Driving My 1962 GM PD4106 Bus

Ойын-сауық

In this video, you see me driving my 1962 GM PD4106 bus, as well as get a tour of the inside! This bus originally was a Greyhound Bus PD4106-1346. Central Greyhound Lines Kansas City Missouri, put into service 4/7/62. The bus has an 8V-71 Detroit Diesel engine, with an Allison V-730-D Automatic Transmission. It has been retrofitted as an RV, with front lounge, and kitchen and dining area, bunk beds, a bathroom, and a rear bedroom.

    that interior in the rear is wonderful. a tasteful escape from the minimalist corporate garbage you see in the mainstream now. no LEDs either 😊

    No power steering! Imagine trying to drive that bus with NO POWER STEERING AND SHIFTING a non-synchronized transmission, DOUBLE CLUTCHING, AND IN CITY TRAFFIC with passengers for many hours. One hand on the wheel and one on the shifter. It was A LOT OF WORK. I used to do that when I was young. It's so painful to watch you turn. Good luck with that. Check out my bus if you haven't already.

    @@sidallen685 Was an option i'm pretty sure, but i've heard that the hydraulic ram used was more like power-assist and still pretty difficult to turn at low speeds or a standstill (which is why so many were retrofitted with a Sheppard box, including mine).

    Yes, if setup right the steering was fairly light, but only if it was setup properly. I drove a 1960s GM transit bus for years with manual steering, until we got ram- assisted steering.

    You need a V730, flywheel, bellhousing spacer to clear the cradle and bulkhead beam, longer input shaft to match, cooler, filter, shifter and kickdown (either cable or air), a bit of trimming on the cradle and bulkhead is required, as well as possibly a custom driveshaft. A bit of work, Bus Grease Monkey did a few videos on converting Lance's 4106 if you look back through them. P.S. I have a spare V730 with everything but the spacer and input shaft if anyone's looking (located in AZ).
