- 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 love that something like starting and driving an old bus can bring so much fun to a bunch of mates 👌🍻
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 !
Hope to see this. Sounds wicked as.
Replace most of the sides with standard aluminum sheet and maybe some conventional windows to make it looks a little less redneck too lol
Sounded like a bunch of giggling school boys when ya’ll got off that bus! LOL! Loved it.
That was way cool of you to hook him up with some WireCare goods!
👍👍❤️
that was Class, Wire Care👍🏼👍🏼
Well, now THERE'S a project!😂
Looking forward to whatever's gonna happen to the long bus! ✌️❤️🙂🇨🇦
I put a ramp door on the back of mine. Makes for a great toy hauler. It's nice working inside while it's raining on everyone else.
I for 1 freaking love ya buddy. Tools for ya mate's and junk yard diving is so cool. Would like to have longer episodes but hey, I'm down for what ever you're doing 12v. Cheers mate
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.
Now THIS is a honest ran when parked ad. Awesome
Newbern takin' care of his buddy. Good man.
It sure took a village to get that old sled running! 🤓. Ya got some great friends there, 12 volt Dave. 😁
you have great fiends, keep them close and the gift was great.
You guys are nuts! I'm all in! Subscribed and all that good stuff!
Another perfect video, love seeing the junkyards of America. Aussie ones are boring in comparison. All the good stuff here been taken by scrappers years ago.
Is it just me, or did anyone else have good old boys playing on the radio when they were on the bus. Dukes of hazard for the win 🏆. And now the work begins, anuff grab assin and getter done. Have a great weekend all. The wife and I are hard at it on the 72 chevelle.
Old Buses are a lotta fun, the 2 stroke Detroits are the hot rod version but nothing beats a Cummins for value!
Awesome that Wirecare came to the party too!
Shame we dont have em in Australia :-)
24 Volt Dave! And it’s not on fire.
Dave you are awesome hooking your buddy up with wire care goodies
Nobody was mooned by the guys on the bus ride home. Miracle.
Sweet I love it, can't wait to see it in the GMC. The trans works that's a bonus!
Always fun ridin the short bus!
Dave you and your friends remind me of when I was young and I would embark on all kind of cool projects with my friends we would do some of the crazyest stuff, and it would norlally work well. I can't wait to see this swap go down.
Back in the day they used lead like bondo.
That's where the term lead sled originated.
Dave way to have some really cool content hell i felt like I was on an old school trip myself lol
Man thats cool... can't wait to see how it all comes together!
You blokes are true blue! You deserve the good things coming your way. All the best 🇦🇺
Going to be an awesome build!
Guys you made me cry with the goodies!!!!!!!!!!!!! nice!!!!!!!!!!!! I felt so happy!!!!!!!!!!! Yessssssssssssssss
Good stuff can't wait for the swap
"Good call!" when snagging the phone that was about to fall in the engine! I see what you did there...
Dude, great video.
That’s a fun crew Dave. Love the content!
We brought my 65 marlin home on a school bus that had been converted to a race car hauler in 93
Cool find though I wouldn't use that automatic, it's a allison 500 series, no overdrive, no torque converter lockup so you won't like the speed the ol 4 speed can offer, been there got rid of that.
Damn, she fired right up & idled. Gotta love a diesel.
The bluebottle flies are nice this time of year
Pretty righteous... the bus and Wire Care.
Great Vid.. Love the bus.. Hope you can make it to This Years Duct Tape Drags..
The driver should be telling those naughty boys to sit down!
I'm calling those random numbers on the inside of that bus...📞
You'll end up with herpes to henry
@@danielball6696 from a fone call?? Yikes, perhaps I need to change my service provider then...🤔
Gotta love a Cummins diesel! 👍🏽
I love this stuff man, please keep the vids rolling!
Another great video 👍👍
Love the video!
That was awesome
what a fun video!!
Cool channel!
The car at scrap yard was a 49 Pontiac road master had a straight 8 fluedin man. Automatic,worked like auto at stop sign but had a gear shifter had to be used, don't down shift Intel stopped 3speed
18:48 sounds so good
Man I can't believe you're friends with Ginger Billy. He's a lot quieter on your channel then he is on his own. 😂
When my dad mud bogged a guy used to bring his 1st gen bronco loaded on the back half of an old school bus that was cut off and had a ramp
That wirecare stuff looks legit
Look at you go 12v Dave, like some sort of influencer now. Just the good type tho, helping mates.
Motor sounds sweet
2:00 Odd…that tandem back axle looks like a single wheel 5-lug.
I was waiting to see you smoke the starter ! 😮
You are going to burn up a starter keeping to stay in it like that.
I have fired up diesel engines that have been sitting much longer that that! 3 years was only a short nap 😴 for that engine
Nice.
This bus is still more reliable than brand new school buses they make
You deserve it Wesley
You guys kick ass
That was Awsome
The other kids in the schools I went to always called them the "cheese bus."
Go Team Newbern!!
"NO YELLING ON THE BUS"
yeah that needs to be a ramp truck
Hey Dave! You got a link for that wire care goodie package?
The idea of making the bus a car hauler might be easier than swapping the power train. BTW, are the axle ratio's of the bus and the Top Kick similar ?
Wirecare stays winning!
👍👍
What about those 2 old buses that were next to this one??
They usually have three 12v batteries in parallel.
Please turn the American flag around the Stars always go in the left-hand corner
TopKick should have a CAT.
Should have invited Kamala. She loves yellow school busses 🤣
She only likes those imaginary electric ones with solar and windmills on the roof.
or..." Has 12 Volt Dave met his match.."
Is he selling the fleetline
Finnegan would probably buy the tandem axle square body
Did you guys call Corey or Gage? Haha
get that 6x6 dave
Cabela's was great until they sold out to Bass Pro
Got a name for the fake bus Co. Septic Willy's Bus Company. Lol
You just killed someone's dream of a mother home. Lol ...
20:52 Flag is backward. Union should be top left.
A little bit late for the party on the flag issue. America is under duress. It needs to be flying upside down until the country is right side up
How many blokes does it take to start a school bus?
user-sc3ij3xj1f I don't know but they used 6 in this video.
Hearing that engine scream reminded me of this video : ua-cam.com/video/m040lhMfeOY/v-deo.html
😇❤
too funny
convert it into a motorhome
Ramp Truck camper
Hey if you want another 12v in a bus, i have one for sale
Has anyone called Cory yet?
NEWBERN have W fix that flag, please???? Vertical hang, sea of Stars in the UPPER LEFT....
Um that ain't my fone number. Just sayin'.
👍👍👍👍
