From my experience way over priced. Mine was $1000 with title, sheet metal only. I also picked one up last year for $2500 with title. Both had...
Hey Jake, any chance you would consider selling the hood latches of your donor COE? Got a good friend in bad need of a pair. Love the progress and...
Still looking for hood latches for a '47-'55 COE.
I wish it was an error
An updated picture of my junk, now sporting a removable camper (a work in progress). Just returned from a 4000 mile road trip. [IMG] [IMG]
I will be next week, I have an electric fan. I will be heading to Colorado and the evenings are still a bit cooler then SC. After this trip I will...
OK, so I've made a little bit more progress on the camper. I will leave next week on a 4K mile road trip with this beast on the back. Rob [IMG]...
Making a little more progress on the turtle. Rob [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Yeah, good call on the boxes, I use mine for everything.
Hey Steve, I built mine for my truck. Mine is 12' long by 78" wide. For mine I used 2"X 3" 11ga. tubing with 7 cross braces and 4 running the...
OK, so I'm thinking about this. If your engine is turning clock-wise and your rear axle is moving you forward and you flip the engine and rear...
Wind noise?, yeah I have some of that, but not really that bad. On the AD Chevys they have windlace around the doors and outer door seals so it's...
Big size is the easy part. Now how much is this gonna cost?, that's the painful question. dropped over $800 on aluminum skin and rivets today,...
OK, so I haven't been posting much lately but I have been busy. I now have a completed shell for the Blue Turtle (new nick name). I have also...
I don't know of any off hand, but I will keep an eye out.
Yep, 11 Gage. you are correct, slide on camper. rent bumpers? I assume you mean front bumper. Isn't your truck a 41/46 COE? I shall call it "The...
OK, so some more changes for the truck: I pulled the wood off the bed and am working on installing a 11 ga. steel flatbed. I doing this because I...
Hey guys, I'm looking for hood latches for a '47-55 Chevy or GMC COE, I'm working on a '54 but I think all the latches are the same for the AD...
Haven't updated this thread in awhile so here goes: some of the recent mods. I added AC a couple of months ago. Man has that been nice. I added an...
12 foot long, 6 1/2 foot wide.
Ok, so day 1 was a long one. Started out at 6:00, got jammed in Atlanta, stopped for a picture in Alabama, and drove, drove, drove. 826 miles I...
Love it. The front is just a play thing but the back does help when I'm loaded. I can load a ton on the back and still get a good ride. For the...
Hi all, so if any of you have followed my build thread you know I put a few miles on my COE (over 36K now). Well it's that time again, I will...
Also I would add, I looked close at front engine, it takes a ton of leg room. Sit in a conversion van and subtract 3 inches of side leg room on...
My bed is 6' 6" wide and 12' long. 8 foot might work with dual wheels. If your looking to haul a car 7' is plenty for most cars or single wheel...
Well I guess I forgot to mention, I also have a new project. How would you like to see this behind you at 80 MPH! Rob [IMG] [IMG] [IMG]
Leg room is actually more then a standard pick up. 2 reasons: I'm using a 1990 Silverado seat which has a thinner back and I removed the recess in...
My '47 sitting on an '03 1500 silverado chassis, bagged on all 4, front of engine under cab. Steering hook up was easy peasy, rotate rack, buy 1 u...
Glad to see it home, I'll be out west in mine in June of this year so if you need I could haul it outta your way. Hey no charge (just the title)....
Thanks Blue
