Thanks for the kind words guys!
Scott: I'll make sure I get all COE specific stuff! But today I'm thinking maybe I'll drag it all up here since Jeff will take what I don't...
4.3in84toy: How about an extended COE Panel Dually, with a set of Suburban windows behind the doors, providing more passenger glass. 454, turbo 475, and 4.11 gears. 161 inch wheel base means its two feet longer than the donor panel, but being a COE instead of conventional cab, its probably only a few inches longer than the 1-ton panel was stock.
Jeff: First trip will be to scope what's really there, and to actually pay for it. Taht should be mid-May. Perhaps second half of May or early June you and I can run to Portland and collect it?
wingedexpress1: Putting that cab on my P30 frame is exactly what I want to do! Its the 161 inch long wheelbase with 454 and turbo 475.
spanky: From the angle of the only photo I have I can't tell for sure what year or GMC or Chevy. The wing windows say '51 or newer and the split windshield say '53 or older. What do you see that narrows it down for you?
The previous owner used it as a sheet metal donor on a chopped and extended GMC pickup with a Cadillac V-8...
And thanks guys for not giving grief over the hot rod plan on this one. I figure I'm starting with one that's far enough gone bringing it back at all is a good thing...
