cool bus.
what power train do you have?
how well does it move it?
would it not be a b600 instead of b6000?
have a good day

Thanks! I was told B6000 GMC chassis, maybe I'm wrong? It has the chevy 350 / turbo 400 and it goes.

That a 350 small block? The TH400 is a strong tranny,

Lots of options if you decide to improve the drivetrain -- only worth it if you put on a lot of miles...

cool
plenty of parts and knowledge to be had for your set up.
i was thinking ford because my bus is a b700 and they make big trucks that are the 6000,7000, and 8000 series.
i can build that motor almost blind folded and have thought about building a 454 or 460 for my bus when something happens to mine because i know them better than diesel but i do know diesels also but more concerned with the wear and tear or how much to ramp a big block gas to move my 60 passenger bus at the speed i want (55-65) easily
so kinda keeps me in the diesel mind set.
good luck

I saw you put new belts on it when you got it. Do you happen to know what belts they were? I'm pretty sure we have the same model and I need to replace the belts but can't tell what they all are. Thanks!
