if she could talk the story's she could tell

i sure dane scott will have that mci bus movin on with smokey and the bandit a chasing it pass the old truck stop in no time sir

Man I would love to have something like that too take it on a tour around the country and visit all 48😊

BTW.. on our way back from Iowa my dad began to feel ill.. the first rest Stop we stopped at he took a spill but we eventually got back on the road and got as far as South Bend Indiana.. we had all we could handle to get him into the hotel room so we took him to the ER there to get him well enough to get him home which we did.. the following morning after we got him home we took him to the VA in Syracuse NY where he gets medical service where he is now recuperating... As it turns out he had a mild stroke,mild heart failure, fluid in his lungs and Pneumonia... If you could keep him in your prayers I would appreciate that.. thank you..

Love his collection!!

Lots of cool 😎 vintage iron!!

Cool 😎 that the Truck Stop from White Line Fever is still in existence!!

You could take a nice field trip with a few fellow truckers to the Living History Museum aka The Brockway Museum in Homer NY which is about 40 minutes south of where I live in Syracuse NY.... you can stop on your way and pick me up too 😆!!

The Challenger emblems kinda look like the enblems on the 70 to 74 Dodge Challengers...

Nice Progress on Grasshopper. Can't wait til you get him back on the road!!

A cool 😎 addition to the fleet!!. You could take a bus trip with some fellow truckers to the Iowa 80 Truck Stop and Museum in Wolcott Iowa as well as other places!!

Just got back from the National Farm Toy Show in Dyersville Iowa... Of course we stopped at the Iowa 80 Truck Stop in Wolcott Iowa.. think I took over 100 pics of cool vintage iron!! Almost any rig you could think of!!

The t

You’re holding out on us - tell us about the motor in the MCI. I want to go through the “Dane Scott time management course”. You get a lot done ! A week with Dane Scott would be cool.

Hellow Dane good luck buddy

Dane that was a cool video really enjoyed it and I remember pulling into the triple T many times when I was running out west thank you for the memories

Detroit

I grew up stopping at TTT my grandfather owned Morgan tire we provided all their used tires from early 80s - late 90s I got to see it in its hay day back then they had truck terminals in Van Horn TX El Paso , Deming NM a small one in Lordsburg NM and TTT. The TTT was the nicer of all of them. Back then the TTT Shady Grove in Road Forks NM and the Petro on east side of El Paso were the top dogs in my opinion in that part of the country. We. Delivered tires as far as the Truck terminal in Indio CA it was pretty cool two. The Union 76;across I-10 from Petro in El Paso was no slouch either but it was really a greasy spoon compared to Iron skillet

Awesome bus 🚍, sounds like you are coming down sick 🤮.

Love the mobile truckers lounge idea.

What did you think of Moonfire? I Couldn't finish it

Awesome Dane I have to look and see if I have any Greyhound patches👍👍

Cool bus Dane👍.

Have never made it out Arizona way, but this is reminiscent of the old Dixie Trucker’s Home truck stops in Illinois. Individual bunk rooms, shower rooms upstairs, tv lounge and a FANTASTIC old-style restaurant with a “Truckers Only” section. The one in Effingham is long gone, was a good place to stop for the longest time. Far better than the “travel plazas” were stuck with now….

Dane nice bus great video👍

Is there no way to repair those cracks on the old school steering wheels?

Virtually all buses before 1981 have the usual Spicer 4-speeds. It was about 1981 when the Fuller 5-speed came about for buses, which is much better, although in a bus, I prefer automatic. I love MCI coaches the most, especially the dash 9 model. Trucks, buses, beer, and women for me! Hope you come around the South Bend area in that thing when you get it fixed up.

Hey buddy, didn't see a mention of this channel so check out Bus Grease Monkey. He works on mostly busses with Detroit's especially the old Greyhounds also does chassis work on MCI, Prevost etc at his house in Tennessee. You can learn a lot from his channel. Congrats on the new ride. Long time subscriber. Love your videos. Peace

Is it powered by a Detroit 8V71?

That's pretty 😎 Cool! Truckers Lounge on wheels.. The TTT is truly iconic westcoast trucking history. Thanks for sharing the time you spent there. The old dock in the back was where drivers would blow ice onto their produce loads...

Aaahhhhh Yeah a Classic MC5 . I know them well. Good buses . Detroit 8V-71 spicer 4 speed. Double clutching all the way.not you want to make it Greyhound in Pepsi livery red , white and blue. Some MC5’s did have black around the windows to match the MC7 and in coming MC8’s. What seats you get rid of please sell. Do not throw away. Those seats are so hard to find. For those that wish to make a vintage coach seated again. Best video ever

Does this bus have a Detroit Diesel? And getting manuals to go with any vehicle is always a good thing.

when I started in 80s every major truckstop had a room with a load board usually a big room with telephones all around probably 100 phones and we still waited in line to call a broker .

Well, the bus is certainly a new direction for the Trucker's Lounge. The only thing I'm still a bit sad about is that you don't have any more Astros now with the sale of Blue Jay. I grew up seeing Astro trucks almost every day of my childhood and teenage years, since I grew up beside a GMC truck dealer and garage

Cool truck

You have definitely lost your mind Dane lol now you need a bigger boat house for it

Make your coach more driver friendly with a 9 speed or 10 speed........or Allison automatic . In Australia about 2008, most tour busses had manual trans . 8V71 power train with straight in drive ? Since I have 2 daughters in Tucson area, I've eaten at triple T several times....in that older dining area shown !

Back in the eighties I bought some chicken lights for under the cab and bunk in their truckers store. I had a Kenworth W900A extended hood hauling a covered wagon. I live in upstate NY and I was headed to LA. Those were the good old days.

Love the bus, Dane- I’ve always wanted a GM fishbowl or that era MCI, they’re iconic. Congratulations!

Will the bus pull Serge, BlueBerry or Grasshopper on a small trailer?

A mobile trucker's lounge, neat! Yeah, still has that 1960's vibe. Kudos to you keeping the 60's look.

Love the bus!

What’s the power? Detroit? Thanks for all your videos! 45 years trucking.Im in Toledo area out in the country. I’d love to meet you someday!! Yeah Buddy!
