The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Big Bolts Look at these blinkers

I do know it's history. It first lived in Ysleta Texas and the people I got it from bought it in 1956 !

Mr Shellhorn has passed but I have been dealing with his wife and son for the past 5 years trying to buy this truck. Here is my introduction to the site...

"I recently purchased a 1949 Chevrolet COE 5 window with a Holmes 515E Wrecker. I have been trying to purchase this
truck for about 5 years and 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 two weeks ago when I bought it."

I've always wanted a COE. Didn't think I would ever have a chance to own one. It really turns my crank TOO !

They promised me this winter they would find pictures of it working back in the day
