my god, that bus is a wiring nightmare, i'd personally gut it and start over, you'll be forever chasing gremlins with wiring like that

Any time I see wire nuts on automotive or marine applications I know I'm in for a good time. Always a mark of quality!

The wiring looks like someone with a 'want to do' and no 'know how to' was let loose with no supervision.

For a minute I thought the wipers were air powered, and that the valve you turned was the control, I laughed when you turned the tube.

I'm pretty certain they were air powered originally and those were the controls. The original air motors are difficult to rebuild and keep operating.

I love that these engines will run on used ATF, used oil, and fryer oil. This has the potential to make some epic vacations really affordable with no hotels, fewer restaurants, and lower cost fuel.

This is one of your best videos to date. This is an adventure your family will remember forever. Keep making memories. ✌️

Thanks for taking us along for the drive!

Excellent video Low Buck Garage :) on 1950 Kenworth bus your dad and got back so interesting vechiles how runs too !

To get fan motors, like the bottom one, freed up, I drill a small hole in the little dome in the back, and force some oil in. Works every time. That is quite a rats nest of wires.

What a great show!! Thanks again for your time mate, it's really appreciated.

On the transmission dipstick, I believe you twist the handle to tighten or loosen (compresses a rubber bushing which expands within the tube). On the air filter, you’re probably spot on about the newer engine flowing more air, but you might look and see if there isn’t a secondary filter that’s further up in the housing. Cool video. Looking forward to the next leg of the trip!

Yup the dipstick needs to be screwed in. Most buses are still like that today

I'm nostalgic for those old late 40s early 50s Flexible buses. I'm now 78. When in the high school band, we would go on tour in those babies. They told me that the busses were powered by straight Buick engines mounted on a rail system that would let them swap engines easily. Some of them had 3 speeds, some had 4 speeds. Those trannies must have been tough. I heard a lot of gear grinding while shifting.😁😁😁😁😁

This episode is awesome , I can't wait until you start going west ,the good thing I know no matter what happens you can fix it ,So we just won't worry about that .

Wow, she is a BEAUTY!!

This video made me think about my old man and the trips we used to go on. Thank you so much for taking us along with you.

Loved seeing the “parts bus” again. Loved that video 👍

This has been a low Buck Garage vacation 😂😊🛠️🙏✝️👍

Looks like you’re somewhere on the FL panhandle where I live…would have loved to have a coffee or beer and shoot the breeze with ya….enjoy the family time, I had to laugh at this odd adventure. We all now know where you learned your automotive skills from, your Dad must also be a great American.

That plane transition gets my like haha

"probably.. Hopefully." has got to be my favorite catchphrase of yours. ^_^

I love the look of the four window front. That’s quite the adventure you and the fam are undertaking. Looks fun. Good luck and can’t wait until the next video

that was a good one love the old KW

I loved watching this. You embark on the neatest projects and always find the neatest things. This was very enjoyable.

Ok I busted out laughing at the back up camera that was just a CCTV system. LOVE IT

You got the magic bus! Now, when you start it, look at the fam and tell them, you're either on the bus, or off the bus.

30:00 I beg to differ on the "whole country freezing". Warming up in SW AZ. ♨ Best of luck on the rest of your trip.

Love that bit of copper pipe for the windshield wipers. Bus is great, awesome you seemed to of fixed the overheating issue. Look forward to seeing more of it, and I'd love to see that electric sander in action. Probably won't get any use where you're at, but cool nonetheless. Seems similar to those automatic chain things ambulances have.

Hi those sanders, some trains have them also I learned.

What an adventure! So glad you shared this whole thing. I love this channel.

What a great old bus.

Great episode 👍

I'm glad you took us all along - you know, on YT. The idea of actually riding along is terrifying. ;)

An Excellent Adventure ! That’s a hekkuva vehicle 👍

I have a 55 Kenworth Pacific, with the original 501 gas Inline 6 and a 5 speed. Brought back some great memories... Enjoy being pod people!!!

Love the white sands of the Panhandle! Good stuff.

So I love it. I may be wrong, but good old dad is a genius with a little tad of hack wonderful. It doesn't get any better than that.😊😊❤❤

This has to be one of the most entertaining videos I've seen you put out. Not that the others aren't entertaining, because they are, just this one was really cool.

Made a similar trip in our families school bus converted motor home from Albany, NY to KeyWest Florida then West to South Padre Island Texas KOA in February. My Dad put a rebuilt Cummins Turbo and a tranny with Highway gear ratio. I think we got about 12mpg. The generator was an Onan diesel and it had an air to air heat exchanger on the exhaust to heat the interior. Your kids will never forget that experience. I’m 64 and we did this back in 1978. I was 19.

I am jealous😢 very nice bus I've recently retired and have been looking for something with good bones to travel. That bus will last another couple generations

Very cool, tks for taking us along!

Your father was a real handy man, I love the way he has built everything. To take the bus on a 2000 mile trip proves that overall he has done a good job. Its great that he has a handy man son to keep the bus operational. I hope you and your family have many fun road trips. Enjoyed the video.

That looks like fun time! I love road-trips. I did a 1600 mile round trip in December on my Fj Cruiser, not as cool as this bus but still had a good time.

Did around 2000 miles round trip in a week last autumn in my '99 Ford Taurus, it was an absolute blast. Apart from a wheel bearing that decided it was its time to go, no trouble at all!

I'm living vicariously through your adventures. I've always wanted to get a Skoolie or a full size bus like yours and travel the country..

I love the little vintage tv used as a backup camera.

This all about a 70 year old Kenworth Bus, a cross country road trip and what could go wrong, Many Things!!! Thank God for Yankee Ingenuity!!! Thank you thoroughly enjoyed the video.

Great content, love the old bus , looking forward to your next 👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Can't beat an Old Kenworth. Bus and a Cummins...Great Adventure . Should of stopped by when You went through WV...LOL..Can't wait to see The 2nd part of Your Adventure...Great Video Sir...Making Memories...

That CRT backup camera is the coolest thing I’ve ever seen😂

That was fun thanks for taking us along

This is more fun then watching movie ! ! hello from 🇲🇾

Nice bus . Yeah it needs to run.

That bus is awesome! I would totally roll around in something like that! Especially with the CB!

This is the type of video that makes KZread a must watch. This is Awesome Sauce.

Really enjoy your style of videos, keep up the great work.

That Lego recreation of the flight was perfection.

Your flight depiction had me in tears😂😂😂... classic... new fan❤

Love it, great adventure makes a good video! Keep ‘em coming.

I don’t camp, I don’t have a bus, I’ve always avoided buses actually. I’ve really enjoyed this series.

Man I love your work! You’re a awesome dude! I hope y’all are still nice and warm down there!! Was cool to see y’all go through maw maw ivey’s state, come say hello if y’all do again! 😂

excellent family adventure

Am amazed at this guy’s knowledge of these vehicles,

You're so lucky to have so much

Looks like a blast. I hope you all have a great and safe trip

Love your engineering escapades .

Great road trip, great video. Hello from Maine

I love old buses, trucks, cars, aircraft, ship and my old lady( I’m over 70, so don’t dare tell my wife’s age). I subscribed to your channel a long time ago but utube never brings it up. Great content and enjoy the dry humor. Take care from Alaska

Wiper switch was hilarious! A lot to like on the bus but that wiring is a nightmare

I worded as a mechanic on big truck , i can.t tell you how many times i went on a call for no start and found it in gear.

I hope you spend the rest of the year making this thing perfect. Forget the rest of your projects

I've had a 1962 bus since 1996. Every single trip has been an adventure.

Beautiful machines all these old buses.

And now.... I'm dying to meet your dad!

I'm in love with the bus! A dream of mine to get one

Like Father like son.

neat old bus, lovin the ride so far, yea them hose connections were shotty but a little tightening an itll getcha there an back

HA!. You had me with the lego-jet re-enactment.

That was a awesome dramatization of the flight. I enjoyed it.

Awesome show.Great looking TRAVAL BUS

Wow that is a really neat bus! And it comes with lots of fun problems to solve, haha.

Looks like fun!

A positive attitude and a loose grip on reality can be the source for wonderful memories!

We need more of the magic that is LBG!! Love this channel

Words can't describe...😏....the fun...😜Got to be the real...American dream...

Great stuff! Looks like the Apple did not fall too far from the tree. Thanks for another great video.

When the low buck expert needs to step up his sketchiness you gotta call dad.

Loving the road trip. Great video.

First time I've watched this channel and I was not disappointed!!! Really enjoyed the video.

This legend of a man is like Red Green and Hank Hill perfectly hybridized. This is the kind of content I wanna see.

Lucky man that is a cool old bus for trip of a life time

The way i see it… You are a real son off your father.. I love your show, and i have fun. Thanks too you, and your Dad,👍👍👍❤️

Don't know how you keep a straight face with the dry humor ? Love it. Subbed yesterday after watching you bull your way to moving the green monstah !

I appreciate you going through your thought processes to fix things. Some of it is obvious, but some is not!

My home is labeled that way, with comments and instruction's on tape, tags, etc. I figure it will help the folks that move in when I leave this mortal coil.👍🙏
