Nice find and even better that the wife likes it. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 Big Bolt Forum Moderator | | Big Bolt Forum Moderator Joined: Dec 2015 Posts: 2,063 | SWEET!

Shows how much I need to learn about these big bolts! Can you recommend a website that has some production info? BTW 69cuda someone also wrote "no trespassing" on one if the rear tires and painted the drive shafts like a barber pole

GMC just called them the "F" series, they are technically not a COE as the cab is not over the engine. GMC actually never stopped making COE's from the 1930's up into the 90's. Chevrolet didn't make a COE from 1955-2 to 1959, they brought it back in 1960 as the Tilt Cab.

Mine goes with me in mine sometimes and occasionally she will even drive it. | | |
