- The COE is something that I get a lot questions about! So we figured it should be included in the beginning of my channel. Join me for a walk around of my 1953 GMC Cab over that has Big Block Chevy. It's got a tilt cab, leather interior, and LOTS of custom made goodies all over it!
Thank you all for following along!

The old school all out guys with good taste in vehicles are slowly disappearing. Im glad your sharing your knowledge and ideas with us, nice truck!
Dennis, if you ever are hiring? Let me know thx
You are absolutely right. And it's a shame it really is
@@terrymoore9185he’s hiring . Did you get a call?
WOW! Your quality of workmanship and attention to detail make it a real pleasure for me to watch your videos. Thank You
The COE is going to be so wicked looking once you're able to finish it
I really appreciate the tour of the COE. The engineering and fabrication is top notch.
This is what I have been waiting on. Coffee ready
Dennis, I used to think that i engineered stuff two steps ahead , but you are in another realm! Can't wait to see the final outcome! Keep up the great work!
We’re ecstatic out here Dennis that you and Deb have decided to do this channel. You both have been key fixtures in the race scene for a long time and watching you handing the keys over to your kids has been an awesome chronicle of American life. The information on this channel will keep the up and coming hot rodders come back for more! This truck along with ‘55 210 and the ‘55 savoy are great examples of the classic American hot rods. Hot rodding is an uniquely American phenomenon and you guys are great examples of it! Keep up the great content and we’ll keep tuning in!!
The thought behind this project is amazing.Build quality top notch. A real work of art,and it’s not finished. When it is my brain will explode. 🇬🇧
I don’t think anybody understands the work that you have put into this unless you are a car guy when I met you at sick fest in Orlando last year. I shook your head and said you’re a genius your work is incredible. I am just blown away in the detail, and what you can do with the welder is amazing, thank you for showing this
Thanks Dennis! I'm a young 57 years old and enjoying what you do. I grew up at Orlando Speedworld from the 80s and moved on. Drag bikes and drag cars are my passion. Some people don't get it but Thanks.
Fellow Floridian here. Grew up just south of Orlando Speedworld. Great racetrack.
Hey I’m Florida
I raced go karts there
I was fascinated by COE’s as a child and now am a fan. I’m pleased to see so many builders building these rig’s now. I wasn’t aware that you were building one now and I look forward to seeing the completed build. Looking great now.
Thank you for this detail walk around. Your ideas and craftsmanship is amazing… 😊
Dual filler caps for the win
Let's not forget to give Debbie props for being the ultimate racecar mom and wife
Dennis I appreciate your explanation of putting your COE together. No nonsense straight talk
Dennis " I love that truck!! " love everything you've done for it. Building something that complex and beautiful, just using your imagination and hands, rather than using CAD is a special ability.
Very cool. You're the only other person I've heard say "coolest thing since sliced bread" besides myself. Big block power, plenty of power without the stinkin smoke.
Yeah, diesels are stinking polluters for sure... in Australia they believe working in confined spaces like garages etc, and breathing in the exhaust fumes, can lead to cancer!!!
Awesome beast of a heavy duty truck built by an extraordinarilyy gifted innovater/fabricator/engineer/hot rodder.
As usual..a "Dennis Original" with great taste and style. Well thought out...expect nothing less of You.
Yes! Back to the CoE, love what you are doing with it.
I love this channel. It's like when your distant family comes to town and asks you about your project build. Dennis loves talking about this stuff, and I love being here.
Holy cow Dennis the quality of your builds are mind blowing you definitely can see you have an engineering mind and think of everything! From the 55 using the frame as puke tanks!! To the coe modifications wow I see where the girls get their talents from and that's not to leave out your beautiful wife she is also a badass in the shop laying fiberglass and not afraid to get her hands dirty!! Love the channel brother keep it up!!
Thats a freaking WORK OF ART!! I cant wait to see what you do next! Your a legend!!!
Dennis, your knowledge about how most things work and the knowledge you have on how to build or make things better is unmatched by none. The quality at which you build is remarkable because you like complicated things made simple. I wish i had a chance to do what you do and have half the knowledge you have. Thank you for your amazing ideas and builds.
Dennis, this truck made my day! sure was glad to see it good that you fixed it up and make use of it that's the reason they made it! also it will take more than the new ones will they made this truck the way they should be strong! a friend of mine built a '56 Ford Coe with a rollback bed on it and built a '56 Ford pickup and hauled it all over the place he took it to a car show and it won cover of the magazine! he got ill and it sat in the garage after the man passed the family sold it and the other guy just tore it all up! dennis you are a "magical mechanic" the truck looks great! sounds good too! be nice when you get it all done! thank you dennis! sure do enjoy your videos! appreciate it!!
Enjoyed a couple of beers while listening to you, thanks for letting me visit. Say hello to Deb, Meg and Alex.
I'm seeing this truck for the first time. AWESOME! Will watch episodes as you complete. What a master piece! Thank you for sharing.
Dennis, i have never said anything like this before. I believe that you may be the most talented car guy I have ever seen. Your builds are always amazing but this one is the best yet. Just amazing sir. your talent, creativity and every adjective I can think of is the best that I have ever seen. Just amazing!
Visionaries can see things finished that common folks can't. You're a visionary Dennis...along with being an exceptional fabricator. Love your COE.
60 minutes Dennis. The younger guys don't have the time for the details, the older guys do! I've been watching you guys for quite a while. I'm DAN TAYLOR, I wish we were related . I've been looking at a primo condition 1948 MACK COE for a while. Super rare truck sitting in a trucking yard near me . Keep up the great work, I'm getting inspired. 😊😊
Those lug nuts aren't my taste, but they scream attitude and fit you perfect.
Engine sounds great, the truck as a whole is a show truck, all the one off details, wow.
Loving this channel, keep it real.
Dennis, wow …..just two words to explain this “ Bitchin’ Ride”
Love this video. So much thought put into this build. Seems like it will be a truck to last the rest of your lifetime, and could be passed to one of your kids. Great job.
I dont know enough english words to describe the awsomenes of this thi err truck, so I just call it above awsome.
What a work of art. You da man Dennis. Thanks for sharing. Great new channel to follow.
What a skilled craftsman ! Beautiful build. I love how you think. The wheels are right on. Looking forward to more. Many thanks.
When I watch how well you do all this it makes me feel bad about how I did my Mustang. You do such great work and put so much thought into functionality. It's just awesome.
Duuuuuude!! These trucks are so cool. 😎 this will be neat to see come together. 👍
EXCELLENT breakdown of the build! You answered all the little questions a TRUE car guy would want to know that others may not have been curious about. Looking forward to seeing it road worthy.
Thats $1,000,000 truck! Just beautiful! 👍
shirt tail engineering is a very humble description considering the actual quality of the build, and his record of achievement in the industry. I also enjoyed he went with magna flow , a top brand not getting enough love lately.
I am so glad you found some time to work on your truck! I can't wait to see the final product, I am sure it will be cool! Thanks for sharing.
Well now I just can’t wait to see it finished. It does look fantastic!
very nice, nice to see someone ""build"" a car/truck not just put a bunch of parts together. VERY WELL BUILT
wow, what a cool machine ! DT ROCKS! I love the show..
Dennis your a Genius and a true Gangster that Truck of yours is truly amazing Godbless you
Dennis the attention to detail is incredible. Those little things like the custom made clamps to hold the power steering lines and little pieces like that are what I think is the best part of the build. Making everything look like it belongs there. Love it, keep up the great work my friend!!
The craftsmanship on your COE is beyond exceptional! You do great work!
I can't wait to see it completed.
That's a badass truck.... well thought out!!
That’s all I wanted to see … The Cab Moving Up 🔥🔥🔥
Dennis just oozes cool, he is a cool guy and it's oozing into his cool truck.
Dennis,
i love the truck. i especially love that you built YOUR truck. fantastic workmanship, just amazing!
I've been waiting for this Coe to come to the publics eye for over a year now. Saw a glimpse of it last year. Thank you Mr Dennis and Megan for making this video. God bless Taylor racing. Mr Dennis Taylor is by far the best under ground builder and Tuner in America hands down. God bless yalls and keep racing
I want to do something like yours not like everyone with a s10 frame. Very nice work you can see the thought and workmanship. Be very interested to see it finished
Dennis!! that is coming out AMAZING!! i really dig the fact that you make as much of the build from scratch... but not the things you might need on a road trip... love this!! keep 'em coming!!
Go Dennis Go....don't forget the Keep Busy, Go Fast, and Stay Bitchin'
Ohh yessir A 🛻 8 foot bed that never has to be made 🛏️ hahaha great looking old coe it's a work of art truly 💯🏁🏆🇺🇲🦅
Now that's a truck. Ur fabrication skills are on point... great video
Getting a coe has been my ultimate dream since the first time I laid eyes on one
The COE deserves the love take your time and make it right. The patina look is perfect on that old iron. Your attention for detail is spot on keep up the good work and thank you for sharing the video.
The truck looks awesome and that chassis is AMAZING!
I thought I was the getter done guy, super man. Well, I know when it's best to just move out of the way. Love all your content. Thru it all, just remember to always take better care of yourself. Thanks for all that you share. T.M.S. P.S. Thanks Deb for all that you do.
In my eyes and style of cars you are the best builder ever
I also love the lug nuts Dennis. I'm 81' and have love cars/trucks all my life. I watch all your family video's. Jim Rio Vista, CA
That big block sounds killer!!! It’s going to be amazing!
Oh and Dennis, I’m 73 and your wheels are bitchin! I love them!!!
I was wondering what happened to this truck! I saw it a long time ago on Alex's channel and I fell in love with it because of all the "outside of the box" engineering that is in it! It's totally show worthy, but it's totally practical. I can't wait to see it finished! An idea for the steering coupler... tractors use a spring loaded, push button collar coupler to attach the drive shaft for whatever implement it's towing, onto the pto shaft out the back of the tractor. No tools needed. The implements drive shaft slides and extends to reach the tractor and the coupler locks onto the pto shaft with the button. Just an idea. Beautiful work! Have fun!
Man Love the stuff you make awesome you explain all the details many ideas thanks!
Amazing over and above craftsmanship as we've come to expect from Dennis T !!
I appreciate the details you give, shows your passion. I am sincerely hoping you continue to bring us along and that you resist the temptation to morph into just informercials like many TH-camrs do. There are enough people showing off the hundreds of thousand of dollars of equipment companies have given them hoping viewers would go buy the products.
I totally love it Dennis. She has great chop with the old school flow masters.
That is way sweet!!! And yes I'm a little jealous. About this time last year right before I had to get a bypass. I bought a 1963 C10 with a good running 327 , 5 speed trans and a 2 speed rearend. The friend I bought it from said I had to take a 1963 GMC 5000 he said the moter is stuck but pretty sure just rings stuck . It has a 409 in it , it come from the factory with a big block V6. Somewhere along the line someone put a 409 in it. Heck even has headers, they had to be cut to fit. I put some marvel mystery oil and transmission fluid in the cylinders. I have it broken lose I either hope to find a roller t bucket, are have to make a rat rod. All the T buckets I seen so far are out if my price range. I live just outside of hot springs Arkansas now. But I grew up just outside of Joiner Arkansas on the family farm I know all the MSO crew , they are a few years younger than me. My best friend is Jeff James who has the big blocker killer camaro. Best of luck to you , your daughter and wife and the rest of the family. May Jesus bless yall and keep yall safe driving and racing. Reed Ryals
Man I've been waiting to see it and it doesn't disappoint at all. It's a little strange not seeing Alex running around!!! Can't wait to see it finished!!!
Dennis, the COE is gonna rule!!!
It doesn’t matter what anyone else thinks about the lug nuts or anything else you’re building it your way and it is awesome! Thanks for the video.
Just got home from work and relaxing and watching your video , thank you Dennis
Love your truck, Dennis. It's perfect. I built a 50 Ford F2 with a flathead V8 back in the late 70's, and I had a pair of 7 1/2 gallon oak whiskey kegs from the Jack Daniel's distillery in Lynchburg I mounted them under the bed behind the cab, and made a tool box out of the driver's side, and a cooler out of the passenger side. I'm looking forward to seeing it on the road!
That truck is amazing Dennis, I love it!!! You are a true artist of everything mechanical.
Thats going to be one sweet COE! Really like the shifter!
Once again Dennis you are building an AMAZING work of ART!!!
I love your idea of a short video lol... Love the content! Thanks so much for starting this channel... What you do is so uncommon these days and it's great you're sharing it FINALLY!
the level of creativity is amazing
Awesome Dennis. Why is it our projects always come after everyone elses? I retired last year and slowly I am workinf thru my backlog. I only wish I had the 30 something body to go with the 70 something knowledge now. All you need now is some "leave me alone" time! That rig is awesome!
It's amazing how much you accomplish
I am 60 years old and I dig the lug nut covers it's kind of unique for this day and age the truckers used to put some really wild shit with lights and the lug nuts and chrome covers on the centers of the dish and everything you might want to check in to seeing on your wheels if you can retrofit a baby moon center section in the room above the hubs and over the ends of the drive axle housings I like this truck
Awesome build. COE trucks look amazing
What a fantastic project,your attention to detail is awesome,I agree,old,maybe a little beat looking on the outside,but state of the art ass kicking underneath.
Definitely a "one of a kind "!!
Anxious to see the bed,that sounds very trick.
Thanks for the video.
Hi Dennis.I love your enthusiasm and pride that you have for your projects and your family.
Awesome engineering Dennis
New sub, thanks for the content. Since my childhood I've loved COE trucks, my grandad had several on his ranches. I'm very impressed with your workmanship and your style in general, doing things the way you want it not governed by what other people are doing. It's a very cool truck thanks for sharing. I really like the patina.
I would almost make the bed as wide as the frame and make some old school bubble fenders for the rear tires, like a stepside bed. This thing is awesome!
I can't wait until it's done, I get more impressed with your knowledge and skill with every video. Great job
Your attention to detail is second to none. An inspiration to all of us thanks for posting this!
That is going to be one bad ass truck Dennis . I can't waite to see it completed and I am so glade to see it has a Big Block Chevy engine and not a Diesel engine . I don't have anything against a Diesel engine thy have there place but not in a hotrod in my opinion. You are very talented my friend .
Exceptional build. Like you said " You see a lot of COE builds that are painted. Also a lot that are cab fwd of engine. Which I hate. You're doing it right. Genius level skill, engineering and execution. And a misread of your door signs has given me a name for the project I will build.
You’re very talented brother, you knocked it outta the park again!
Were glad the 55 delayed you. Without that, i wouldn't have known that you and Alex existed. I know I'm not alone.
That said, im glad youre able to devote time to this project. I keep seeing it and always wondering if anything was ever going to happen to it.
Yay! ....its finally going to be somebody! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Well done! Vision and tenacity= Wow!!
Been waiting to see it finished 😊
Has to be the most badass genius Mr Taylor a true God to engineering and hot rod building
I like that truck, I’m glad you’re getting back on it. The center console would be a great refrigerated cooler for drinks. That truck would make a cool hauler for a retro camper to stay at the drag and drive races, I love the idea of the art deco car hauler too
Yes !! More cab over 👍
