Where can a right hand steering charter bus be found in us?

Almost nowhere, exept in a car museum: People drive there on the right side of the road and a right hand steering wheel position would seriously impede the driver's view and put the passengers of the bus gravely at risk. No US charter company would ever take the risk (and liability) of sending a bus on the road with the steering wheel in the 'wrong' place.

How do you fix my turn signal switch on the steering wheel on a 83 Chevy caprice classic?

In most cases you will need to replace the turn signal switch on the steering wheel for your 1983 Chevy Caprice Classic rather than fixing it. To replace it, remove the horn pad and then use a steering wheel puller and compressor to remove the steering column. You will then remove the signal along with the wiring harness and bus fuses. Replace the signal and wiring and then replace the steering column itself.
