The frame has been shortened at some point in it's life and it wasn't done very well. It has almost rusted in half. This would suggest that the cab is even rustier, but to my surprise, it isn't all that bad! I believe I have another chassis waiting for me in Texas as soon as I can go down and get it! It is a 195" wheel base and will make this COE cab look interestingly short. We will see what direction it takes. For now it will sit until I get some other work complete and my 46 2-ton painted and back on the road! http://s1006.photobucket.com/user/rrdomeck/media/1941%20COE%20Chevy/image1_zpse093fa5a.jpg.html?o=0 | | | | | Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 Bondo Artiste | | Bondo Artiste Joined: Jun 2001 Posts: 793 |

Maybe a LL8 inline 6 cylinder GM gas engine. Borrow some 3500 axles and figure out how to adapt the original wheels or find or make some that have the same look. https://farm4.staticflickr.com/3561/5716059651_6b44e602e0.jpgIt's always easy to build this in my head.... Might start on it next winter.

Good save! Just let your new truck sit in the back while you finish your 46...everything will be clear when you get to it.
The deco COE's are just so cool looking.
