Bus Needs Restoring, 1960 GMC PD-4104
I first purchased this bus in about 2005. It had been sitting for more than five years and was literally falling apart. I put back ir together and began traveling around the country working in National Parks and Campground in the summer and heading south for warmer weather in the winter. I have been back and forth across the country a number of times. The bus is showing the wear. I need to restore the insides and get it mechanically fit again. I had acute kidney failure last year and guess what, you need your kidneys. Poor kidney function has resulted in loss of strength and endurance. I believe that if I take it slow, I can get her back on the road. Please like, subscribe and share. I will be following my progress with Youtube videos. Thanks for watching.
