Just added another COE to the menagerie... - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

BEER HAULER · 11-05-2012, 06:24 PM

1948, off of a local farm. Couldn't pass it up for $800.

It starts even. Obviously brakes, etc. need to be woken up from their slumber.

Not sure what I'll do with this one, maybe just run it like it looks now, well... cleaned up a little. Original/rat-rod style.

That thing is a $3500 truck out here! Nice score

BEER HAULER · 11-05-2012, 06:28 PM

Thank you. It's a $3,500 truck around here too, this fella just didn't know it, lol... I'm sure we all see what some really rough ones go for on eBay, so yes, I'm glad to have snuck up on this one.

Kim57 · 11-05-2012, 07:05 PM

Nice find.

BEER HAULER · 11-05-2012, 08:19 PM

Oh, lots of Kool-Aid, and lots of beer!

I have a guy with a GMC COE trying to get me to buy his... oy... I think I'll stop at the two for now...

Love having the Chevy name tag on it.
(and we own three GMC trucks)

Congrats!

OT- we camp at the Wentzville Wally World when traveling into STL.

**mr48chev** · 11-05-2012, 09:50 PM

That is one solid looking truck. One heck of a bed on it too. Looks to be pro built and well built.

crossfire84 · 11-06-2012, 04:48 AM

waaaaay cool

BEER HAULER · 11-06-2012, 10:10 AM

Thanks all!

Highsider, in about a year I hope to have my microbrewery open here in Wentzville, so plan to stop in for a cold one.

The 52 COE should be dressed out as an old beer truck by then.

Nice! Good move, I think.

Atomsplitter · 11-12-2012, 06:19 PM

Love the COE's, infact I got the wife liking them too!
How low can you make them....short may be a better word to use!

BEER HAULER · 01-23-2013, 11:45 AM

Atom...

My two have different wheelbase lengths.
The shorter ('48) I will likely leave alone, as I will keep it on the factory chassis.

The other ('52) I'm using a 90's era RV chassis so I will shorten it some.
Better ride, brakes, steering, yadda yadda.

56Jimmy · 01-23-2013, 02:25 PM

Very cool. I work in Wentzville, would love to see the collection and maybe drink a few homebrews

Absolutely!

I'm always ready, willing, and able to drink good beer and talk about old trucks.

Coach529 · 01-23-2013, 04:22 PM

Awesome score.

duallyjams · 01-24-2013, 10:57 PM

Starting a fleet of beer trucks.

Sillyoldman · 01-24-2013, 11:05 PM

Sweet!

Atomsplitter · 01-24-2013, 11:12 PM

What I was asking is how low can you make them and still drive it into the garage. I only have a 7' tall door, will it fit under?

**Warrens69GMC** · 01-25-2013, 12:44 PM

Very nice!!

48ChevBagged · 01-25-2013, 05:04 PM

I wish I could find something like that around here. Your lucky.

**Dan in Pasadena** · 01-25-2013, 05:31 PM

Wow, she's a steal for $800.

I'd just give her a Comet or CLR wash down with a ScotchBrite pad and spray her with rattle can satin clear. Then just do all the safety stuff: Brakes, fresh unchecked tires, gas tank, then amybe some wood for the flatbed so she could be used. I'd be proud to have the old girl.
