just making my inaugural post on this forum to say hello.

I've known about this site for a few years, a friend of mine who has a 1950 Chevy coupe told me about it after I picked up my 1952 Cadillac Couple. I never got around to signing up but now I'm in the market for a 48-53 Chevy COE and this site seemed to be a good source of information, although hardcore COE information seems to be slim out there on the web.

I'll probably do more lurking than posting until I actually find a truck, but nevertheless here I am, glad to be here.

Hi Morgan, welcome. You don't have to own a truck to join the site, just like them. You may even find a truck to purchase on the site. Good luck in your search.

Hi Leo,

thanks, I did already make a run through the classifieds to see if someone was selling or looking for the same thing as I am. No such luck at the moment, but I'm not really in a rush. It's just going to be one of those back burner projects but I'm going to keep my eyes peeled in case the right deal comes along.

Welcome Captain Morgan.

You want to spend BIG BUCKS?

MEDIUM BUCKS?

or small bucks?

Feel like a road trip to Colorado?

Well im looking at small buck trucks, but not total basket cases. Ive found 2 trucks about 2 hours from me in the 1700-2500 range, but i havent heard from either seller yet.

as for the small buck option above, its a GMC so not really what im looking for.

I'd rather walk and carry a Chevy hub cap than ride in a Ferd.

thank you. I guess the hunt is a big part of the whole thing too, I spend a few hours each night checking obscure old truck and parts sites, I have craigslist alerts on my phone, eBay sending me emails if one pops up, etc etc,.

I just found one tonight in the midwest and I happen to have a friend who lives 17 mins away from the address its posted at. I just need to see if I can get it stored somewhere because I wouldnt be able to drive out to get it until April at the earliest and I dont know what it would cost to ship a non-running big bolt 1200 miles... so I emailed him and Im waiting grin
