Hailing from western Washington, I just bought a 1952 GMC COE bookmobile. It runs and drives, but doesn't stop (the brakes are gone). So it's still sitting about 50 miles away from me, and I'm trying to deduce some basic information about it. I have the title with me, and the VIN number says A248141085 -- but every VIN decoder I've seen rejects that as unknown. The title also says that the scale weight is 11,080 lbs. The rig is 25' long, and has a 13'8" wheel base. Much of the interior, including the bookshelves and check-out counter, is intact. I will post pictures as soon as I can figure it out. My first questions are: what engine is in it? And what it this -- a 2-ton or larger? Looking to exchange information with the rest of the BigBolts here!
