Thank you guys. Now I just wish I had more time to tinker. Spanky, it looks like you are trying to corner the market on COEs! Beautiful trucks guys!
I know where one of these 600 series GMC trucks is sitting, awesome condition, not running here in the middle of CA if anybody wants the lead. The hunt goes on here in CA. I came across 2 other 46 COEs and was excited, but distance worked to their benefit and once I arranged a meeting with their owner I found out they were previous "spray rigs" for orange trees....translation: beat to heck, welded on, no doors or windows etc. basically a reduced to neglected tractors.
I may end up with a couple of extra fenders if so I will get them into the swap area if somebody needs um.
Thought I would quickly tell you guys my bring home story....they aren't runnin. One of um showed up on a trailer, hauled by the guy I bought um from. He had it on a gooseneck trailer about waist hi...tall sucker. He said his winch brake was broken so it was going to have to "roll off". Well, I live on a 200 ft hill for starters....so I was the lucky "jockey" who got to ride it out. No seat. No brakes. Non-working clutch even if there was a seat. Soooo. I feel like I'm sitin' in a two story building, um correction, squating that is (no seat). Just like a classic roller coaster ride, I feel the slip axel trailer swaying slightly back and forth as the wheels moved forward and out from under the middle of the trailer. Then....clink...the horizon became a very good view of the ground and down I went like a shot. As I headed for our very steep driveway, my beautiful wife started tossing blocks and I began trying to turn a sharp 90 and did finally come to a stop. I wiped off the sweat, did a quick check of my drawers and everything was OK. LOL. Now their home and the fun starts. Seems like these old truck things are catching?? Things are changing...I seem to desire more... Why can't we just want one? See you guys later.
