Cool Thread!

It pays too advertise or subscribe as you get to see the magazine before it hits the news stands.

 

Uncle Joe's truck, is my kinda truck. Looks to be a '49, or '50 model GMC 350 series 2 ton COE. Pretty solid looking too. any future plans for it.

 

hey fibertech your uncle joes truck looks like a sweet ride what kind of plans do you have for it?
if you get down to staunton some time give me a call and ill show ya some of our projects.

BOLLICKS you do as an advertiser
(I generally get it a day after it's in the newsagents )

 

He's been whinging for years that he "NEVER gets his cars in ASR"
(still hasn't , but I spose a Truck will do! )

 

No need to be nasty just because I get mine before you get yours.
You advertise with them so you should see a copy before it is on the news stands.

Well he can stop now he has had a truck in there.

Oh, by the way, why have you not left for the salt ? Most have left here to go over and set up.

 

Load for Ballarat on Thursday, Mike & I will travel to the Salt on Friday (Scrutineering starts Saturday for me) Speed Week starts on Monday 18th.
I have to come home early on Thursday to finish loading & head to Ballarat on Friday (so at least home for one night ) I should be back home the following Sunday (just got home late last night from a Rod Run on the weekend
Teaching tomorrow, so not many days work this week

Well done Bill !!................. even if I haven't seen the mag yet!

 

Hi Guys
I have been a subscriber for quite a few years and as Rod says, it doesn't make any difference.
Oh yeah and for the statement, thanks Rod
Going to try and fire up the COE today.

Almost there !!!

Sounds like you guys should tell ASR about the slow mail delivery. As mine would be posted the same time as yours. I could understand a few days difference but a week !

 

Still waiting
(I hope I get it before I go)

 

OK guys, I have a question...should I start a build (actually a finish it) thread for my 41 Ford COE? I am planning on finally getting around to completing it. I can post some of the old pictures too. Or is it too late to do a thread?

If you think I should post the thread...what the heck do I call it?

 

Do a build thread! Never too late to start!

Sent from my DROID device using the TJJ mobile app

 

HELL YEAH, I wanna see that build thread!
Call it whatever you like, just make sure you mention it here so I don't miss it among all the stupid posts on this board.

Maybe call it kscarguy builds an awesome COE

 

Somewhere along the line there was a "what's that?" question. Answer was - '37 International D series. I never got around to posting pics of the one I plan on changing into a car hauler. This is a D-300 with flatbed. Second pic shows suicide passenger door. It may get a 500" Cad, and may be front wheel drive. It is almost to complete to cut up.

 

Cool old binder ^^^^^

 

Absolooootly!!
Make sure you post a link here pleeeeeese!

 

Just make sure you send me the photo's as well so I can put them on my web site.
Or there will be trouble.

rfraze,

Wow ... .in fact double WOW ... your D300 is as nice as I've seen other than the very few restored ones sprinkled around the USA. I have a much rougher 40 model D300, and am in the midst of the build to make it a resto rod / tow rig. If you decide to ever part company with the truck ..... and I know that would not be likely .... keep me in mind. You are very right .... slicing that one up would not be a wise move, but adding the body to a later chassis without massive alterations would certainly make sense.

Send me a PM and we can share some photos and ideas.

Love the truck!!!!

I think most folks here are looking for tech type ideas on how others solved build problems, and to see the cool old***** of course. Seems build threads are almost always welcomed, particularly if they are on-topic. Yours would be just on the heavy side of right on!
Get to it!

 

I have started a build thread for my 41 Ford COE...beware, it is a "dirty" thread.

this my gauge panel for my 39 gmc coe .

 

Where will you put your bright light and blinker indicators? What color will the dash be painted?

 

that goes in middle of dash this panel iam putting it on dash in front of steering column..i have not decided on interior color

 

IMO - black trim gauges on a black painted dash tend to disappear...I know this from my own COE. I now plan on adding an aluminum surround to make the gauges "pop".

 

Thanks for the kind words on the '37 International. I call it Jimini, because the shape of the cab makes me think of a cricket's head. Sitting in it takes you back to the day.

 

Optimistic price IMHO, but a very cool truck.... The 50s-ish hood used for an engine cover is great!

Optimistic price????? No, that is a "get your head out of your****" price

 

Yeah, I was trying to be nice.. At first I thought there was just an extra 0...

 

Very cool looking truck but waayyyyyyyy out of my league. I like how simple using that hood to cover the engine is to. Gives me an idea..duhhhhh
