Just find any rust spots, clear the rust, weld a good thick patch and treat it with WD-40 corrosion inhibitor. This Greyhound is gonna live again hopefully, just needs some TLC, elbow grease and a spit-shine.

I spent 22 years building the 71/53 series and they were really tough. In engine test we would run at full load, manifolds glowing red, and they would not quit.

[@pitbull2743]

Looks like it will be a good home for the owner. I started as an owner operator in 1970 and retired in 2010. In my opinion, these service truck stops pay such a low wage that the worker is uneducated in the work required and so the finished product becomes sub-par at best. I always carried the proper tools, a good tire and my faithful 20 ton jack that I still have in the garage. This is why I enjoy watching good qualified people doing exceptional work.

[@failranch9542]

My 80 year old father had a wheel bearing go out on a utility trailer late at night and rolled into one of these tire shops. They weren’t busy and my dad offered the kid a couple hundred dollars to take care of it. I’ll give the kid credit, he didn’t take my dad’s money but instead admitted he didn’t know how to do it. Dad ended up uncoupling, going to Walmart and Lowes for tools and then Napa for the bearing and did it himself.

I drove one of these for a bicycle tour group during the summer of 1981.

In June of 1962, San Diego, Calif, Dad told me the trip to the farm in the Panhandle, Texas, would have to wait a while. Disappointed, a solution was found. At 12 yrs old, alone, I sat aboard a Greyhound ScenicCruiser Express bound for Amarrilo, Texas. I sat alone in the first row and seats, passenger side-upper deck the entire trip. The bus left San Diego early that morning, and by midnight, we rolled onto Amarillo. Trip of a lifetime for a little kid as we raced through the cool, moonlit desert night &up into the mountains and then down towards the high plains & Panhandle of Texas. That bus driver wasn't sparing the horsepower. He even got a ticket over near Flagstaff, Arizona. Lol. Still love the sound of a Detroit Diesel....

In the early 70's I was a student at the University of Texas and actually got to ride on a Scenicruiser to see my parents.

And I loved that little bathroom next to the stairs!

I became a Greyhound bus driver went to there school January 3 1980 all 200 of us, and was one of the lucky 58 to graduate June 27 of 1980. Back then they trained us on every model that was manufactured, most all of them was double clutch 4 speed. That model you found was one unique buss. a few of them that was stationed on the east coast Penn New York area Had Two, 2 8cy engines dam they could pull up and down those steep mountains. the single engines models you were down in 2 gear very quickly. Oh that sound she is so good you guy's get it started. LOL by the way. they guy in the green shirt is sitting in the area for the AC compressor. Greyhound did a great job back in the day teaching how to do minor on the road fix for the engs. they don't do that today. And MCI built Battle ships on wheels. Not that Crap that MCI calls a bus today. There junk. look how many of the old timers are still on the road in the world. Same for the old Trailways Eagles. drove many back then. yes greyhound and Trailways were competitors. but there drivers and Us would drive on routes in areas that was ether a Eagle or a MCI/GM. Oh By the way. you will find this out very soon. They all leaked when it Rain, or Snow, The Upper Scenic window. Leak like a sieve, and nothing you can do. The flexing of the frame is what caused this.

[@friedputty]

GM also built coaches to an EXTREMELY high quality standard. I remember when we got brand-new Gillig Phantoms in my city bus service, and how bitterly disappointing they were compared to the 30 year old GM city buses. The GM buses glided over broken concrete pavement. The Gilligs rattled and crashed into the bump stops. There were bad things about the old GM buses too -- 100% of GM buses ever put in service would have benefited from having twice as many gears in the transmission, and from outside, those buses were deafeningly loud and spewed filthy exhaust. Heaven for the passenger, hell for the pedestrian.

man i love them 8v Detroit's, cant even begin to tell you the number of 8v92's ive seen or worked on in the army but i enjoyed every last one. absolute beasts of diesel engines

[@friedputty]

BTW, what was with the military's love of 53-series Detroit Diesel engines back in the day? Is it because they are shorter so the hood can be shorter and you can put more trucks on a transport of some kind? Is it because they can rev higher so you can get away with fewer gears and keep cost down? Everyone in the private sector used 71 series engines, except for weird custom jobs. Toward the end of the 2-stroke era, Detroit pushed the 92 series engines to try to stay competitive with power output, but those things were not as long lived as the 71s. But I have found some crazy military surplus things in the 53 series -- including a twin turbo computer controlled Silver Series 6V53, apparently an attempt to squeeze a modern power output into a repower project for old trucks that probably topped out at 45 mph with the original non-turbo 6V53.

My initial comment would be, 'not worth saving', however, we all have our passions.

From first look, didn't think it would start let alone roll under its own power. It's going to take a lot more than money and effort to restore the bus.

I don’t know anything about buses and/or fixing cars. But this video makes me want to learn so I could be part of the project to restore this beautiful old machine. Something about old machines from years ago, like when I saw a long retired 747 in a boneyard.

25:35 love the sound of these revving and especially under load ❤️

I really love that old Greyhound bus you made run.

[@hobo1452]

I am amazed at the access to the engine that these old buses had. That swing out radiator is genius. I owned a 2014 class a diesel pusher motor home, and the access to that engine was pathetic, as it is in most modern rear engine motor homes. Mechanics hate working on them and the labor charges are outrageous. I can't help but wonder why manufacturers insist on making it so hard when the basic fundamentals and technology to make access easier has been around for so long.

All those swivels and hinges cost money, we can’t have that.

@@EvertG8086 -- Plus every dollar of cost at the factory becomes $3 of MSRP. :(

Good job getting the old girl running again. I put 250,000 miles on a 8v 0092 back in the day. I turned up the governor from 2150 to 2300 and it was putting out 450 hp to the drivers. Awesome motor !!!

I didn't see much of it in the background, but it looked like a pretty nice All American based Wanderlodge there.

That storage space below is excellent. I bet I could fit my motorcycle in there. What a dream

[@snuffysmiff]

These rescue vids are my favorite ones. Not saying anything there's wrong with your home building ones and your bus service vids-I enjoy them also! Just glad you're doing bus rescues again. BTW, good looking Wanderlodge there in the background!
