12:18 That's the noise that made me a bus enthusiast. That's what I heard every day when I was in school.

She's a beauty!! Definitely makes me miss my school bus driving days!

Now that is what I call a grocery getter - You know how to enjoy the journey, keep it up Ben - Cheers

You done a good job on the bus. I member your dad driving our school bus on Baker ridge when I growing up

I never was interested in buses till your videos now I am looking forward to getting mine and making a half camper/half heavy duty truck

I WOULDN'T MIND HAVING A BUS 🚍 LIKE THIS ONE ❤❤REMINDED ME OF MY HIGH SCHOOL 🚸 DAYS

Beautiful old bus. They sure don't build em like that anymore. The bus I drove my last 2 years of bus driving was a 1994 international, but with an automatic transmission. Same engine that your bus had though. It was everyone's favorite to drive and they all fought over who'd get it next when I retired. The other difference was that mine had a blue bird body and an air ride drivers seat. Hearing the engine of your old girl made me miss that familiar sound from my beloved old 1994.

Nice fun ride with your bus 👍🏻. Have a great Sunday Ben 🙂🙋🏼‍♂️👍🏻

Will Ben, I didn't see any kids waiting for the bus LOL. I love road trips. You could take a lot of friends with you! We have TSC up here, but they changed the name of them to Peavy for some reason. That's a smooth-running bus. I was just thinking, you could pick up a lot of part in that bus lol. Thanks for the road trip.

Good morning Ben.The bus seems to be running great.The tree's even without leaves look very beautiful.The curves in the road was almost made me dizzy, but I surely enjoyed the ride and the beautiful scenery.Have a blessed day and stay Safe.Waiting on next video.,🚜💯👏👍❤️🙏

That was a nice road trip to downtown Norton and it’s definitely nice out in Southwestern Virginia

I BET IT CAN HANDEL LOTS OF THINGS AND LOTS OF GROCERIES AND SUPPLIES ❤❤

Morning Ben. I was wondering your thoughts while driving that bus on its familiar routes. Imagine you looking in the rear view mirror and seeing your younger self seating in a seat. Life can go by so fast and childhood memories are precious. A Nobel laureate once said that the one thing wisest among us can not do is draw up a list of things that would never occur to us. I imagine your trip, as much as we all enjoyed it, was much more meaningful for you. Thanks for bringing us all along my friend. Enjoy your Sunday.

Runs pretty good for an old school bus 👍

Didnt know your name was Ben, my bus drivers name is Ben, me and him are good buddies! Love your bus. - Kody

How's she goin'? Ben you must be pretty happy with how the bus worked. Seems to run nice and the brakes worked well too eh!!! I could tell you were in your happy place setting behind the wheel of this old family friend!!! Take care!!!

13:10. That clutch and start out though.

Love you bus Ben! You all have done a great job on it. Have a great day and may God bless…

I LOVE TO HAVE A OLDER MODEL SCHOOL 🚸 BUS 🚍 ❤❤I LOVE THEM

That black paint was a great idea. I like that bus so much! Rural King has more selection and often better prices, but my local RK does a horrible job at restocking farm supplies in the correct places. The restock people put top links with the trailer jacks, trailer jacks with the hydraulic cylinders, towing accessories in the wrong aisle, etc. Sometimes they give up and try to hide parts UNDER the gondola shelving or behind other products. Hydraulic rams are often hidden behind the pto shafts. It's frustrating, but I think it's just our local labor, not a company-wide RK issue. It looks like the Benmobile is running well and ready for a big road trip! What's the comfortable cruising speed on the interstate? You're knocking on 4K subs. Great job!

I felt like I was traveling to Norton with you Ben...in your big black bus. Fun! Thanks for the ride.

Slap some #3 decals on the side and take the gang to Bristol!! 😉😉

Good evening Sir, that bus look brand new to me 👍👌😊 The last time that we had a Texaco stations in Canada, it was when the nationalize the fuel industry back in mid 70's ( so they buy Texaco, Gulf, BP, Sunoco ) to cut the real competition between them ( we had the same fuel quality than in Europe and we had British Gallon back then ) to create Petro-Canada and converting to US Gallon and keep the same price and then to litres and sell the Brand New Form Cie ( Petro Canada ) to foreigner country interested few years later,,, That is how half the fuel Refineries were shut down in Montreal and in the Maritimes too,,, Did you know that All the Petrol ( crud oil ) in Canada is not a part of the national strategic resources like you good folks ??? Ho boy, that we had an OUTSTANDING Prime Minister back then,,, what was is name,,, Pierre Elliot Trudeau,,, OH, wait a minute it is his own son now running the country 😤🙄🥴 Ho dear GOOD God, Save us all 🥴🤣🤭😂👌🍁✨🚀 WHAT you paid 1600 us fond for that bus,,, that just a little over 2040 cnd fond 🥴 Boy are we getting screw here, they still selling 20 yrs old rusty and beat up pick up truck more than 10k, it is so great to be a Canadian 😂🤣🥴🍁 I hope that I make you laugh a little about my not so great sence of humor 🤣😂👍 Great engine sound and fun to see that you have no more snow 👌👍😉 Yep you are doing very good double clutch 👍👌😉 You convert that bus into a very nice camper for traveling 😉👌👍 Very nice road seeing ( I did followed you in google maps ) 👍👌😉 Cheers 🍻

Beautiful country up there. I would be inclined to turn it into a RV. Clean slate to work with. Just my two cents. Sure sounds good.

You and your family did a really amazing job masking and painting the bus, Ben. Seeing the original yellow under the hood reminded me a bit of the movie Used Cars for some reason LOL. That's such a beautiful drive on the hills and in the curves. Thanks for the ride!

Awesome ride, and I love the sound of that big ol International. I had one of your videos playing, and my wife heard your accent and said "he sounds like one of us (we're from Arkansas)." We really like all of your videos.

That trans is like a 4 speed with a granny. Most spicer transmissions are like that. You get a crawl like gear in 1st for hills, take off and idling through the bus pickup line. Only need 1st for maybe 1500 rpms before you grab 2nd

we use to have some of the Amtran Genesis International's that had that same motor in them. only problem they ever gave us was the kill solenoid and some starters in 15 years of service. one of the best motors International ever made. no matter how cold it would start.

That’s a cool video, but it would be cool with the T444E since this bus that you’re driving is the mechanical DT466, but the T444E belongs to your mom and dad

All my Tommy-Bus needs is a Turbo Upgrade.

we have 28 coming up for bid....I can afford to buy one... can't decide. DT466 mechanical injection pump DT466 E T444 T444e Cummins.... I like the sound best of the T444E.."7.3".. all automatics bc of the hills here in Arkansas and none of the Women could drive a manual transmission bus. I do want an Amtran over the Bluebirds or Thomas.. all the Carpenters and Wards have been gone as of a few years ago.. no Waynes or Superiors left in years!!!

Good video Ben I was wondering what engine do I look for n those dump trucks

i knew i recognized that first road you were on tacoma mountain im from over in appalachia

Nice trip love ride along, can’t find them you grande them lol, did it take you back down memory lane.

Good video of the bus, just curious, are they made heavy duty enough to make a flatbed out of them for hauling things like your tractors if you wanted to? Just curious, That would be a lot of work though, and probably cheaper, (labor and steel wise) to just buy a trailer....just thinking out loud...

My bus look like that bus

You are a long way from Richmond indeed

OH! That's a manual shift.

when looking at used buses, what should you be checking for? what do they normally sell for?

I LIKE TO TURN MINE IN TO A R.V.CAMPER

Anytime I see the Blue Tube on KZfaq earns a subscribe from me, lol. !!!

Since this is my last year of high school. Can I buy some stuff to make it look a little bit better

How many mpg with the 5 speed?

I JUST LOVE ❤❤THOES OLD INTERNATIONAL SCHOOL 🚸 BUS 🚍 ❤❤

How many money did you bought that thomas international 3800?

Matthewgeorgesellscholbus😊

I would sure love to have that boss like internationals for 3800 in the Thomas built buses
