- This 1957 gm pd4104 is a real good solid complete bus. We are investigating the issues that need to be addressed and will make this bus a safe and reliable vehicle for our daughter and her husband. This is just day 1 observations. The project begins tomorrow…
Ha ha my OCD was killing me. Military teaches us to start at the very top and work our way down..
Pressure washing you start at the bottom and work up, stops the dirt re-settling on the surface.
Prevents streaking bottom to top.
What a fantastic old bus Scott! Looks great currently, and I know it only gets better from here! Your daughter and son-in-law are VERY LUCKY kiddo's to have you as a Father/Mechanic!
That’s a beautiful bud. I love it.
Pretty solid and complete looking GM PD-4104. With your slammed schedule it'll take time to run through all the systems but once you're done, it'll be safe, solid and dependable 👍
If you have any black mould issues just use a cut in half a fresh lemon. Squish out the juice and work it in with the half cap rind. Very effective way to clean any surface with mould.
That is a beautiful bus. I look forward following you through the process.
Nice bus! Looking forward to seeing the build.
Just the pressure washer alone made a huge difference, sounds like you picked a good one, thought would have cost alot more $$$, wow , great videos to come,
Ya find me one like that I'll send you a check
did you say $1500??
wow. what a steal for a running driving bus.
that is gonna be a beaut.
and the demo is already done too!!
Cheers
I have seen similar condition 4104’s $200-$500. I had an offer of a free one recently.
1500 but your going to remortgage the house just to pay for the plywood for the inside haa haaaa
@@BusGreaseMonkey if it had a 3406 CAT it'd be worth $ 12,000 just like that .
@@BusGreaseMonkey Seriously I'd be all over that if it were near me. I'm in central CA.
@@terrydavis6132 - Then you'd end up with four speeds in reverse! The GM engine spins the opposite direction from the CAT.
Wow! That cleaned up beautifully.
Nice, Scott! That 4104 will shine like a new penny. Impressed at the inverter in that power box.
@@bobl78 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 Yep, & the gens are MORE dependable in the long run, give me a propane converted gen ANYTIME over those CHI NA boxes
Ahhh!!! Looking forward to this cool summer series of rebuilding the 4104!
Man, I like them old buses.
What a find, best of luck
WOW! Great buy! Many more videos on how to do things the right way. Looking forward to seeing the butterfly emerge...
Wow wat a steal running like that cant wait for the Resto to commence cheersfr Cannada
going to enjoy watching the work that will be going on with the bus. keep the videos coming
You should use soap and power washer for your new RV just not the power washer by itself cuz all you're doing is just getting the surface but you're not getting all the dirt
Great price ! I think it’s the best looking one in your fleet most of the body panels look like they just need a little massaging back into place ! Looks like a winner 👍🏻
Wow Scott, that cleaned up very nice and what a price! From the sounds of what you were saying it's just basic maintenance things that need to be addressed. What a great platform to start from!
that 4104 has some REALLY good bones there!
Beautiful bus, nice going boss!
Cleaned up a bit, it's an even more Awesome bus!!
Nice hood prop!!!
That aluminum would polish up nicely after the pressure wash, but it would be a timely job. Nice bus.
I just found your channel not too long ago and have been just watching the hell out of your videos and learning a lot. Always wanted to get one of these buses or an old tour bus. I know one thing for sure, I wish you was the mechanic at our trucking company !!!!!
Can’t wait to see the series’s of the return to full health 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Heck, Scott, that really nice rear window was worth the price of admission all by itself!! Nice find. PD4104-5795 is ex-Northland Greyhound Lines (HQ'd in Minneapolis, MN) #N-5715, delivered new in June of 1957. IIRC, Greyhound used to order their coach's with N55 injectors for better fuel economy.
Lenny will be green with envy!!
Waiting to see you work your magic Mr. Grease,,,,,,really enjoy watching you and Indy doing your things,,,,,nice looking rig,,,she will enjoy it,,,lucky lady,,😇🇺🇸😍☕️☕️
A pleasure to see the transformation
The coolest father ever
Love the paint scheme, needs a bunch of panel work. Hope to see more videos.
Lucy looks much better after her bath. Looks like your daughter and son in law got a good deal!
Very nice find scott. Looking forward to the upcoming videos.
What a great old bus. Your daughter and husband have great bones to convert! Wonderful deal at $1,500.
Yep
Lucky daughter/ lucky bus👍
Agreed !!!
$1500, they stole it and the room inside is humungous! This will be an awesome build....👍
Can't wait to see the work o. This thing. Will be following along here.
Guessing the motor alone is worth more than $1500. Good solid foundation of a great land yacht.
Great bus with loads of potential for a great price! Looking forward to seeing the progress on this one. Wish you all the very best.
Can’t wait till you guys get a shop built
Thats one hell of a find. That's going to make a very reliable bus once its finished.
Your good dad
Currently I’m parked next to #0022 4104’s. Never a city bus but was originally a custom coach. The owner would love to get it running and I told her I’d love to help. Where to start just to hear it run is the big question.
Sweet, can’t wait for progress on this beauty!
I would so love to have one of these... but no money and no room to have one!
Congratulations! Very nice bus!
Thank you Scott! Great information and inspiration!
I can’t wait till you get your big shop call going up there on top of the hill it’s gonna be awesome
Pressure washing something cruddy is like mowing the lawn... immediate gratification!
This sounds like it will turn out to be fantastic when you get done
Your such a good dad Scott I'm sure you'll make it great for the kids and it will be a great little conversion for them.
How's Tyler doing on his conversion I know he's been busy working with you lately he's going to have a great conversion as well.
a suggestion to work safe under the bus up on the hill next to the shop is a pit 12 feet long 4 feet wide and 5 feet deep for the hard to get at replacement parts / in the pit a drain down hill and a Tarp to cover the pit from rain //add 2 poles from the base of pit to the trap to keep the trap from have rain come through when not in use as a cover
Amazing how well that stainless cleaned up with just a wash…. $1500? Wow! My wife and I are paying $3k for a shuttle bus…
@John Acuff - That's anodized aluminum, not stainless steel.
A beauty of a 4104
Really nice 👍
Nice find
They do not look like an almost 70 year old design. The interior is a blank canvas. Nice thing about polished metal is you can just hit it with a pressure washer and not worry about taking paint off. Looking forward to the progress to completion.
Hey, not seen you guys for a while! Good to be back :)
Amazing what a good pressure washer can do. Best 1st step body tool.
Fantastic bus, we need that fantastic new workshop and house as soon as please.
Waiting on contractors and good weather
English police! Hehe. The proper phrase is "waiting on good contractors and good weather." 😃 I'm sure you share my sentiment. Lord willing, my friends, you'll have both. Leroy will like a new home too.
One last thought. Is anything more satisfying than watching the sheen after pressure washing?
She's a pretty bus! 🚌 Like the exit door in the rear. Should make a lovely coach. I'd love to see a resurrected greyhound on the side, can you do that?
You'll have a huge improvement with a new fan shroud. So many possibilities with this bus!
Another project, it will be a great story!
Thanks Again For Sharing
You're a great dad. Just sayin'.
That is an awesome bus great price
Congrats
Clean bus
CAN;T WAIT........
That's going to be a great bus for them. Is the plan for Tyler and you to fix everything mechanical or are the newlyweds going to help out at some point
At least you've got an easy path to do solar, if they want it. Other than a few damaged panels, looks like a great base to build on. Are panels available easily? Good refurbing ahead! Good luck to you and Tyler while you're at it !!! Thanks for taking us along.!
Love to see standard transmission !!
So where do you find nice vintage buses? I do not see many in drivable shape in AZ. Strangely enough, I find it relaxing to watch the pressure washing portions. Seems like it is an accomplishment to see the green stuff come off!
Cool buss
Forgetting corrosion of stainless like that vinegar spray on with the garden sprayer let's sit and then pressure washing and see how clean it comes
Hopefully at some point all your family will get together for a bus road trip.
I would put vintage Greyhound liberty on it again that would be great
Awesome!
Gday Scott,,
What a cool bus for your daughter , that sure was a great price . Im really looking forward to the vids from this one .
How mega cool would it be for the family of "" GREASE MONKEY'S"" to be in convoy down the road ....
Go Scott,,
More Detroit power to you guys ....!!!

Painting the wheels and window blockouts black would make it look super sleek and modern with little investment and work.
Oh Dear! A Pink Rabbit driving a bus. Got to subscribe, or it may come back to haunt me. Subbed! Hi from the UK!
Cleaned up nice pressure washer is great
I have found a seated bus, back center glass is busted, and a side glass is missing, sitting low on the ground, for how long nobody knows, still thinking about having it hauled in, skins look nice and all of the lights are there, has title, and said to have had the engine rebuilt shortly before sitting where it is, I may go check it out on Christmas break.
Nice Bus
That pressure washer does an awesome job - do you have to be careful not to hit certain areas of the engine? Nice looking bus.
Tell me about your power station/ solar panel setup!
Heard all kind of stories from people that needed to use a bus in the 50's and they always talk about freezing in winter. Do those older units not have good heaters. If so believe I'd get some large heater cores out of something and some squirrel cage blowers and build some. But was wondering, always thought it made no sense.
I see this one has spring brake chambers added. She would have originally of had a hand brake that worked of the driveshaft. I use the word worked loosely because of the leaking on the old 2 strokes, they didn’t work well. Holding air for two days means she hasn’t sen a lot of salt.the ones I drove would be lucky to hold air two days
It almost looks like you could steal a section of Guard rail from the side road and wrap it around the back of it and match perfectly it is so big.. except for the galvanized looks. LOL
Nice bus will be a lot of time polishing.😳
I only just found your channel and have watched three videos now. I noticed that all the buses I've seen so far are Greyhound. Have you ever run across any old Continental Trailways buses?
Once You blasted the moss out there she don't look so Bad. i'm Sure dad will sort it. Good old dad
Awesome
It takes guts to do what you’re doing.
The "Highway Traveler"
That looks like my parents old bus from Beach Park Illinois
It was sold about 21 years ago also
Im sure it will be mechanically sound once the mechanicals and electrics are done as far as the Rv part be up to her likings as far as the rooms, solar and mini split system or if she wants to keep the roof top units. any issues on your vw thing? the 65 bug the flywheel worked loose rattling and loosing oil too.
Ah yes the satisfaction of pressure washing zen, your daughters bus I like it, I LIKE IT A LOT !
Is that a prop I see on the engine door of that 4104?
Yep
I bet that Bus Grease Monkey will make it sing.
you have a good motor 671 in that bus .
Spray aluminum brightener on it and let it sit for a second then pressure washer it will come out a lot better
