Cool machine, can't wait to see you complete the conversion and painting. Welcome to the GMC owners nuts, I don't even know what a 3101 is but will do some research. This must be one of the oldest GM buses on the board from the looks of it? | ||

John - Welcome to the madness! If you can post the VIN on your coach, we can tell you who the lucky first owner was. It should be something like PD3101-xxxx or TD3101-xxxx. Fill in the missing numbers for us. . . FWIW & HTH. . .  | ||

John - Thanks for posting the VIN info. From what I can find, TGH3102-915 was part of a three bus order (914, 915, 916) delivered new in August of 1958 to the University of California at Berkley. Just noticed from your profile that you're in Campbell. Please PM me - I'm a native of the same town! Simply click on my name to get my PM addy. FWIW & HTH. . . |
