A co-worker told me of a old coe parked in a yard in the south part of town, so I checked it out. I have no idea what make it is. At first I thought it was a late 30's GMC but it isn't. Now I'm looking at it from about a 100 feet. I haven't asked the guy about having a closer look but I'm going to. It appears to be approximately 1938 to 1940. It also has long mirror arms that look like they are cast because of their shape, not stamped or tubular. Is there any info out there for these old COE's? Any help is appreciated.

If it's a Chevy, get the serial number off the mfg plate and run that number thru the ole VIN CRUNCHER and that'll tell ya lots of stuff.. like year, model, wheelbase, even what month it was made and in what plant.


an idea is only stupid if you think about it rationally.

That's a good idea Fumblin46. Here's another question. Are there any websites that pertain to old semi trailers? I can't seem to find any. It's amazing how many are around here. We'er talking late forties, fifties, and maybe early sixties.

You could try various keyword searches by make and model on OldTruckStuff.com

That search engine searches over 9,000 old truck specific web pages, and may yeild some clues or links to BIG BIG truck specific web resources.

You might search the web for American Truck Historical Society a good sight for semi-trailer information. Lots of over the road truckers.


34 & 35 trucks are the greatest
