Just bought a 52 COE. Looking forward to nice folks here helping me with my stupid questions.

Does your truck need a l work? We need to hear more about it.

I'll get pictures figured out.
It is in fantastic shape, considering.
Very solid body and drivetrain. New Budd tubeless wheels and brand new Michelin tires. New brakes.
I will still do a resto - bodywork and paint, interior, and likely a TBI/700R4 swap. The cosmetics to make it cool and to fit my brewery image.
But... I know very little about the big chassis trucks so I'll have lots of learning to do along the way. And help finding parts, etc. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 Moderator | | Moderator Joined: Mar 2007 Posts: 4,215 | I'm no expert either, no experience on the heavy stuff at all, but there are some experts on this site. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 63 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 63 | Well, maybe just makes some friends then. | | | | | Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 90 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Dec 2011 Posts: 90 | Welcome!
