COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

It would haul a lot of books!

 

I am afraid to look at the aution......I might just have too. I am not even completely done with the first one yet........This would of saved me soo much time.

 

Why did I look.....already called the wife.....all she said was oh no here we go again.......

 

Te Hee

 

I guess you're getting a new truck! She didn't say NO. You got a bed in the garage?

 

Going to call and talk to the guy today to see what details I can find out about it and see what shipping will be. Why couldn't I have found this last summer.

 

It's tempting, only about 60 miles from my place. But I really need to finish a few projects before I buy another one.

 

buggy... been watching your build on stovebolt.. yours is amazing and yours will always be cooler in my book, anyone can buy something, you made it

 

CORPO...thanks for the kind words. Not saying I did not enjoy my build but man it would of been quicker...might end up with one I built and one someone else did. Here is a complete build thread. hope I am not breaking any rules.....

buggy, you need to buy the one for auction.
Just sayin'
in case you didn't know

 

Nice build thread. Ton of work ,to say the least. How long did it take from start to finish (if there is such a thing as being finished) ?

 

BLUTO
SAW YOUR 36 STUD INTERESTING RIG.
HAD A 38 G.M.C. C.O.E. BOUGHT IT IN 85 FROM THE ORIGINAL OWNER.
NO STORE BOLT ON PARTS,MID 70s FRONT SUP, P/S,P/B 350 CHEV 400 TERBO
18" ADDED TO THE FRAME USED AS A TRUCK. SOLD IN 89.
SEEN IT 14 YEARS LATER AT A ROD RUN DON'T LOOK THE SAME.
THATS A 1936 AUSTRALIAN RIGHT HAND DRIVE CHEVROLET ROADSTER ON BACK.

 

Well that didan't work

 

I went back by to try & get some additional pics of the White I posted back a buncha pages but the folks that live there were home so I chickened out... don't want to

A ) look like a creeper & get shot
B ) tip my hand that I'm interested in it until I might have some backup loot to make an actual offer should they want tome Samolians for it.

I hope to make a couple more p***es this week.

For now, I'm dealing with the headaches of 2 insurance claims for damages & lost property; had my truck broken into yesterday evening when the wife & I took the kids fishing on Lady Bird / Town Lake (Red Bud Isle). Small consolation, they both caught their 1st ever fish; more for her (7 y.o.), larger for him (5 y.o.)...

<sigh>

So here is the history of the truck. Custom made by GMC coach division for the public library of DC as a mobile library to take books to inner city kids. The owner also has the original trailer built by gmc. This is a 1 of 1 in existance from GMC. The owner also has all the do***entation from GMC about this truck and the original ***le from GMC to DC library. the truck was sectioned in the middle and the sectioned part is a wooden frame at the roof and floor covered in sheet metal. The door and side panel are stamped steel. Eventhough this is a rare truck built by GMC, I am not going to buy it. I just don't have the room for the truck and 40' trailer. Just thought I would p*** along the info on it.

 

Started on the truck September 2011 and was on the road at a functional level 2 days before Memorial Day Weekend. Right now I am finishing up door panels, center console and bed. Would not suggest such a short time frame to anyone.......

 

buggy, that's too bad, but I understand the room to keep it issue.
I hope someone from here gets it and we all get to watch the build thread.

 

Buggy, that 40 foot trailer sure would make a nice period correct RV.. we know you have the skills.. haha... I think we all understand the space issues, with wanting more projects, let alone one on this sort of scale.

 

I live in a neighborhood on a giant 1/3 acre lot. Space becomes an issue some times. I can't even build a 1 stall work garage....as you can see from my build pictures I have a low ceiling problem in the garage I do have.

late thirties/early '40s U series Autocar.

 

my 38 chevy has a king cab stretch and is going to have a ***mins 5.9 and automatic. i`ll post more pix as it progress`s.

 

Wow, did that come from the factory that way? Looks great, can't wait to see your build thread.

 

Nice proportions on the cab. One of the best I have seen . Guessing that someone did the body mods a while ago? Nice start. Good luck with the build.

 

Yup, That looks right!
