If its as nice in person as the pics and desc would have you believe, I don't think 10k is a crazy number...

A little fun at Pete & Jakes open house...

 

Mike , good to hear from you . What are you carrying on the back ? Blue

 

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

 

Pretty happy to see that in my rearview, especially if it followed me all the way into my shop

 

I had a stack of drywall and pegboard on back. I was asked numerous times if I did drywall for a living...HA

 

Very nice!

 

Here's another pic. From GG Scotsdale.

 

How do I get in touch with the builder/and or owner of the Green Chevy COE??? Please let me know at Chevy39Trk@yahoo.com

 

I thought I would give my COE a bit more get up and go, did I make the right move ?

 

Bill, excellent! Next pic should be your truck doing a wheelie...LOL

 

So should we now call you Clem instead of Bill? LOL cheers mate, John

 

If you get caught doing a wheelie over here they are likely to take your truck away from you !!!

Ok I give up, who is Clem ?

 

a cross between a Cleveland and a Hemi of course, a Clemi…… looks good Bill, well done.

Finally getting back to working on my 49 after having bought a house in Glen Innes in the northern highlands, ill start putting some pictures up soonish. cheers john

 

Thank you, just a little bit of fun to fool the people who think they know engines (grin)
I did hear that you had moved to freezing cold in Winter Glen Innes, I hope the workshop is big enough

 

The workshop is great, and I'm on 3/4 of an acre so plenty of room to expand…. as for the winters, not as bad as where i grew up LOL , at least it warms up during the day.

 

Very good, one can never have enough workshop room, true, nothing is as bad as Canberra in the Winter.
I guess you have met the local rodders like the Townsend boys and been welcomed into the rodding community.

My brother knows I like COE'S. He spotted this one growing some moss up in Tacoma. Looks like it needs a garage/new owner...

Like the theme you have going there MC15C, I am going for a similar theme on mine, just diesel power. You should start a thread, what size motor is that?

 

Hey Gentry
The engine is a 261. I bought two cans of spray paint right from caterpillar. The paint is of really good quality and seems to have lacquer built in.
I am undecided as to paint the body or leave as is. Time will tell.
Thanks for your interest
Chris

 

I know this is an old post, but do you, or anyone else here know Del? I REALLY have some questions about how he (literally) seamlessly integrated that (presumably) aluminum sleeper with that steel cab. I've got a '56 Ford COE that I want to add a sleeper to, and am agonizing over using a take-off unit, or building a steel unit...which would be WAY more work!

 

You can make a turn out on you sleeper and weld sm onto your cab overlapping the turn out then rivet them together with huck rivets that match the sleeper . Use a gasket between . There is a airstream trailer mated to a COE on web that has a build page . I found it by looking for COE pict.

 

My youngest grandson's 2nd birthday today. Loves trucks and the" Car's movie". He was very excited to see this today.

 

Out freakin standing!!!!!!!!!!
