What a beautiful coach...that will never get tired of looking at. Like Frank Lloyd Wright design homes. It will always have the streamline & lean look.
GMC coaches are design to be people pleasing to get on board.
I believe there is no other mass production except Flxible has yet made the most fuel efficient for the most passengers per vehicle weight as GMC.
John...Great photo!
Sojourn for Christ, Gerald
What a beauty!!
Thanks guys!
Very nice looking work especially the front wiring box. Any chance you have a schematic of what you did, did you run all new wires to the back, how many etc (ie. which systems are now obsolete)....? Need to do this one day....
Also where is the air tank in you tool room now?
Zubzub,
The air tank is back in the tool room as well as the air and electric horns. The picture was a progress picture.
As far as the electrical goes, Yes it was a complete rewire front to back.
I am now working on documenting the wiring.
I ran 21 conductors (wires) front to back I have only five spare and after I add my jake brake i will have only two spare.
All the hardware for the moto gard (engine shut down) was already gone so I used the moto gard light for no oil pressure.
I think that I will get a couple of diodes and use it for engine hot also.
I am going to combine the house and bus 12 volt so i am going to use the reading and general light switch on the dash.
have fun John
