Tires bad? To quote Derek … “We’ll just pretend we didn’t see that.”

Was just out in Davis Junction on Saturday, must have just missed you guys. Cool bus, must be the last year or so before the hood change.

Rode a 91 gmc Wayne 5 speed in elementary school; that replaced an 82 Chevy Wayne school bus. Always loved these manual transmission busses. As I moved into middle school the buses were replaced by bluebird gmc automatics and since then the district has only bought 6 busses that weren’t blue bird 3 Thomas’s in the mid 2000’s and 3 ice’s in 2018 but went back to blue bird.

Got a 1990 TBI brand new. Oh man what a difference on cold mornings.

Good to see you back man love the videos of the old buses hopefully I’ll get to save one someday
-
Welcome back missed you uploading glad to see you back.
-
Great video, Mr. Retro!

1991 was the last year for those generation Chevrolet & GMC buses. 1985 was the first year for them because when the rest of the models in the lineup were redesigned in 1973, the buses were the only models that stayed unchanged & they were produced up through 1984.

Great video and the only comment I have is that I wish you could have left in the complete stop at the light, so we could hear the bus search forward when the light turns green. I wanted to hear that just so I know if first gear has a whine, or not. Otherwise, glad you finally had the time to post and by all means, keep them coming.

cool clip, keep them coming

well sharing- have a nice day- 💫

Virginia put the warning light controls in the center as well (or at least my county did). Thomas, Blue Bird, Carpenter all had a different style for those. That was of course after they started ordering busses with ambers. There were still lots of early-mid 80s busses running when I was in elementary school that only had reds, activated in advance of a stop by pulling the door handle slightly forward.

Those boxes were on these buses in Maine too.

I have one similar, but a Bluebird instead with a 5 speed manual.

Hey. I noticed that you still need to work on updating your website. I had slowed down on sending you emails because I was worried if I sent you one email right after another more like 5 minutes apart, I could be facing charges of harassment, and that would never do. The reason why I suggested expanding to Kirkwood, MO is so that it would be even more centrally located than Chicago, Illinois.

Please do a update on your buses Please, need new videos from you

Wow long time no see lol
-
I love the b60 school buses with the Allison diesel engine I rode busses like going to school
-
Long time no see there! Hopefully to see some of your busses later this year at local show or two
