I currently own a 1951 (all original) GMC Suburban and the 1948 Chevy COE. When I first saw the truck and the condition it was in... I had to buy it! I've owned it since October 2012. My goal is to restore it as close to original as possible.

Those are two nice looking vehicles you have. They already look "close to original as possible"!!
Lots of great folks and lots of info here when you need help. Remember, there is a forum just for Panels and Suburbans and also the Big Bolts.
See ya around the garage. Thanks for the pictures.

Both appear to be nice "dry" trucks.Makes for a great foundation to start with. Interesting the Coe already had a Brownie in place. That is a pretty desible piece in itself. Hopefully it is an under/direct/overdrive . Will make it a little easier on the 235.Which is a great engine. It can always be switched to a 261 without any mods for a little more torque. But if it isn't broke why fix it. Great job.
