Comment by Moderator: Please join us in giving a massive and sincere "Stovebolt" welcome to the newest member of our Project Journal forum, Dave “Homer52”!
We are absolutely thrilled to have Dave join our Project Journal forum and can't wait to follow along with his incredible project. Dave is embarking on the ambitious undertaking of transplanting a 1941 GMC COE onto a 2001 Chevy 3500 cutaway van chassis. And to make things even more interesting and unique, he's planning to mount the engine behind the cab! This is a build that promises to be a true testament to ingenuity and skill, and we're so excited to witness it unfold.
It's abundantly clear that Dave’s passion for GM trucks runs deep. He's already got a fantastic collection in his stable, including a peaceful 1941 GMC, a completed 1946/1947 Chevy street rod sitting on an S10 frame, a 1945 GMC panel truck, and a 1941 Chevy COE with an as-yet-undetermined destiny. With this kind of history, we know he's bringing a wealth of experience and dedication to his new project.
While Dave initially started his journal in the HiPo forum, his build is so exceptionally unique, and we're so impressed by the skills he'll undoubtedly employ to overcome the challenges this transformation will present, that we knew he absolutely had to be featured here in the Project Journal forum.
Welcome aboard, Dave “Homer52”! We're all incredibly excited to see your 1941 GMC COE project come to life.
Here’s the start of Dave’s journal:
Just sitting on blocks getting an idea how things will fit. Dave.
