I went and looked at a 1950 GMC 600 COE and you guessed it...I now own this truck.It's pretty solid with a super straight grille.It's powered with a 318 and has a single speed rearend. It has a long wheelbase and the frame has never been cut.The strangest thing about this truck and something I'm a little disappointed about,is that the back of the cab is blank.It does not have any rear windows.I've looked at pictures of other Fat Cab COE's and they all have a pair of rear windows.However, I could not see any windows in Spanky's Fat Cab
but the photos are a little tough to tell for sure. The previous owner said that it was factory.Does anyone know why it would be? Oh yeah,nearly forgot,the truck does sport the corner windows.I'll post pics as soon as I can.

On these particular trucks, the rear windows were an option. Standard cab, had no rear windows. Corner glass only. Congratulations, on your find. I think I know the truck. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 29 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Apr 2004 Posts: 29 | Spanky,
Thanks for the info! Yes,the previous owner did make a reference to you.I do have a few more questions.First, when did this cabover design begin? Is 1948 correct? Do you know what the production levels were for this year/model? Lastly,would you know what the stance is of the front axle? I will not be picking up the truck until spring and I wonder if this rig will fit on my trailer.Once again ,thanks!

Front axle width is, 73 1/4"in., rear axle width is, 93 1/4"in. Front fender, to fender width is, 91"in. I've got a NOS Chrome Grille, if you need one. | | |
