A 4108 or 4905 ( Buffalo ? )
Just guessing since you didn't specify what it was you wanted to know about.
How many axles? Whether it was a city bus or highway (tour or hound) bus?
So far there are probably 10 possibilities but the 6V92 would be a problem unless the bus had the engine changed. Probably actually an 8V71 original.
Is it automatic or manual shift?
Does the engine sit across the back of the bus? |

Ok I bought the bus it's a P8M4905A893 I believe it is a 40 foot bus as it has 3 cargo bays per side but only one rear axle and should be a 1974 so some of the last buggalo i believe Kevin webb should be able to tell me more.
Is this 12 volt?
8 to 10 MPG should be abt right?
how big should fuel tank be?
should pick it up friday
then I will know more hope it makes it back to Quartzsite from San Jose

My '70 4905 is a 24V.
It gets around 10 mpg, and has a 145 gal fuel tank.
Hope all goes well!
Cheers!

P8M4905A893 from GMC to Smith's Charter Bus Service
(Royal Coach)Fremont,CA. Fleet number 523 12/1974.
Is this 12 volt? No the Bus is 24VDC neg ground.
8 to 10 MPG should be abt right? (6&7 MPG)
how big should fuel tank be? It could have the(optional)larger fuel tank 165 US gallons.
I think the standard tank was 135 or 145 gallons.
There was a total of 2028 P8M4905A coaches built.
The last Buffalos were the H8H-649 and there were only 233 of these coaches built.
