Those are great photos, 51chris

Thank you for posting them.

47-55st (and, earlier) Chevrolet & GMC COEs are beautiful trucks.

Wasn't it Jackie Gleason that always said....... "how sweet it is".
I can tell you have been putting in your "15 minutes a day". You motivate all of us.

Ha thats awesome. The funny part about that pic on da trailer, is that i recently sold a jeep to guy that came with the exact same trailer from Uhaul. And the wheel base look about the same as the jeep on the trailer. Nice project by the way. Keep the pics coming.

What kind of bed/body do you plan to install on it ? Actually with that short wheelbase, it could be a road tractor now?

Good work and thanks for the pictures. We once had an AD cab over we called "Rag Doll". I love them.

If you're smart enough to take it apart, you darn well better be smart enough to put it back together.

The "inner fender well" panels will also be enjoyable to deal with (if the Chevrolet COE is similar to the GMC COE)?

Picked up the grill from the powder coat humans.
Yes, the inner fender panels were a big fight. I think holes move on their own.
I have no idea how they assembled this stuff back in the day on a timely manner.
Anyway, steps, windshield, electrical, and a lot of miscellaneous and we should be on the road.
