Sup Tommy😊 Good To See You Again Sir You Got One Of My Most Favorite SB Of My Childhood In The 1990s In Chicago. I've Rode On A 1991 GMC Ward-Amtran C6000 (366 Gas V8 - Allison AT) 66 Pass Bus Operated By Rachel's Bus Company (Defunct) At The Time. This Bus Just Like This One Had Yellow Gold Tan Interior (Shine Good In Sunlight) Mocha Seats. I've Rode On The GMC & International 3800 Chassis Only Never Got A Chance To Ride The Ford B Series Chassis. If Only I Can Find Me A 1986 Ford Ward-Amtran Model That Would Be Gold To Me She Would Not See Snow & Paint That NYC Spec Yellow Tint The Windows & Yellow Rims Too Just Fire🔥. Anyway I Appreciate This Video With This Bus It Is Very Rare On YT. Much Love Fist Bump💙 Peace💚
Very nice bus and a great video. I own a 2003 Thomas Freightliner FS65. It took three years to convert. What a great ride. 60107 Illinois says hi. My profile pix is my bus.
I can only speak as a passenger, but I rode on several of these as a child, and not a single one of them broke down often. Those Ward buses also had the most comfortable seats I ever sat in. Also, there's nothing I love more than hearing an 8.2L Detroit Diesel in good condition.
My dad drove a 1991 Thomas Chevrolet 66 passenger school bus with the 8.2 fuel pincher just before it was retired in Indiana in 2001. That engine sounds just like I remember as a little kid.
Awesome! My grandmother drove a 1989 Ward GMC issued by the county. Her's was perhaps a 66-passenger. I lived in two counties in West Virginia. Any bus I rode with an AmTran or Ward Volunteer body was crazy slow when crossing a mountain. One was a Ward GMC. One time, a substitute driver put an automatic version in something lower than drive trying to get it to go faster up a hill. Instantly created his own version of a "Screamin' Jimmy" lol.
Happy new year to all of my subscribers! I have made a New Year’s resolution to create more videos! I am going through some older content and getting videos, updated and uploaded! I hope you enjoy!
Years Ago They Also Had A GMC On A Blue Bird Body As Well As GMC On A Carpenter Body, A GMC Propane Truck,A GMC Single Cab Wrecker Truck,A GMC Fire Truck, A GMC Crane Truck, A GMC Bridge Truck, A GMC Box Truck, And Even A GMC Single Axel Dump Truck.
I’ve got to count em up. Lol About 20, going to be more into restoration mode now instead of acquisitions unless an opportunity to trade up comes along.
I absolutely loved those GMs with the Detroit. They were the best to drive only issues i ever had was little hard to get good heat in bitter cold and somw of those GMs liked to wander a bit on the road. My first bus was a 88 with a Ward body.
This is my all time favorite bus! I rode in these in middle school! Nice video! I'd pay you to be able to ride in that bus to relive my past and love for this bus!
