What a cool truck! Thanks for the video. What part of Germany are you in? We drove trucks a little newer and even some a little older during my time with the U.S. Army back in the 60's. The picture below is of Transportation Motor Pool in Kaiserslautern, Germany, some other cool old trucks.

here are his pics of the build, I think its a Buick engine Ron.... http://rides.webshots.com/album/305656139MAggzN .
That is a righteous cruiser! I love those old COEs and would love to build one of my own - someday. I wonder if a small sleeper from an old 18 wheeler could be cut down and fit to create back seats and more room.... That is a great looking and must be a fun driving truck.
That's the first time I have seen that COE - I think the thing that I like is the subtle way the rail bed sides are graduated and give the impression of scalloped wings ... nice touch. I watched that whole video jealously drooling over the truck and crossing my fingers hoping to see Koos light the tires. Very cool.
