Touching story about the former owner. My dad used to name all of our vehicles. I realize they're machines but with all the memories you make in them, it's easy to see the attachment.
That bus owner has my sympathy. I restored my 66 Mustang over the course of a year, but I rarely drove it because I am always in the truck hauling something. Sold it in May, and cried when the new owner drove away in it. I am always so happy when you get another classic back on the road. You do wonderful work, and always treat others with kindness and humor.
yeah ill be restoring an old 87 ford bronco here in a year or so, just gota get some extra money up for it to afford some of the stuff, but if i had to sell it my grand pa and me would cry, why my grand pa? bc he daily'd that thing for a good several years before he retied, when he did the truck also went into retirement, well my shop (at the time) had just been built, and grand pa and i, we decided that that old thing would be mine when i got my lisence. well in a act of preserving it we put it in my shop.
My dad has a 1967 Chevy c10 and he absolutely loves it. I will never ever sell it. Even if I am broke, no way in hell im selling it. It’s sad that u sold ur mustang!!! U should definitely get another. Wish you the best
I had an 84 cougar in the late 90s that was mint condition and only had 40k miles (I knew the original owners, I later bought their 87 cougar with 21k miles). I was hit head on in the 84 and sold the 87. Cried like a baby both times. Still causes me pain.
I drove buses & coaches for 30 years and always loved the older ones. My favorite was one we called "Grandma" because she was the oldest in the fleet - not that we had much of a fleet. I believe she was an MCI MC-6. Another that I loved dearly was an MC-7, "Betty Boop", who would incredibly gain speed going UP Mt Hood! I'd almost swear she had a soul. Kids going to ski would chant, "Go, Betty, go!" and she would chug right past the H3-45s like they were standing still. If you ever want to swap bus stories, I have a bunch! ~ the Famous Stagecoach Annie
I know everyone loved Phil, but I am ready to watch this with Scott taking the lead, controlling the steps, and making his moves with no one interjecting or second-guessing. That way I know it will get done quickly and done well. Mr Bruner has the positive attitude and pleasant disposition needed to wrestle these beasts. And I have the large screen monitor to see each moment of success - especially when the old Detroit fires up! 😁👍
Hey you guys where up in my home town up on the iron range...happy to see you could save this beautiful bus! My uncle was a Detroit Diesel mechanic for the mines there
U.K. It's nice to find a channel where the comments are honest, supportive and decent. Had to loose my old 1964 Daimler V8, time gets us all in the end. Good luck to you all - take care.
Scott, your wife LOVES you like crazy! -Don't ever ignore that! Love the videos and everything you do, -a thumbs up on every one. That alternator might be a Lecce-Neville, not bad units, but when screwed onto a Detroit, they fall apart, -like averything attached to a two-stroke...
I love the fact that you keep Lenny running even better than he did from the factory! Let's many modern coaches to shame! Hope you get your heating situation straightened out. Love what you do for the bus community! God bless you and your wife in your travels!
This bus is absolutely gorgeous, and I'm so glad that you're going to rescue and restore it to running order! Having someone with the necessary experience and expertise to work on the various systems in the bus and whom actually cares about the vehicle is a major part of it seeing the light of day as a working vehicle! The original owner will be hugely comforted that his beloved bus is finding a home with someone that cares about them probably as much as he does.
When it comes to having to let a bus go, when you don’t want to.... I know just how much that hurts. I had to do that when I ran out of money, but wanted to ensure the buses future. I have fond memories, and I know the current owner is taking good care of it.
My Aunt passed on a few months ago & she used to own several of these old buses like this 1 in Indiana they use to ride alot of the old Motown singers to their shows back in the good ol days & they also ran a really old car wash in Indianapolis too for many years .Those old buses are just so cool .
You reminded me of some kind of crime fighter wearing that gray hoody and gloves. "look everyone! It's the silverside shadow!" Yes the silverside shadow, along with his trusty sidekick camera girl. Their mission, crossing the nation saving GM bus's from the ravages of time and the scrapers claw. What's next for are superheroes? tune in next time to find out! I love you guys, keep up the excellent work.
I'm a long haul trucker. I'm old enough to remember those old buses when they were standard. I'll never get over or get used to them having a red line like a motorcycle. Hearing that more howl on the interstate makes the hair on my necks stand up. I'm just waiting for a piston to launch into space.
I retired from Greyhound after 43 years. I have driven all of the manual buses. I started with the 4 speeds, which had a huge RPM split, so you would wind them right out until they howled, and then you'd shift and listen to them bog and blow black smoke. Pity the guy following you. Then they improved with the 5 speeds, 6 speeds, and we got rid of our last 7 speeds less than ten years ago. All of these transmissions were non syncro crash boxes which I could shift with one finger, but quite a few of the guys could never shift them and would grind every gear. Ouch! I now drive long haul semi trucks with 13 speed transmissions with a 200 RPM split in high range. Now that's driving!
@@SternDrive I really enjoyed my 15+2. Then I made a deal with the devil and got a Columbia with an 8 speed. Horrible on the Appilachian trail or through the Rockies or Cascades. When I went local and hauled mud, I got an old rd6 with 5 gears. It was almost like driving an old silversides I guess. Wind it up to 2300 and bog it down to 1100 to get in the next gear. I never drove a sychronized truck until I moved to Germany. I hated the damn thing. Because Europeans who actually know how to drive an actual truck are either all dead or retired, everything is Xbox now a days. You can take the dumbest most inbred son of a chlamydia infested whore, give him a bottle of vodka, put him in the drivers seat and it will still get there. Just the way the big companies want it. They can pay drivers next to nothing because they are only a tax ID number above the evolutionary scale from chimpanzees.
@@FesterPussbucket These new autoshift trucks have dumbed down the industry. Dah, how do you drive this thing? Oh just push "D" and go! In the old days the crash box would weed out the incompetents.
UPDATE! I have returned to this event to answer some questions posted after Scott covered the first ones. Please go to SORT BY, then NEWEST FIRST and look for answers that fit your questions. If you have other questions, or if we missed yours, please submit them on our current videos on our channels. Thank You. bus grease monkey or bus old man phil.
Here is a man that loves his job and these old buses !!! Where on Earth would you go to find someone who just got done , struggling with a project that was incredibly frustrating and not quite resolved and turn around and take on one sitting in a field that hasn't run in years settled in the frozen dirt , snowing , in the dark and gonna get it outta there with a jack and a shovel ???!!! Anyone that wants to tell you how you should do it should pick up their shovel and join in , sometimes it's about using what you have rather than what you otta have !!! Can't wait to sit in front of the fire and see how this unfolds ,better than the best TV , just love to see just about anything vintage preserved !! Keep em coming !!
Growing up in North Carolina during the 70's my father was a member of a gospel sing group who purchased the very same kind of bus. I loved travelling around with my father on that bus.
Sometimes I’m envious of you and all your travels and adventures. But right now I’m very happy to be watching you from the comforts of my nice warm house. Guess I’ a wimp Love your videos and keep Kelly warm.
Only a warm hearted human being can feel for some one who patted their old bus on the nose. God bless you all. I can't tell you how wonderful it is to watch this. An immediate subscription to follow more of your good work sir.
My favorite videos of your channel is when you rescue the Silversides after sitting for a while! Your commitment and passion is admirable......keep up the good work!
The alternator is conventional Leece Niville. Probably 165 amp stator and rectifiers. Looks same as common truck or ambulance back half. Drive end and rotor different because of drive. I have rectifiers, regulator, doide treo, brushes, and bet slip ring is replaceable. Rotor coil will most likely be fine. Don't spend a bunch on it. Happy to possibly help you. Had shop for years, still have parts and testing equipment. Best of luck! After taking a 2nd look, back half is the older style. Popular on older ambulance and many emergency type vehicles. Distinctive difference is brush holder and regulator. The reg. Is the aluminum cover on top of brush holder. Later style referred to as Loadhandler, with different brush holder, regulator and com end frame. Rectifiers and stator interchangeable. Excellent alternators.
A warm wife is a happy wife, I see some proper heating being installed on Lenny in the near future. Ebay have small diesel fueled heaters that are rated over 5kw very cheap and they are dang hot. But on the other hand I bet Lenny has found another 10Hp with all that cold dense air
It's good that you saw the owner get broken up over his bus because it will invigorate your desire to continue his legacy through your work...... hopefully ;-D
Being cold made me smile as I bought a LANDROVER FREELANDER with the TD4 BMW diesel, but has a factory Fuel Burning Heater to help speed up warm ups/ engine temps.. i just fitted a 88 degree thermostat to help it..
That bus looks so cold and lonely. Well worth saving though! Hope y'all have plenty of airline antifreeze. Glad to see she wasn't frozen in the ground, either. If it's any consolation, it isn't much warmer down here right now. Supposed to get down into the 20s tonight.
Lovely partner, keeper. Good friend trecking out with you to deal with the bus. Understanding the sellers distress… Then the bus which is so different to those we have in the UK. Fascinating. Liked and sub’d. ❤️🏆🤘

Love this! It reminds me of the day I got my bus running. All be it a very different style and a different continent It feels so similar! Best of luck! Pete And His Bus
Great video you have me chocking back my emotions also .. it’s like telling a family member good bye forever good luck 🍀 tomorrow getting that baby sea worthy and out without a problem 💚💚
Did I just meet Kelly?! Pleased to meet you! That cold weather really slows down the reflexes, so you couldn't duck out of frame! Stay warm! Tripolar cause Mania and Depression aren't Enough.
So nice to see another user of Kroil, best stuff I've ever used! It's sad to see another owner say goodbye, it really is an emotional time for him as you said.
Super video and love the beginning exchange between the couple, very brave undertaking and possibly a huge task ahead. Looking forward to the next vid as this looks such an entertaining and rewarding restoration, well done so far!
My mom is 77 and has a 1960 Chevy impala convertible,it’s been stored in my sisters garage for the past 10 years at least,it’s sad she won’t get rid of it,she could use the money,but bawls if you talk about it
I understand how the previous owner feels. I sold a 1973 FJ40 that had zero rust anywhere……,frame included. It needed a bunch of wiring finished, a windshield, brakes, etc. Didn’t need much to finish but sold it due to needing funds to buy a house. I was so close to having it on the road.
So glad to see both sides of the dynamic duo , Mr. And Mrs. bus grease monkey! You both work hard to create these great videos for us! Wish you had better heat in Lenny, better head south!
huge kudos to you guys, working on that bus in the frigid north. Better now, than next week. I'm ~200 miles south of there, in WI, and next week promises highs 25 degrees below average. Brrrrr.
A little off topic, but I was watching "A League Of Their Own" the other night and lots of good scenes on that Silversides bus in the movie. You don't see many with all the original interiors like that. Back on topic..............I can appreciate the difficulty factor added to this job by the cold weather. Looking forward to the rest of the rescue.
I am here because of Dangar Marine. I was just introduced to a 1947 Silverside. It is parked around the corner from my house. I am going to try to document it's restoration. I know a tiny bit about the 71 series engine, I lived on a wooden boat powered by a four-banger and did a little work on it. It should be interesting.
When you were at the stop sign in Cloquet on Hyw 33, The gas station at the right side of Lenny was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Very famous architect. Fun to recognize your journey to the Hibbing exit as I have a cabin North of Virginia. I enjoy learning from your postings and hear the passion for old buses.
70+ year old, recent health issues, recent family loss; hey, that sounds like me ... and I'm just getting STARTED on my project! Well ... maybe! It's mighty hard to say "Sorry, I just can't do that anymore." I've got some big western red cedars to take down this year, and I'm going up with climbing spurs. First time cutting in the sky, though I've done a lot on the ground. Wife says ENOUGH new projects ... we gotta have our projects!
You went right by the MN source for winter work clothes on 35. Fleet Farm for some Carhartts. It good to see that some of these buses are in MN, maybe I can find one.

A couple of cars broke my heart when they sold. a real sense of loss.
I had an 84 cougar in the late 90s that was mint condition and only had 40k miles (I knew the original owners, I later bought their 87 cougar with 21k miles). I was hit head on in the 84 and sold the 87. Cried like a baby both times. Still causes me pain.
I TOTALLY AGREE 👍, BUT IF WE CONTINUE TO SEEK AN EXPLORE, I PROMISE YOU THAT THERE ARE 😉 MANY MANY TREASURES, WAITING FOR US TO ???????

I am stoked to see Phil working on this bus tomorrow. He and Scott can work together on another project.
I totally agree, Phil is an interfering gentleman, with good intentions BUT interferes and will not let Scott do his job - Phil is the best!
I mean Scott is the best - Phil is just interfering
!
Scott....Like you, Kelly has a beautiful smile, even in difficult situations!
Awesome journey! Thanks for sharing!

Now all we have to do is get him a gray spandex bodysuit with a cape.
Back in the 60$s there was a band that used a bus like this to travel together from gig to gig! THE MARVELOUS MARAUDERS !!!!

Looks a great bus hope it all goes well even with the snow about.
That bus looks so cold and lonely. Well worth saving though! Hope y'all have plenty of airline antifreeze. Glad to see she wasn't frozen in the ground, either.
If it's any consolation, it isn't much warmer down here right now. Supposed to get down into the 20s tonight.

I am here because of Dangar Marine. I was just introduced to a 1947 Silverside. It is parked around the corner from my house. I am going to try to document it's restoration. I know a tiny bit about the 71 series engine, I lived on a wooden boat powered by a four-banger and did a little work on it. It should be interesting.
Fabulous find Scott 👍🏻 You need a diesel heater in your bus to keep your good lady warm lol 😂
What a nice bus! Definitely worth fighting the cold and snow to save it.
looks like my trip to wisconsin was really timed well. it looks blooming cold out there. stay warm!
Sweet score how beautiful that chrome all the way
Livin the dream y'all are!😉👍
When you were at the stop sign in Cloquet on Hyw 33, The gas station at the right side of Lenny was designed by Frank Lloyd Wright. Very famous architect. Fun to recognize your journey to the Hibbing exit as I have a cabin North of Virginia. I enjoy learning from your postings and hear the passion for old buses.
I would really hope that the “very famous architect” disclaimer is not needed for anyone who reads that.
70+ year old, recent health issues, recent family loss; hey, that sounds like me ... and I'm just getting STARTED on my project! Well ... maybe! It's mighty hard to say "Sorry, I just can't do that anymore." I've got some big western red cedars to take down this year, and I'm going up with climbing spurs. First time cutting in the sky, though I've done a lot on the ground. Wife says ENOUGH new projects ... we gotta have our projects!
It’s a fun hobby
nice to see old buse come back to life after many years sitting cant wait to see how the tyre show messed up
Good on you for saving this classic 😎
I don't usually sit around for road-trip videos, so I'm glads the bus got in this :-)
You went right by the MN source for winter work clothes on 35. Fleet Farm for some Carhartts. It good to see that some of these buses are in MN, maybe I can find one.
I was born in Cambridge, MN and I have family in and around Pine City. Very cool!
Nice looking Silverside. I hope you find the rear lamp with the word STOP for Lenny; Scott /Kelly stay warm.
Nice video, beautiful. I love it. I enjoy watching.
Been there, done that 1958 GMC 4104. Glad those days are over.
Great video.
Thanks for sharing.
I love the old buses.
