I found a rat Infested vintage 1948 Ford F5 School Bus Abandoned in the forest for over 25 years! Let's get it running and clean it up, then drive it out and back to the Church it used to reside! This is a compilation of all the videos from over a year period of time. I re-edited them all down into one epic revival video. This was such a great journey and an amazing ending! Must Watch!

These old historical relics represent the very best of how America used to be until the build quality went down under. I've always had a much stronger affinity towards the classic and vintage machines that once roamed the roads back when they were in their prime. Bringing the bus back to life was perhaps one of your best life decisions made yet thus far. Mad props for waking up the beast that spent far too long in silence and neglect.

This is one of the most enjoyable videos that I have seen in quite some time. You are really dedicated to do the job the way it is supposed to be done, and you hit it right out of the ballpark . Congratulations and I might add, the coachwork was done by Superior Coachwork in Detroit Michigan after after the rolling chassis was finished. Originally, it was fitted with a cab, and Superior cut the back of the cab off. And they fabricated the bus bodywork to the cab. The rest, is history.

Those old ford y blocks were pretty damn tough engines, the only major issues are the upper oiling hole on the cam bearing clogging which starved the rocker shaft and valve train of oil and very skinny pushrods that bend very easily if a valve sticks a bit. As long as a high zinc oil is used, these motors will keep on going. I recommend 10w-40 viscosity especially if the motor is high mileage. I’m working on a 54 ford with a 292 y block in it. Keep the rpms below 4500 and the motor will happily keep going for years. These engines make torque down low like a big block. The valves will need periodic adjustments and oil changes every 3000 miles but otherwise these motors don’t usually need much. Take care of them and they will take care of you.

A little tip for you and you may already know is to always crank an engine like that.. that has been setting for alit of years is to use 2 cycle oil so that the valve guides and valve face...it just helps not to have such a dry start

Nice job ! Great video ! Great work effort ! My tips: Dip/clean/seal/paint tank (POR-15). Use rot hole for access to upper tank components (build custom door). Maybe install back-up tank for additional (cheap) fuel. Bathtub replace with fiberglas for weight, excellent idea with bed over the top. Change diif, and trans fluid to synthetic (Amsoil). Solar panels, luggage rack, and roof access. Insulate all 6-sides. Wall between drivers area and rear (secondary security to rear area). Replace all bulbs with LED. Repaint all white with black trim (to include ugly green interior). Remove/reseal all windows before painting. Scrub, wire brush entire bottom, then undercoat. Make custom (hollow) bumpers to store sewage and water hoses. Rain catchment from roof with valves (if you have drip rails). I may have missed this (chemical flush of water passages in block)... and to top it off... what all my buddies yell at me.. "turbo and nitros"... LOL !

Super cool bus, I like how the rear wheel wells are stamped to mimic the fenders of the pickup, great job and done right and safe, only thing I'd done differently would be to have painted the wheels the school bus color to make it pop like it did when you first showed it in the woods. Really neat bus you got and great job getting it back on the road. 👍

@CountryBoyGasGarage 7 месяцев назад

Hey Thanks! It's been a great journey. The rear fenders really sets it apart from others and gives it a classic look. I'm still thinking of painting the wheels back to yellow.

I owned one the same year same model. I got mine in Beulah Colorado in the 80s loved that old bus . My wife and 6 kids lived out of it for almost a year. Stretched a large truck tarp off the side for a porch. Had a stove. Icebox, sink , and table, and a set of bunk beds. I wish I still had that thing. Love the video!
