    Touching story about the former owner. My dad used to name all of our vehicles. I realize they're machines but with all the memories you make in them, it's easy to see the attachment.

    That bus owner has my sympathy. I restored my 66 Mustang over the course of a year, but I rarely drove it because I am always in the truck hauling something. Sold it in May, and cried when the new owner drove away in it. I am always so happy when you get another classic back on the road. You do wonderful work, and always treat others with kindness and humor.

      yeah ill be restoring an old 87 ford bronco here in a year or so, just gota get some extra money up for it to afford some of the stuff, but if i had to sell it my grand pa and me would cry, why my grand pa? bc he daily'd that thing for a good several years before he retied, when he did the truck also went into retirement, well my shop (at the time) had just been built, and grand pa and i, we decided that that old thing would be mine when i got my lisence. well in a act of preserving it we put it in my shop.

      I had an 84 cougar in the late 90s that was mint condition and only had 40k miles (I knew the original owners, I later bought their 87 cougar with 21k miles). I was hit head on in the 84 and sold the 87. Cried like a baby both times. Still causes me pain.

    I drove buses & coaches for 30 years and always loved the older ones. My favorite was one we called "Grandma" because she was the oldest in the fleet - not that we had much of a fleet. I believe she was an MCI MC-6. Another that I loved dearly was an MC-7, "Betty Boop", who would incredibly gain speed going UP Mt Hood! I'd almost swear she had a soul. Kids going to ski would chant, "Go, Betty, go!" and she would chug right past the H3-45s like they were standing still.

    I know everyone loved Phil, but I am ready to watch this with Scott taking the lead, controlling the steps, and making his moves with no one interjecting or second-guessing. That way I know it will get done quickly and done well. Mr Bruner has the positive attitude and pleasant disposition needed to wrestle these beasts. And I have the large screen monitor to see each moment of success - especially when the old Detroit fires up! 😁👍

    This bus is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm so glad that you're going to rescue and restore it to running order!
    Having someone with the necessary experience and expertise to work on the various systems in the bus and whom actually cares about the vehicle is a major part of it seeing the light of day as a working vehicle!
    The original owner will be hugely comforted that his beloved bus is finding a home with someone that cares about them probably as much as he does.

    I'm a long haul trucker. I'm old enough to remember those old buses when they were standard. I'll never get over or get used to them having a red line like a motorcycle. Hearing that more howl on the interstate makes the hair on my necks stand up. I'm just waiting for a piston to launch into space.

    • @SternDrive
      @SternDrive 4 ปีที่แล้ว

      I retired from Greyhound after 43 years. I have driven all of the manual buses. I started with the 4 speeds, which had a huge RPM split, so you would wind them right out until they howled, and then you'd shift and listen to them bog and blow black smoke. Pity the guy following you. Then they improved with the 5 speeds, 6 speeds, and we got rid of our last 7 speeds less than ten years ago. All of these transmissions were non syncro crash boxes which I could shift with one finger, but quite a few of the guys could never shift them and would grind every gear. Ouch! I now drive long haul semi trucks with 13 speed transmissions with a 200 RPM split in high range. Now that's driving!

      @FesterPussbucket 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@SternDrive I really enjoyed my 15+2. Then I made a deal with the devil and got a Columbia with an 8 speed. Horrible on the Appilachian trail or through the Rockies or Cascades. When I went local and hauled mud, I got an old rd6 with 5 gears. It was almost like driving an old silversides I guess. Wind it up to 2300 and bog it down to 1100 to get in the next gear. I never drove a sychronized truck until I moved to Germany. I hated the damn thing. Because Europeans who actually know how to drive an actual truck are either all dead or retired, everything is Xbox now a days. You can take the dumbest most inbred son of a chlamydia infested whore, give him a bottle of vodka, put him in the drivers seat and it will still get there. Just the way the big companies want it. They can pay drivers next to nothing because they are only a tax ID number above the evolutionary scale from chimpanzees.

Anyone that wants to tell you how you should do it should pick up their shovel and join in , sometimes it's about using what you have rather than what you otta have !!!

    The alternator is conventional Leece Niville. Probably 165 amp stator and rectifiers. Looks same as common truck or ambulance back half. Drive end and rotor different because of drive. I have rectifiers, regulator, doide treo, brushes, and bet slip ring is replaceable. Rotor coil will most likely be fine. Don't spend a bunch on it. Happy to possibly help you. Had shop for years, still have parts and testing equipment. Best of luck!
    After taking a 2nd look, back half is the older style. Popular on older ambulance and many emergency type vehicles. Distinctive difference is brush holder and regulator. The reg. Is the aluminum cover on top of brush holder. Later style referred to as Loadhandler, with different brush holder, regulator and com end frame. Rectifiers and stator interchangeable. Excellent alternators.

    huge kudos to you guys, working on that bus in the frigid north. Better now, than next week. I'm ~200 miles south of there, in WI, and next week promises highs 25 degrees below average. Brrrrr.

    A little off topic, but I was watching "A League Of Their Own" the other night and lots of good scenes on that Silversides bus in the movie. You don't see many with all the original interiors like that. Back on topic..............I can appreciate the difficulty factor added to this job by the cold weather. Looking forward to the rest of the rescue.

    I am here because of Dangar Marine. I was just introduced to a 1947 Silverside. It is parked around the corner from my house. I am going to try to document it's restoration. I know a tiny bit about the 71 series engine, I lived on a wooden boat powered by a four-banger and did a little work on it. It should be interesting.

    A great way to spend time up North. Used to go snowmobiling in Wesconsen was a great time. Yep Hoya Hoya Gramps on the couch.

    That bus looks to have major potential. Have to love the Stop sign, and Jakes.

    When you were at the stop sign in Cloquet on Hyw 33, The gas station at the right side of Lenny was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Very famous architect. Fun to recognize your journey to the Hibbing exit as I have a cabin North of Virginia. I enjoy learning from your postings and hear the passion for old buses.

      I would really hope that the “very famous architect” disclaimer is not needed for anyone who reads that.

      @travis allen , i agree with you ,, the silversides is in my opinion the best looking GM bus
      I DO own one , mine is a 47 and it's wonderful to drive ,and gets lots of looks everywhere it goes ,people always ask me about it ,,I caught the BUS Disease a few years ago from a friend after i helped him build a Skoolie but i decided i wanted a motor coach and when this silversides came up for sale at a local auction i just had to have it ,,nobody knew what it was , it needed a few minor things fixed but was drivable after replacing the steer tires and a quick going over ,,, I have learned a LOT since i started watching this channel not long after i got my bus in january
      paid just $8K for my bus but i have spent that easily on upgrades in the last 8 months too

      Sounds like you may want to schedule a meet with BGM so he can " run the rack " on the old girl which means do a tuneup on her. You think she runs good now? Wait till Scott gets done with her.
      By the bye, congratulations on rescuing another silversides from the scrapper. Does yours still have the original hot water heaters intact and operational? We may not like driving in cold weather but better to have operational hot water heaters than not. I've seen propane heaters inside rv's and they in my opinion will kill you as they don't have any exhaust on them. In my time driving an 18 over the road it was normal to roll the hood forward simply so you could either turn the heat on or off depending on what the weather was like you were driving in.
      Congrats again on your find.
