I must be nuts (my wife says I am for sure, she said she thought I was getting better),
but I had a weak moment this week and bought a 1939 Ford COE Cab to build a car hauler.
It looks pretty straight but has some rust issues and its actually a 1941 with a 1939 grille.
My '39 COE project took another couple of small steps forward the last few weeks.
Last week on Craig's List I found a 1978 Chevy C-3500 350/4 speed 1 ton truck with the
needed 160" wheelbase that even runs and drives for just $550 delivered to my door..
My next step will be pulling the Chevy truck cab and drivetrain so I can see how the COE cab will fit the truck frame.
This afternoon my friend Bob gave me a 1976 Cadillac 500 with a Turbo 400
that was running when he pulled it from a car going to the crusher
