Discover the vibrant charm of this 1951 GMC School Bus, painstakingly reworked and featuring a striking School Bus yellow that captures the essence of its vintage I.S.D. roots. This unique vehicle is not just a nostalgic nod to the past but a powerful machine under the hood. It boasts a robust 454 CID GM crate engine, Edelbrock intake, Quadrajet carb and a set of Sanderson cast iron headers, all paired with a smooth 700R4 automatic transmission with a shift kit & trans cooler, promising both reliability and a truly unique driving experience. The entire suspension was donated from a 1986 GMC Dually Camper Special, with a 3" drop, newer BelTech spindles, wheel bearings, seals, lines, brake calipers & the addition of the Detroit-Eaton 3" drop leaf springs and rear sway bar with an EZ Stop electronic E-brake, giving you some extra piece of mind while out on your cruises!

All the tinted glass and weatherstripping has been replaced, Classic gauges were added, 3M insulation was installed, all the exterior lenses were replaced & all of the brightwork was rechromed, leaving really nothing needed but a fresh tank of fuel in the 42 gallon stainless fuel tank.
