    Here's another. I actually snagged the pics because I liked the colors. I was looking for some traditional colors for pickups.

    Yes, those two COE rods really are great examples of what can be done with a COE. I dig 'em! Thanks again, Rot n Custom!

    Yea, check on insurance if you go the ramp bed route.You will need full commercial hauler covereage even for personal use if you want what you are hauling insured. I will be converting mine from a ramp bed to ? some time down the road.
     
  6. Thank you, I saw this topic & started reading it & was shocked that no one was setting him straight on the year. Chevy Didn't make a "GM" COE till 39. The dash will tell you real quick weather it's a 39 or 40 Chevy.

    Put a Airstream on the back painted like a fuel delivery truck, no need to hook the cab to the Airstream. Or polish out the Airstream and make a milk hauler / motorhome.

    You do realize this thread has been dead for 20 years.

    Sometimes we forget to look at how old these threads are. Holy Cow! A lots of times it's neat when they come back to the top. I always look at the last time they were seen on the forum. It's probably sad that some of the original posters are no longer with us.
