Super cool find Jason, if I ever get the money saved up for one of these, Im going to put you in charge of finding me one for me.

[@jeffersonspace]

I like how you mentioned you want to preserve the stock features with the conversion. Thanks for the archaeological excavation! Bless

[@Trottamondi]

Bonjour et merci pour restaurer cette jolie bus... j'ai des beaux souvenirs de mon enfance chaque fois que je regarde ton programme.

[@terrystewart2070]

Jason all I can say is: WOW! You waited and looked for a long time....and it was totally worth it! You really scored with this bus. I will be following along as you do whatever you are going to do. I must say that at this point I love your attitude and respect for this fine piece of rolling history! Kudos my brother from Northern California.

Congratulations on your bus just watching you going down the road via Silversides Sage. Looking great!

[@stevenhall9009]

Double check the destination sign cuz it could be Winnipeg, Missouri if so bring that bus back home to the states After you restore it though please LOL

[@BusWithUs.]

Gus used to run from Chicago through the Twin Cities into northern MN, crossing into Canada for Winnipeg. You can see the list of destinations in our video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/boaWmaejm9aasLM

Amazing piece of living history Jason and a sympathetic refit is the best option! Thanks for sharing !

[@BusWithUs.]

Thank you! I view myself as the caretaker of this bus rather than the owner. We want to keep as much of the original details as possible yet allowing it possible to travel in.

Great silversides bus! You are starting with one that is in excellent condition for its age. It will be fun to see how it progresses , nice video

[@dennissmith1469]

I see via Sage you are on your way home to Canada hope all went well with customs and other paperwork. Keep us updated on your progress with the bus. 🚍👍😉

[@BusWithUs.]

Bus is home! Stay tuned, lots of video to edit now.

[@The_Smith]

That's gotta be like driving a museum! When you do you're cross Canada tour and if you find yourself on the Yellowhead in the easy to draw hard to spell province would love to see it.

[@BusWithUs.]

We will plan for a cross Canada trip 2021!

[@DavidWischnewski]

Nice bus Jason. 👍

[@rodneymiddleton9624]

Our Silversides still has the shade behind the driver's seat but no overhead racks to hook it into. Great bus Jason!!!!!

[@twofeathersrv]

The bus on our KZbin Channel does have that shade. It is missing the part that has the balls that click in to the rack. We are missing the part of the rack where it connects to. We are installing some of the original racks. That is a parts we are looking for. Very cool feature! Those seat bases are the same as the ones in our PD4151 We are looking for two more. or we will make copies at some point.

Are you back in Canada? Any issues crossing the border and getting your RIV and import papers? Now just to get it safetied and licensed. A friend of mine brought a Colorado soft top Reo up here. Did an AMAZING restoration, but had to get a special drivers license. So wound up taking it to Pheonix for auction.

[@BusWithUs.]

No issues with a bus older than 1971! Just have to do the export and import paperwork. RIV only applies to newer vehicles.

[@kdel9776]

did you video the hub change out you talked about today on Phil's video? if you did are you going to show it?

[@BusWithUs.]

I will be posted a seperate video with details and part numbers.

[@christopherrasmussen8718]

I don't know Jason. Maybe you can just sneak it across. Bring some friends.

[@douro20]

When did they go to the 3-cylinder engine for the AC?

[@BusWithUs.]

I believe they are all 4 cyl for the AC engine.

[@brianmccutchan9513]

If your still in bloomington can I come visit ?

[@BusWithUs.]

Sorry I am back in Canada now.
