help needed with an old flxible

[flxible]

Hi, everyone.
I am new to the bus world, so please be patient with me.
I have a 1966 flxible bus converted into a motorhome, my wife and I thought it would great for the kids. Does any one have or know where to get information on what I have and where to get parts? The model is 411gdc2 with a 504 cummins and an allison trans #tr3161a.

Thanks to all in advance.

Welcome to the insanity!!

I'm sure there will be someone here who can tell you more about your bus.  If you have a photo we would like to see it, as it may spark some interest in what you have.

Welcome to madness.
Somewhere out there there is a web page with some good tips on brake upgrades etc for flxes.  http://flxibleowners.org/ (found it).  This board is awesome and I'll say the same thing I always say, if you like reading read all the threads starting at the beginning moving forward
http://www.busconversions.com/bbs/index.php?board=1.9500
  this will give you tons of troubleshooting and problem solving info re: buses in general.

I jealous.  Sure wish there was a similar group for GMs.

Charles,

GMC owners are too independent to have any thing as fancy as the Flx site or the Prevost Prouds or the Iggles Red Zone 

OK OK, it's NOT because we're too independent...
We're too cheap and too broke!
The closest thing we have is the Yahoo free web group..

Both the Cummins 504 and Allison iron case 6 spd have been out of production for many years and parts are getting hard to obtain-not even mentioning working on the old 504.  Good Luck, TomC
