Hi there, all,
We have a 1960 GM 4104 and we are broken down in Palm Bay, FL. Does anyone know a mechanic in the area we can call? We have limited access to internet but you can reach us at 229-225-6549. The right rear air bag is not fully pumping up. A mechanic who looked at said he thinks it is the leveling valve which I understand to be the pressure release valve. We've also blown a tire and have another flat tire. I'm in the process of trying to locate a tire service. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Here is the # for a guy I know in Orlando. He's a little ways away. But he's a great bus mechanic and super nice guy. If he can't help ya, he'll probably know some who can.

Tell him his buddy from TN (with the Setra's) told you to call!

Got the tyres done this morning for $1003, by Glenn Tires in Melbourne. Thankyou to those have helped. The rear airbag is bad, does anybody know where we can locate one?

Not sure if this is the correct number, or not. Somebody could double check it. Luke should be able to help you out. http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=8093.0 (http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?topic=8093.0)
Thank you so much for all the help. This is our first major trip and so it has been baptism by fire. Glenn Tires directed us to G&C in Melbourne. They did not think they would find a part but it took about 20 min and they got one. Will be down Friday morning, so we hope to be on the way soon after.
We are shipping it to Haiti. My wife and I have formed a non-profit called Genesis 2:15 Ministries and will be moving to Haiti to teach self-sustainable agriculture using biblical principles. The bus was given to us in Jan of this year and has been my project since then. Follow the link www.genesis215ministries.org (http://www.genesis215ministries.org) and click on the Facebook button to see some pictures. The wood used in it is cyprus given to us by a subcontractor who pulled it out of a church, which by chance my father-in-law was the preacher at some years ago. Other than this trip, we have a total of about $3500 in it. It has been a blessing and joy working on it.
I have enjoyed this site and will continue to read. It has been rally informative and funny at times.
