Bringing home the silversides

This weekend we drove from Indianapolis to Nashville to pick the Bus Grease Monkey and head to Charlotte North Carolina to pick up my silversides and take it back to the property.

That old girl still wants to stretch out and run like a greyhound remember you may take these old buses out of the Greyhound fleet but you will NEVER take the Greyhound out of that old girl. Really want to see her haul like she did 70+ years ago. Bravo wonderful!

[@bill8582]

That is amazing, watching you guys drive an antique bus all that way, and no telling how long it sat where it was, before you guys went to get it, and no real problems coming home. I really enjoy watching these videos, hoping to get a bus of my own some day.

[@Pauls-World]

Nice rescue Tyler. I bought a 4106 because I watch your dad’s channel. You’re a super nice straight up dude. I’m gonna subscribe. Be safe and take care.

[@ronaldbertin9455]

Love both you tube videos

[@jamesshanks2614]

Next time you do a retrieval bring several fuel filters with you so you don’t have to hunt for filters. Tyler, congratulations on hitting it out of the park, I’ve never seen one that old start so easily without blue smoke. I do believe Dad is jealous LOL Ugly old sucker that needs a little tic to the body but when the rv conversion is finished it will definitely turn into a swan. The thing I like about 3751’s is they are 12 volt instead of 24 which means cheaper electrical parts and lights. Be advised in case you didn’t know that led headlights use 90 percent less power than analog bulbs while providing brighter headlights. Again congratulations on the purchase of the bus. It’s a winner. Food for thought

[@ronaldbertin9455]

As a 50 year trucker at 31 minutes in this video is the preferred distance to follow , I continually tell tail runner to leave more space ,, if you can talk to him , that's close enough

[@chadwoodward5024]

Tyler that’s cool. I’ve seen your dad‘s video of this, but it’s neat to see it from your perspective after all it is your bus.

[@fredrickemp7242]

should put an Equalization hose between the two tanks with a valve on it

[@headonz]

wow ,it runs so clean !!?

[@anttimaja9931]

Aatelinen buss 💪👍❤️🇺🇸

[@fredrickemp7242]

671 very Reliable but they never seen a hill that they liked.they slow down just looking at a hill

[@tutekohe1361]

Was that a straight 6 92 Detroit in that bus? I didn’t know they made them. I have never seen one here in New Zealand. Great video, I enjoyed the beautiful countryside.

[@mrtomdorn]

Would a air scoop at the radiator intake grill would help any to reduce water temperature also an extra electric fan to exhaust the engine compartment heat out.

[@barryconnor7766]

Be nice for you to let us know what route you are on and which direction

[@squintin480]

When you passed over the green River gorge you noticed the drop...i always hold the wheel tight when I cross that bridge. Scares me sometimes lol

[@mylenh]

16:00 is literally 5min from my house looks so weird seeing it on KZbin

[@smiffy1071]

Congratulations Tyler on your new project! I feel envious, and excited for you. I can’t wait to see what plans you have for the interior, and exterior.

[@The_Smith]

even from the rear those are beautiful looking pieces of rolling art.

[@Nikkofus]

Congratulations for the bus. Nice ride.

[@justinwoodlee1062]

I dont see you fixing that bus up. It looks like its going to be a large job to get it in half the shape of your dad's. But good luck to you if you or when you start working on it.

[@38score17]

Thanks for taking us along on your adventure!!

[@terrymjinks]

Love the on-the-go videos as much as the on-the-job videos.

[@rosswhatley5695]

Congrats on your bus. I wish you another happy million miles with Larry.

[@ourrustybuswithtommodzon-s3923]

So glad you got Larry home safe! I miss my old Silversides. Someday we will own another. Can’t wait to see what you do with him! Good luck!

[@terrystewart2070]

Loved it! Time to get back on all those shop projects now.

[@jesperdahl1486]

Of course we follow both you and blancolerio, why wouldn`t we ? he is awesome at describing what goes on in the world of aviation (and with dams) congrats on the bus

[@timgraves5498]

Black Mountain is Tough, Larry did good going up that. My MCI-7 when I had a 4 speed in it was a second gear climb. Black Mountain is a killer. It did well I am impressed

[@ash7700]

Thanks or the ride! Nice job on the Black Mountain Grade!

[@alloutofbubblegum8165]

I'm really looking forward to seeing you rebuild Larry.

[@ronaldotto7851]

Hopefully you can find a fan shroud.

[@TXDeathInvestigator]

So happy to see Larry make it home to Tennessee!

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

Hi Tyler, You lucky to have a dad like him. I don't want to go into my personal life, but mine was different. He seems like a awesome man. I had the chance to shake his greasy hand once (he wanted to clean it but I insisted). I'm sure you will have a wonderful bus. You got your work cut out for you. Good luck. I was just in Nashville last week, wow. I have a Wanderlodge. The radiator / fan is the same way. It's a unit and one thing wrong your stuck. My buddies loose hydraulic fan motors or the radiator and bam. It's usually a week on the side of the road camping and fixing or a hugely expensive landoll tow.

[@ToomasTelling]

thats an Awsome ride you got there :) been following the whole story from your side and your dads side :)

[@Tiger351]

Glad you got the bus home without any dramas, you had enough of those last week.Looking forward to seeing the build out and maintenance videos in future.

[@mkbarber65]

Congratulations on getting the bus home, it’s gorgeous and I’m looking forward to seeing you repair it and fit it out. Have fun with it and don’t rush, it’s more fun to enjoy the build.

[@38911bytefree]

Love the ride. Well done !!!

[@andytrubridge5310]

Great video, looking forwards to updates on the bus...

[@northstar2007]

Congrats man on getting her home! it's a beauty of a bus!

[@frankpagel2329]

Good looking bus Tyler. I have been thinking about getting one. I’ll be sure to stay on your list and watch your videos.🤠

[@bcherbs]

On a road trip being followed by a mechanic, talk about a relaxing trip.

[@jeffersonspace]

Thanks Tyler for the play by play. Henry, and Lenny remind me of the Curtis C46,s and C47's (Commando, and Dakota). Keep em flying.

[@billmoran3812]

The old front wheel rims look like the original factory rims. They had just the two holes like that. I believe they were larger in diameter than modern ones. Probably worth saving.

[@wi11y1960]

Larry looks like he has a good home now

[@MrDexcars]

Hi Tyler great video the bus did amazing but the flat bed earned its corn the last few days and sound sweet for the mileage certainly earns its keep thanks for the video really glad you got your bus home now the exiting work begins Regards to all Derrick

[@AlisonFort]

That was great - thanks Tyler❤️

[@robertbrady9597]

ho to you great video on here today

[@Patriot1776]

You and your dad have now officially been on some of the roads I have been on, Tyler, in Western North Carolina! ^^

[@Patriot1776]

You got any video of passing through Asheville, Tyler? I've been there several times. If y'all had taken the US 74E exit you would have found yourselves on the Great Smoky Mountain Expressway headed toward Sylva, Bryson City, and Cherokee. I live much farther west than that. Chattanooga, TN and Cleveland, TN are the closest TN towns to me.

[@Patriot1776]

Also, bit of a question Tyler. I've never gotten to ask this on the livestreams I've been able to catch, but what are the axle ratios on both Lenny and Larry? I'm curious since their gearboxes only have 4 gears and there are no swap options.

[@williamisch]

Very Nice Bus congratulations u and your dad make a Great Team :)

[@charlesmair26]

A great video Larry's now in the fold...!

[@2flyabove]

Does it still have a functioning Pony motor for the AC? Not many still do! Glad you had a safe trip. Cheers.

[@Spyke383]

It has the pony motor but it doesn't work. Sage is getting mine

[@squintin480]

At 16:40 you kinda drove past my house!! Would have loved to see that bus close up! And don't feel too bad...when I haul a 200 excavator up the first grade y'all hit on 26w, I do about 25 to 30mph lol

[@xozindustries7451]

I'm Glad you guys had a safe trip, I know that route well, I've towed my fifth wheel camper up those grades, always nerve wracking. It was bad when I had to pass the 18 wheelers up that hill to maintain momentum with my duramax crew cab Dually. I'm interested to see the build out

[@bigbuick716]

Garden - no fence? You will be a deer whisperer.

[@mickey533]

Very cool. I'm sure you bought a lotto ticket when you got home...

[@96chevydually6.5L]

Larry is home!.👍🚌🔧

[@victorcobb5947]

The rear leaf springs appear to be in good order it will be interesting to see if they drop a bit with the weight of the rebuild and water tanks etc. Great video and audio content keep up the good work.

[@jameskeller1707]

Nice Thing!

[@woodhoundbug4697]

You really need to put a pro charger on that bus the molars that good if you could find one that would be awesome James T North Carolina

[@Spyke383]

I fully plan on having it procharged. And some very unique fuel system mods.

[@uliwehner]

@@Spyke383 i would love to hear some ideas on that topic.

[@Spyke383]

@@uliwehner I will be releasing more information as I get farther along in the project to my knowledge I'll be the 1st person to ever do this to a Detroit

[@marknewell7355]

Tyler I can't wait to see what you do with your bus mate I'm hoping you do a old school look with new technology for e.g led lights in the old style disc brakes maybe even a 60 series Detroit??? Dont know on that one but it will be cool to see what you do brother

[@bryantyoung7197]

Only the 3751 can pull off that sexy look with patin . She's absolutely gorgeous.

[@paulheff8067]

I have a transit as a mobile workshop a t 350 with 600,000 miles on the clock on original engine 12 reg

[@UpwardDragon]

Awesome bro!

[@DrinkWhiskeyRaiseHell]

When the transit passed with the boat, about a half second before you I said oh shit. That's transit is going to meet an early end. Had to drive a Sprinter for a work daily with a trailer. Had to rent a Transit once. Everything on it was weak. The motor, the trans, the brakes, the a/c. It felt like the cheapest most slapped together POS I've driven in a while.

[@gratwood]

It was good to follow you and your Dad home from NC, you do a good job in narrating. What type of camera do you use?

[@frankpagel2329]

Oh, my wife said I have to finish the tiny house or sell it first.Lol.🤠

[@CHersh61661]

The rental truck pulling that car you commented on at 39:35 passed you again at 43:15. They must have stopped and fixed their ramps!

[@glossamano1899]

Great video. Is Larry’s engine 2 valve or 4?

[@jaquigreenlees]

Why finish the interior before getting the mechanical done? I would think any mechanical that is accessed from inside would be easier if the interior isn't finished. Also, less weight for jacking it up before you do the interior.

[@jaymiller2213]

Are you going to try finding new siding to repair the 2 large holes in the sides?

[@Spyke383]

I have siding to patch it

[@stevedunford7632]

does your truck actually have any suspension?

[@Spyke383]

Yea the truck was on the overloads for this trip so it rides pretty rough

[@kevinhamling1963]

Hey man Kevin here from Australia. When larry is parked up at the property in he's special parking spot are you going to built a temporary roof over him to protect him from the elements while your restoring him

[@Spyke383]

I'm not sure yet. First priority is making it liveable inside. Nect i will probably build my shop then do the exterior work once it's inside.

[@kevinhamling1963]

@@Spyke383 i can help with all that if you fly me over from Australia. 🙃

Quality Video Tyler! Sooooo Jakes, Turbo and Stack first right? Mechanical then interior then body......... I know you wanted Interior first but hey, Content right? Oh and you need a theme song, something between Trace Adkins and Kid Rock so when you play it backwards you get showered in pootytang.

[@scottguy9438]

Hey Tyler that was an amazing video I love the content of it I hope that your best is as great as Lenny Larry has a lot of great potential it will just take a little time to get it the way you want it and you'll get it you got the willpower to do it also I love watching your dad videos and that is saying a couple with your dad and your mom she seems to be a very sweet lady and I'd like to subscribe to her cooking show so me and my wife can start cooking like her and maybe we'll lose weight for me and also I know your Dad was supposed to work on Bruce Wilson's truck but he took it one of his trucks to one of his friends and supposed to do a overhead I think it said and put Jake's on it was that the truck your Dad was supposed to work on might want to check into it love the videos keep them coming

[@simuler]

He took the blue truck for jakes to be put on it. Scot is going to work or the airforce truck.

[@mikemullay5622]

@@simuler You are correct. The Airforce truck has a Detroit in it. Blue Collar the Freightliner has a Cummins.
