It has been several years since I have been on here, bought and sold a couple of trucks and Harley's.. But now I have finally bought my dream ride, been trying to buy it for several years with no luck finding the owner. Turns out he is from Hawaii and has been there for a while, He returned a few months back and found my note on his truck asking if it was for sale, well after one call and several emails I will be picking it up Monday.
It is a 47 Chevy COE, I knew from looking at it from a distance it was on a later gm chassis with a v8 but that is all I could tell. I met him last Sunday afternoon and boy was I surprised... Not only is it a late model gm chassis, it has a create 350, turbo 350, all the power options and vintage air..It has not been moved or cranked for 9 years. My son and I put a hot battery in and after a check of all the fluids dropped some gas in the carb and she fired off..the tank is rusty so i did not run it but a minute trickling in the carb.. he drove it from Colorado in 03 with his 58 MGA on the back and parked it...top is chopped 3in's cab is stretched 10in's . I will be going through brakes, belts, hoses and everything in the next few weeks but this is gonna be one fun ride...now to figure out how to post pictures...
