Well, the Coe got to see some daylight.  I pulled it out side to change hoists and to do some cleaning before eating turkey. My young bodyman/ friend came over Wednesday and rolled the bottoms of the rear stake pockets. :D
I am still closing in the ends of the running boards. :!:  I didn't know if this beast would fit the drive on hoist, but, It does.  :-o  Enjoy the pictures.

That is looking very good Don. Looks almost like you could add a ramp on the top. Nice job.

Helps to get thigs outside where you can get the larger perspective.

A good friend will come and bail you out of jail...but, a true friend will be sitting next to you saying. "Wow...that was fun!"

Looks good. Too many projects out front but you've got me thinking!

Hello Don.  What did you use for a chassis for the COE?  I have a '52 GMC 2 ton that has a half decent (?) cab.  I have been debating for several months on what to do.  I was thinking on a 1 ton dually donor and make a ramp truck car hauler, but too much work, too much money, too much time!  Then was thinking of a 1/2 or 3/4 ton van chassis.  Then advertised it for sale!  Still have it, still thinking!  haahaaa. :?

What frame you use really depends on what you want to do with the truck when done.  Wheelbase lenght dictates how long the bed is. A regular cab bed will give you the shortest bed lenght and that's about 10 ft. The Chev van doesn't have a frame under it. It's a unibody
Some days it\'s not worth chewing through the restraints.

 I used a 96 Chevy 1500 4 door frame. I didn't want a heavy duty rig.

Nice proportions and profile. Any ideas what you are going to use for a bed/engine cover?
