The Stovebolt Site Forums Welcome! Welcome Centre 1948 Chevy 2 ton COE short wrecker (SO IL)

Hey everyone, I'm new to the site and I look forward to helping out where I can.

I am currently employed as a mechanic at the local GM Dealer. I have my own small shop where I work on my toys.

I have owned a 1949 Chevy 3100 that I sold a few years ago. I turned the wrenches on it and did all the fabrication work too.

I now just purchased a 1948 Chevy 2 ton COE short wheelbase winch truck. The truck was owned and used by my Great Uncle. He used to have a garage and that truck was used a lot in my local area. I have heard stories of him pulling a tractor out of a creek, pulling a school bus that slid into the ditch in the middle of winter.

My plan is to get it running and driving again. I hope to be able leave it all stock, but if I find it is too far gone, I am prepared to swap the body and bed to a different frame.
