hey guys i'm looking for tech drawings with mesurments so i can construct my own ch***is and body mounts for the body i have. I have a 50's aussie truck cab very similar to 50 chev coe- bodys made in the same factory. but there's no coe ch***is. I have spare normal (non coe) truck ch***is. so i'll have and build all the body and engine mounts for it. I've been told by others to just stick it onto a new truck ch***is but i'm in western australia and the lic rules make it very difficult. Over here, what your ch***is year is is what it's lic as, so as an example -if i put a 54 chev sedan onto a 90's caddy frame it'd be lic as a 90's caddy, so then all of the saftey rules for that year apply to it- basicly meaning you have to build a fluffy, bubble wrapped caddy with chev sheet metal . So as i cannot locate a coe ch***is and i don't want to do all the saftey implications of a new truck i'm planning to build off a stock 50's ch***is. anyways if you could point me towards some tech info it'd be great- the more detailed the better. cheers
just bought a 54 Chev COE and will have it home end of the month if I can get you any measurements off of it I'll be happy to do it just let me know where you need the measurements. Donn
looking for the mesurments of the cab riser- length, width, the height of the bottom of the cab to the ch***is etc. I may end up working it all out myself, as it will need to be fabbed up, but having a plan is alot easier. any mesurments you can give would be great- cheers
