  • On this episode we go back to the junkyard to get a school bus that I purchased on a prior episode running. We then drive it from the junkyard to my buddies shop so we can start gutting it. We're going to swap the engine and transmission into my 1992 GMC Top Kick. Big thanks to Chucks Auto Salvage for allowing us to film and hang out in the junkyard.

    Somehow I'm willing to bet that there wasn't that much glee and big grins when you were younger heading out for a day at school. Seeing you guys having fun in the bus makes me smile!

    As a school bus driver I approve of this project. That Cummins motor is the best thing they ever put in buses.

    Funny how riding a school bus because you want to is way more fun than when you had to. Love the content Dave, keep it up.

    I always wanted to put a suck-up bed inside an old school bus to have a gullwing rear section of buss open up and crap out a world class sportscar. The rest of the buss would be my RV-auto shop. With some kind of vintage buss, and a matching year's car, this idea could be a SEMA WINNER !

    This wasn't just a favorite Newbern video, this was a favorite all kinds of video! Watching a bunch of guys trying to get a Cummins to start and then parading it around with a bunch of ear to ear grins. All that was missing was the cooler of beer in the back of the bus.
