1959 flxible...wheres the clutch pedal

[Jim Blackwood]

Personally I'm completely clueless. Could be a button for all I know.

Anyway I think the stupid questions were all in fun, hope you see it that way.

One of those mysteries that we can have fun with.

Did you like the old Darrin on BEWITCHED or the new one?

Was the bus used on MASH a school bus at one time?

Ok I'm done for now.

Should you use never- seize on lug nuts?🙄

I would never use any anti-seize on anything especially lug nuts,reason being a true torque specification is never achieved. I personally use "Milk of magnesia"...YEP!!!, you read this correctly, it's known as the "MOM" treatment. Milk of magnesia,once dried leaves a dry powdery film (magnesium hydroxide) that is impervious to temperature ranges above 2,500°F and is used in applications such as Jet Engine glow plugs and will allow resistance when torquing as an untreated threaded bolt surface.
    To apply, simply dip or brush on threaded surfaces and allow it to dry to a powdery film. I've learned of this little trick by watching my Father who worked in the Aviation industry for over 30 years, sounds strange, but "IT WORKS".
    Kind regards,Eric.

Yes, sorry Gary maybe that was a little extreme but it was all in fun as far as I know.

I know it's all in fun but this board goes from one extreme to the other. I try to respect everyone whether it's the dream of owning a bus that has them on the site or the fact that they have owned buses for decades.  Everyone has something to contribute. Looks like I get the last laugh on my other post when the GM archives confirmed that my chassis is correct and a former custom coach employee validated it further. So gm did make a pusher chassis. What time will you guys be over for dinner?

[CrabbyMilton]

I have some brochures to prove that GM built such a chassis and most were for skoolies. I think they stopped building those in the mid 70's. They had the GMC V6 gasoline engines that were monsters and they seemed to discontinue that chassis when they stopped building those V6 engines and for some reason, never offered the GM big block V8's like the other truck and bus chassis that GM had at the time. So they all but handed it over to IH.
Dinner huh? If you're having steak or ribs, I'll be there and I'll bring the bourbon barrel stout.

[Jim Blackwood]

Always wondered about those white threads, never knew why. MUST be a commercial version, wonder what it is?

Dinner? did someone say Dinner? Hey I'm in! Just tell me what to bring.
