I have located a 39 COE and would like to know what modern chassis would be the best and what problems that you had mounting the cab. I will add pix once I get it home. I also would like some help on the ID as it was on a tag, mounted in the cab on the firewall and the number that I got was 6VHO2 3350. Looks like it was a Van Nuys truck and is a 131" WB but what does the 02 and the 3350 mean?

Ha Brad;
Very cool info on the COE. My 39 did not have a remote control shifter. Mine had a top loader trans. Do you have any info/photos on the remote shifter? My 39 COE was a 107" wheel base Tow Truck.

I am no expert on the COE's but all that I have looked at from mid 30's to the 1st Series 55 had a remote type. Spanky or one of the COE experts will be along I am sure with the correct answer.

Your serial number breaks down as follows;

6VHO2 3350

6 = Oakland plant
VH = 1039 COE w/ 131" wb
02 = February
3350 = unit number starting with 1001

I am pretty sure that it is a remote shifter, not sure as the place where the truck was at was very close and not easy to get to. Once I get it out in the open where I can be sure, I will let you know and also try and figure out how to add pix.

I really like the pix, that you sent, I will have a lot of question about the frame/engine/real axel and the front sheet metal attachment once I get started. The way the truck sits and looks is a WOW!!

Thanks Brad, I really enjoyed looking at them, the first ones were great, I think the guy that I bought the truck from has one of them on a DVD, that he will give me.

Thanks, I was not sure of the 02 as what I had read was not really clear on these digits and I was looking for more digits in the 3350 number. Is the data plate in the correct location on the inside of the firewall, almost in the middle above the floor pan? It is attached by two screws they are the internal and external type.
