I recently purchased this 1949 Chevrolet COE 5400 5-window with a Holmes 515E Wrecker. I have been trying to purchase this
truck for about 5 years and I finally got it. It is a bone stock, well used truck that worked every road in-between Silver City and Quemado, NM
from 1956, when they purchased it, until the mid 90's. It then sat beside their Garage until a few weeks ago when I bought it.
I'm now in the process of tearing it down. The cab mounts are shot of course and the cab corners will need replaced. Like all projects, the more I get into it the more problems I will find. The cab will probably be removed to get it all done right. I've got the correct front bumper and I'm not sure what I'll do with the rear. The wrecker is going to need a gear or two and some bed rail repair. Not going to get carried away with making it 'purdy' -form follows function for this one.
