Old Hudson School Bus !
-
FYI
Going thru some old pictures today I found a picture of a School Bus that an old friend and 'mentor', Kenny Fullerton, a long time Hudson enthusiast, grafted on a '54 Hudson front end. The Bus had a '55 Hornet 6 motor adapted onto the bus 4spd, then Kenny bolted a second Truck transmission behind the first for more gear selection and installed a 2spd rear end. The bus was a fully equipped camper and traveled regularly from Pa. to Florida easily climbing any hill during the '60's and 70's. Kenny was an 'innovator' fabricating all the adaptors himself in a back yard garage. I wish I had a picture of the drive train....

FYI
Incidently, I seen Frank & Mary Myers recently at the last Western Reserve Meet and both are doing ok.
Unfortionately, the Hudson Bus is eroding on an Amish farm near the Pa/Ny border where I last seen it about 5 yrs ago...
Incidently, Kenny Fullerton's youngest son Dan is operating a 'Hudson Garage' in Commerce Ga. complete with engine test stand -
There is/was a 1929 Hudson truck running around Kansas - may still be there. I saw it at the first Wichita National in 1990. That also had two trannys for more pulling power. You can read about it here - http://www.kansas.com/2012/03/31/2278886/elbert-the-mystery-truck.html

Yes, the discussion is on Facebook as well, with a lot of information/history filled-in. Only issue with viewing it is that you've got to be logged-in.
