I just brought home a 1959 36 passenger school bus. I drove it about 50 miles home without a problem. Mainly because I didn't get over 40 mph, otherwise the tires would have flown apart. I'm going to be looking for tires and probably some brake parts eventually. Where do you get parts that are specific to the big trucks?

Try your local parts store first. I've had better luck at the professional oriented stores.

Some of the parts are still readily available and some guys have been able to buy things like brake parts off the shelf. I've been able to buy things like tune-up parts at my local parts store.

Some of the other parts are the same as pickups and won't be hard to come by. And then some stuff is only available used and might be a challenge to find.

It's true. I really don't do anything but browse the Internet looking for trouble...
