Southboundhound Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm looking to buy a vintage bus and I'm trying to find out which ones are made out of aluminum or stainless steel rust free and which ones to stay away from. My favorite by far is a GM 4104 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest THE TRAILERKING Posted October 3, 2015 Report Share Posted October 3, 2015 I know the '93 MCI I had was pretty much all stainless steel. The floors in the basement were aluminum riveted to the stainless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tumbleweed Posted October 7, 2015 Report Share Posted October 7, 2015 Southbound: Here is a link to a couple who have a 1960's GM Bus http://www.technomadia.com/blog/. They have a GM PD 4106. They have a lot of information about their renovations and cost. Dave Dave 2008 Airstream 34’ Classic Trailer Dodge Ram 2500 Cummins CTD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dreamscape Posted October 9, 2015 Report Share Posted October 9, 2015 This is a quote from mcibustalk.com My experience in viewing various bus forums, is that any bus will rust. Especially if it came from the northern states where they use salt. Just make sure you buy one from a drier climate. We have had several 4104's for sale over on our Facebook group page, Bus Conversions International. They are a good coach at 35'. MCI's are mostly stainless steel skin and framing from the passenger floor down. the actual floor of the bus bays is aluminium. The engine framing is stainless. I think on the late MC-s, the 5C and the 9, the framing behind the front skin is stainless. The framing above the passenger floor is mild steel, the skin on mine is aluminium, the roof framing is mild steel and the roof is aluminium.That's based on me looking at my bus, anyway.Brian Becky and Paul Lawry 1968 Silver Eagle Model 01 VIN # 7443 8v71 Allison HT 740 2011 Buick Enclave Full Timing Our Travel Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
