Title: Trying to find history for a GMC 4905 bus
Post by: runaway on May 08, 2013, 11:16:31 AM
I'm considering the purchase of a GMC 4905 bus.  Can anyone with access to the buyer list tell me the first buyer or any history info for P8M4905A-1443?

Thanks!

Thanks so much.  A rust-belt bus :(

By the way, is there some publicly available list out there that shows this information? I'd love to have quick access to something like that as I continue to shop around.

Run,

There are lists here: http://www.oocities.org/~buslist/GM_Delivery.html#Parlor, (http://www.oocities.org/~buslist/GM_Delivery.html#Parlor,)  but they are not as complete as the ones RRT or RJ have access to.

For instance this list has no record of my bus(1308) or the one you're looking at (1443).

Bob

GMC's of those vintages aren't affected as much from road salt as the MCI, Eagles, and Flx's. You'll need to get it somewhere where you can get underneath to check it out.
