What a difference a year and three months and a lot of persistance can do. In January of 2003 a gentleman by the name of Nate contacted me and told me he had a 1948 GMC COE that looked a lot like my 1945 GMC COE. He told me that he was going to restore it "frame off". Over time we have talked engines and parts and pieces and how that finding the parts to rebuild the orignal 308/6 was difficult. He has now finished the restoring of his great looking 1948 GMC COE 520 with 308/6 and with air brakes. Here is the first picture I saw of it and now some when he is finished. What a good looking truck. Now those are some "fat fenders".
