toronto Transit Commission 8010-8117, 8140-8158, 8160-8204 8270-8314, 8320-8369, 8520-8729, 8740-8985|8157, 8073, 8164, 8163, 8166, and 8169]]. They were rebuilt from around 1997 to 2000 and were renumbered per the order of rebuilding.  


In addition to receiving a full mechanical and structural overhaul, the buses received a number of other features. 8073's rollsign was replaced with Luminator flip-dot destination signs. The driver's area was enlarged, which took up one passenger seat, and a blacked-out effect acrylic divider was installed to accommodate the newer larger driver's seat. The steering wheel was also replaced with a more modern one and power steering was added to assist drivers in turning. Passenger bench seats had their black vinyl with rose vinyl trim upholstery replaced with brown vinyl. The buses received a fresh coat of paint giving the buses the TTC's current livery. They retained their unique seating layout with more forward facing seats in the rear section.
