Bus Collection: 1957 GM 4104, 1948 4151 and 1948 3751 Silversides
Here is my 1957 General Motors (GM) PD-4104 on left then a 1948 GM 4151 in the center and a 1948 GMC 3751 on the right.
The 4104 we take on the longer trips and the two older buses we take to local antique truck and equipment shows. I am currently working on another 3751 that I am modifying to be powered by a Mack engine and using a six speed Allison transmission.
I now own five silversides in all and have done extensive work and research on the mechanics of this model bus. If anyone would like any information I may have feel free to contact me.

I am looking for good sources for parts for my 1969 GMC TDH3301 "Baby Fishbowl". I know it is classified to be a light duty bus and has limited parts interchange with the bigger newlook busses. Anyone have any ideas?

Great web site. It harkens back to the time when driving silversides was a major part of my livelyhood.
