We have '46 2 ton COE that my Dad bought used in 1950. It was our farm truck until Missouri started to require vehicle inspections in the late 60s. It was retired at that time. Later in the 80s or 90s, my uncle found a one owner '42 COE in Illinois and bought it. My dad got it from him and kept it licensed and on the road for a number of years.
Pop always ran 7.50s on the front for easier steering and 8.25s on the rear where the load was being carried.
I have a '41 1-1/2 ton conventional (former Fire Truck) and a couple more COEs, both '46 or early '47, I think. Thats the extent of the "Art Deco" Chevys in the flock. Some are for sale if anyone is interested.
