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. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Dec 2002 Posts: 2,549 | | | | | | Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 90 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Feb 2005 Posts: 90 | Thanks Spanky.

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

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. | | | | | Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 Extreme Gabster | | Extreme Gabster Joined: Jan 2005 Posts: 1,682 | 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.

34 & 35 trucks are the greatest
