Subject: 1948 GMC PD3751 "Silversides" Greyhound
I own this beautiful example of a PD3751 which was converted
to an RV. It only has three inadequacies I would change;
lack of power steering, air ride, and an under powered 671DD
for it's weight. It is however the most wonderful coach I
know of. I am looking for this model coach in original
pristine condition with all original equipment for people
transport, if there are any left. I have a good
conditioned 1978 GM 4509A coach I would trade for the right
PD3751.

I have a silversides I must sell. I am moving and have no room for it.
I
had planned to restore it, but time and money considerations have made
it impractical. Please ad it to your list of buses for sale. I am
sending a photo. It runs fine. The engine has been rebuilt and has
about
500 hours on it. It has all its seats and still has the airconditioner.
I have not tried to start the airconditioner motor. I replaced most
of
the wireing some years ago. It needs a better home.
Hello-
I'm terribly sorry for the size of the pictures I sent you of the Yellow Coaches last week. I didn't realize they were so large until after I had sent them. I am trying to figure out a photo editing program to make them smaller. When I do that, would you like me to send them again. I have also attached two pictures of the Silversides we have for sale. I have more photos if interested. This is a 1948 GM PD3751 37 passenger Silversides. It is in great condition, and was painted and decaled several years ago. As you can see, it has full Greyhound markings. The interior is also in good shape, all seats are in it. Some of you may have seen it at different bus gatherings in the past.
Thanks a lot, we really appreciate you posting these for us.
Sincerely,Brian
Henderson

Subject: Finding a good home for a classic motorcoach built on a GMC
PD-3751 chassis.
Hello,
I am looking to find a good
home for my 1947 PD-3751 "Silversides." I
don't use it much anymore and has lots of life left in her. It was
converted
into a motorhome back in the 1970s. It has more power than many newer
converted coaches. The clutch is solid and does not slip. Diesel soot
is
virtually non existent where the naked eye is concerned. It's equipped
with
spring brakes in the rear. In addition to the specs I have also included
some
pictures. The rear tires have less than 3,000 miles on them. The front
tires
have lots of tread (like new in thickness) but are a bit older than
the tires
in the rear. If you or anyone else have any questions please
feel free to
email me at topsax@aol.com or via my mobile # at 702-523-4254. It was
purchased in Portland, OR at Fred's RV back in 1994. -Chris

Date: Sat, 7 Nov 1998 10:19:59 EST From: CWBUS@aol.com Subject: Antique Fleet Reduction To All Concerned: After much consideration, I have after almost 20 years of bus collecting, decided to trim the fleet to a size that I can manage. My charter business is growing(thank God), and it is something I really want to make work, so something has to give. I'm also not getting any younger(21+), and the prospects of a museum in this area able to display the buses is just as far away as it seemed 20 years ago. So, following is what is available and the particulars for each coach. 1. PD 4151-236. 1948 Silversides. Ex-Greyhound #6226. League of Their Own team bus. Runs good. Needs some electrial work. Price $4000 2. TDM 5108-105. 1956. X-Greyhound of Ohio and Somerset Bus Co. #9967. Recently tuned up. Has small oil leak. Price $3000 3. TDH 4801-498. 1958. X-Los Angeles #5191. Excellent condition body wise. Haqs small oil leak. Price $2500 4. SDM 5301-166 1960 early Fishbowl. X-Red & Tan #90. Almost totally restored. Hard to sell, but I just have too many. Price $3500. 5. T6M 5306-047. 1968. Ex Public Service Z546. An oddity. Stick shift one door transit, only ordered by Public Service. One of 50 I believe. Price $2300 6. T6H 4523N-355. 1973. Ex AC Transit #817. Tough to part with since I drove this cross country. Minor transmission leak, easily repairable. Great shape Price $3000 7. SDM 5302-226. 1964 Glasstop. Ex-Grey Line of New York. Another oddity. Stick shift with low seats, luggage bays, and sight seeing windows. Body has a few dents, but otherwise runs good. Price $1500 8. P8M 4905A-2024. 1978 GMC Deck. Ex Public Service 607K. Delivered as automatic, even though serial number indicates otherwise. Body has some dents, nothing terrible. Just put in another engine. Interior not bad. Price $2500. Finially, the above totals $22,300. For those of you daring enough to want them all, a package is available for either $20,000, or pay the list price above and get absolutely free an authentic New York City Fishbowl, T6H 5310-052, a 1973 only built for New York transit bus. This is not for sale unless the whole package is purchased. This bus makes me good movie bucks, so I hesitate to part with it. Now, be aware that every bus listed above, in some cases with just minor work, and in other cases as is, can literally be driven to wherever you are going, including California. I also am not selling these to be scrapped or converted; I worked too hard for too long to save this stuff, and I will keep them myself if I can't find a good home. I would like to move this stuff before the cold of winter comes in, if possible. I would appreciate anyone who sees this to please pass it along to clubs, collectors, whoever you think may be interested. Thank you for your time. My phone number is work-908-221-1199, home 908-719-7625, until November 18th, when I am moving. My work number stays the same.
