This is different

COE Suburban? I really like it, but if it were mine I'd re-radius those front fender wells.

Re: This is different

I think it would be a neat ride with some work on the front fenders and a paint job.

It is for sale. I'd go look at it but Redding is a bit of a haul from where i'm at.

Re: This is different

you'd remember. what has been seen cannot be unseen.

Was it some kind of dairy or ice cream truck?

Re: This is different

How do you get in? looks like the doors never got changed for the COE fenders, and don't open.
If It were mine, and I really wanted to drive it, I would stretch the frame a little, put sectioned fenders on the front, longer running boards,
and put smaller tires on the front, put in a transverse mounted Cadillac Northstar front end under the hood, and make it a driver.

oh,and if I was the painter, my new years resolution would be to stop taking LSD!

Re: This is different

One of the photos in the Craigslist ADD shows that the doors do open. The shaved door handles may give the illusion that they don't open.

I'm not sure it's worth the asking price but it looks like one of those more fun than you can imagine rigs to drive.

Re: This is different

That's not the same truck but yuppers it does look a lot better than the other one. Mostly due to the wheel well radius.

Re: This is different

I've seen both of these before, if it where mine I would bring it back to the normal COE front end and lower the rear fenders. With the mis-match it just looks out of proportion. When is the last time you say the rear fenders this much higher then the fronts on a truck?
