- Almost a barn find, except it’s sitting in a field! This RAD COE has been in Aaron’s family for a long time, and his uncle wants him (which means US! Lol) to have it! We cannot wait to get some progress on this rig!

I love the coe trucks. It's screaming for a roll back bed and whatever you can stuff under the hood. But really to get that roadworthy and drive it home? Very ambitious goal!
Only Emily could be so enthusiastic about two very rough trucks!
Our Dad owned a tree Service business He bought a 54 COE Chevy flatbed dump new
Four speed Trans with two speed rear axel
Man that thing was hot to drive on a hot summers day
You are sitting on top of the engine
They don't come much cooler than that. Anyone who loves an old truck is good people. Have fun with her. Cloe the COE.
Hey guys that COE is cool , the truck is either a 48 or 49 because there are no wing windows. there are tons of after market parts for them . My 49 came from Tyler Texas , I bought it back in 1985 from a rancher . I lived in Mckinney , up near Lucas .
A COE! Heck yeah! Flying Sparks Garage car hauler/shop truck
Soooo lucky. Absolutely LOVE AD COEs. Good luck!
Yeah do what welderup does put a big big diesel that kicks ass and torque and race it down the strip!!!! That would be awesome!!!!
Oh Man. You've got a clean slate on this truck! A 5.9 Cummings with a tilt bed. Wow, can't wait to see what you come up with.
COE's are sweet.
Have a guy down under here in New Zealand with one of those COE trucks and it is done as a ramp truck. Uses it to bring cars to race events.
Everybody has a COE car hauler.
Restore with sick interior and sound system, think about stretching for crew cab, power with whatever floats your boat, put a Western Hauler bed on to pull your car hauler goose neck, 5th wheel camper, utility trailer, cattle/horse trailer, or whatever. Do not limit your options.
Keep in mind such things as air ride, shiny side step tanks, many lights, bright and big power heated west coast mirrors,and color left to your desire. Volvo 2012 C-70 car has black with a red/orange deep metal flake that is killer.
You have a follower and fan. Have loved these COEs for 50 years. Good luck and go for it. I’m from OK so it is destiny that I watch this Phoenix rise, (hmmm, good name).
P,S.-go to Fort Worth take a tour of Western Hauler, have owned several of their trucks and really like them.
I love the old COE trucks.
Do it!!! Save some cool vehicles for future generations!
I wish my wife had her enthusiasm for finding diamonds in the rough in the field. :D
There's just something that draws me to these forgotten relics. Maybe it's seeing the potential or having a better visual of the vehicle's story. Perhaps it's simply the fact that it's more easily attainable than the pristine show cars that are beyond my reach. Anyways, I actually enjoy walking through an old car yard more than checking out a car show. Best of luck with the project! :)
Cummins ramp rig 👍🤠or the more budget minded 6.0 LS truck drive line, which ever would be cool
So true. Be safe. Peace.
I love COE trucks that would be Sweet with a ramp bed or as a gooseneck rig!
I absolutely love those trucks. It's a so ugly it's awesome truck. Roll back flat bed car carrier would be perfect future life for this truck. Great project !!!
I have ALLLLLLWAYS wanted a COE.... Way back before they were cool to most, I wanted one to build a ramp truck. Now's your chance to have real COOL!!!!!!
My Dad moved our family twice in an old green one that looked so similar, but with a full box.
It wouldn't go over 45mph unless it was downhill and with the wind!
I love COE trucks. If you make it into a ramp truck, I'd add a big block Chevy or a diesel. You will need torque more the HP. Really looking forward to the project. 460 in the '61 would also be great. I have a friend with a short bed with a 460.
That is a cool piece of history, cant wait to watch this build. I've got a 53 g.m.c Coe cab and front clip I got from my dad after he passed away
Coolest car hauler out there
NICE!!!! Oh. That is gonna be fun fun fun!!!! ❤️👍🏻❤️ LOVE OLD TRUCKS!!!!! Whoohooo!!!! 😁 Can’t wait to see what ya’ll do with The Old Beast! ❤️ Yeah...am a tad bit excited for ya’ll!!! 😇🥳🤘🏻❤️🥳
Save the corrugated steel pieces too! Make great floors to start with...not permanent but a good cover till get bed fixed. 👍🏻
1948 i think....
2 stroke Detroit, 6 speed manual, Jerr-Dan aluminum roll back. Drooling of this one, Although a body swap on a Chevrolet 4500 with a Duramax / Allison..........
I love COE trucks. That particular one has a lot of resto work to be done to it. Looks like you could use a good fabricator.
I don’t know guys.... I’m all into projects and stuff.... but that truck seems like a lot of work
Great project! I love the old COE's body style
I think it will make a cool car hauler...my guess is like 46-47 or so I don't know much about those Chevy's in that time frame. My current project is a 62 unibody truck that I'm doing the crown Vic frame swap on..tell Matt to consider the same it's a good way to breath new life into a roached out truck (like mine) and you can keep the budget to whatever you want... plenty of videos on TH-cam to help him along too.
You found two sweet ladies,the COE deserves a flatbed for towing cars and a turbo diesel for power.
Coe's are dope I've wanted one since I was a kid. .....they make awesome ramp truck car haulers.....good luck with the build, and Roxy turnt out sweeeeet.....looks like a '53
I'm a diesel guy, but i say keep it GM & put in a Detroit 6v53T with an Allison!!! If you're gonna make it a it an actual tow rig, maybe do a body/chassis swap w a GM 6500 truck chassis with a Cat C7/Allison... Wish you guys all the best! Can't wait to see the results...
Awesome I love COE TRUCKS Especially the old Chevrolet's. Aaron smile is awesome I'm happy for him this is his kind of build. Definitely make a ramp truck . Finnigan will be so jealous!!
Sick truck, hope you can restore it back to something that looks like it's former glory.
Sooooo jealous. That is going to be the coolest/cutest build. I like the ramp and or gooseneck idea. Maybe to haul Roxy around???
You guys are an awesome couple hope the coe goes good a little smile thanks for that
You guys have an awesome find, not many of those roaming around anymore ! Save that tree growing out of the bed for a project later too ! You could cut down low to the ground, and let it dry enough to use it for interior door handles and dash trim, it looks like it has some burl potential too with that swollen section.
I love these old COE redis! I'm thinking ramp body / car hauler, but just pressure wash the hell out of it and leave the patina, and maybe BBC!
I've seen quite a few COE trucks with the ramp bed hauling a matching Hot Rod!! Y'all need to fix that puppy up!!
WOW GUYS,What an AWESOME Project to start 2020 With,Just Love the Chevrolet C.O.E.,likely be between 1948_1953,as in Australia, after 1953,most Chevrolet trucks were Long nose,Blue fire inline 6 cylinders, But this Project is screaming for a BBC 454CI,something different than what you have tackled thus far,go with OL'SCHOOL,Turbo400,with CUSTOM Tilt tray(CAR,Read ROXY),HAULER,with Timber deck,headboard, similar to what Counts Kustom did with one,many of your U.S.followers would have plenty of CHEVROLET bits/pieces, that could be incorporated, e.g.Guages,badges, stainless trim,Airbag it,with dually rear end,including toolboxes, service equipment, winch,compressor, gen/welder,just think about it,I nearly booking a flight to the states,to come and build it,as always kindest Regards Dave McLaughlin, Queensland Australia
Very kool!
Pure awesomeness. I want a COE to make a car hauled out of.
Roll off definitely! 👍🏼
one of my dream builds we will be watching
Perfect for a cool ass car hauler! Drop a Cummins or Detroit in it, some Alcoa rims, but leave the patina!!! That thing's a warrior in the rough!
Will be a lot of work, but it will also be a lot of fun... for you to do, and for us to watch !
My "build"
Full rust repair, new paint.
Banks Power Duramax crate motor and gearbox.
Late model axle, Suspension. Probably chassis too.
Short overhang ramp or tow bed.
Air ride seats and nice stereo, centre console cooler.
In Aus you can get the Isuzu N series (Chev LSF) in a 6cyl diesel and AWD. That would make a cool chassis, but you don't get that option up there.
I had a 1954 coe GMC 10 ton 10 wheeler fuel truck , and I’ve been kicking my self ever sense 2008 when I took the cab off and scrapEd the tanker part and was going to keep the cab , and then a few years later sold some more junk to junkers from Bakersfield, and they ran into the back of the cab and ruined it and I made them buy it for top dollar, anyway , if you have scrapers in your yard you can’t leave them alone,they will miss up things in your yard and say they did not know what happened, thanks for the vlog , and pretty lady , oh and I did see much of a truck at all , lololololo I did see nice things but they were not trucks , lolol thanks BigAl California praise Jesus Jesus Christ amen for ol trucks
I have a 46 COE that's going on a 05 3500 box truck chassis. It will have a 6.0 4L80E and a 4.10 posi rear with a rollback bed on it. This is in in my channel icon. The build is going to be on my channel. Since Aaron is a diesel mechanic a Cummins or Duramax would be cool. The one piece door glass and turn down door handles means its a 48-50 model.
Badass! Perfect For Towin My Family's 60's Survivor '55 Chevy "Rocket Muffler" Bel Air Nostalgia Drag Wagon! Miss My '79 3/4 Ton Chevy Tow Rig...
I live in a small town in Oregon. I rescued one of these from a field here locally. It was a 51 mostly complete with motor and trans and in good shape. I just didnt want it to sit there and rot away. I couldnt restore it because I was pretty much broke at the time. The guy gave it to me for free. It cost me $100 to tow it to my house. I listed it on a COE forum and sold it for $100. I just wanted it to go to a home where it would be restored. I also spread the word of another I knew about in a nearby town. Also sitting in a field. It disappeared from the field soon after. So I'd like to think I "rescued" it as well. I can't wait to see how this project goes!
I will be on the hunt for a pair of early/mid '40s Dodge COEs. Preferably one to rescue and one only worthy for parts. This way I won't feel guilty of some customization. just for creature comforts, and a little modernization mods. One would be a one ton chassis with 4 wheel disk, 4x4, and a air suspension. I'm looking to make a goose neck / fifth wheel tow rig. I definitely would not want to change something all original.
Thought I'd let ya know since you have an eye open. ;)
100$ are you crazy i understand the want to see it fixed but bro you shot yourself in the foot
@@rustedratchetgarage6788 I look at it this way. Some are all about the little paper rectangles .... money. This honorable individual rescued a rare gem and wanted nothing more than to see it go to a good home. I recently bought a 170yr old farm house. I beat out some one with a cash purchase price who wanted to renovate all. The seller wanted the home to stay original as possible. They were not about money. My hats off to these rare breed of folk.
That would be an awesome truck to save. There is a channel on here that might be able to help with parts if you need them. His channel is Classic Truck Rescue. Good luck and can't wait to see the ole girl running again.
Looking forward to this rebuild!
if the door changes over the years was the same as the pickup trucks, this most be a 47-50. 1 piece door glass and turn down handles. 51 also had turn down handles but had a vent window. 52 went to push button handles
Yah what I was gonna say.
Working a 53 3100 now.
@@turboflush im working on a 50 3100
Another cool video featuring the ever gorgeous Emily. The truck is probably a 49 or 50 judging from what I see. You will have to decode the serial number on the door hinge plate. Research the GM Heritage Center and/or the Stovebolt Page. Hopefully it has a title. That's more than a long weekend project then drive home. Will be very cool when done. Good luck.
My 53 Coe has push button door handles.
YES, my dream truck! You got yourself a new subscriber. Its an early model since it got the split windshield, This model came in 1948 onwards.
Can't wait!
I would love to rescue that sweet COE! Keep us in the loop please!
Man..... that is going to be a sweet project!
Go for it guys! It will be awesome no matter what you do with it.
An old cannonball. Them things are gorgeous
Kickass COE truck.
Get on this bad boy and make it run! This would be a great project to video.
That COE would be cool as a pickup
Cool!! Sheetmetal as original as possible, big torque engine. I hope you took at least part of the tree that "protected" it for so long!
its gunna need alot of work but definitely a keeper. theres so many ideas you could do with it
I love your idea of swapping the motor to drive it home. I think it would be a home run episode!
Excited to watch this build.
that would be awesome. looking forward to seeing that project
I like it, tilt and slide 6-71. V for straight.
Central California watching
that chevy COE is amazing! I want an old 47-53 chevy pickup as my dream project
Aaron the country boy jumped right in
Lotsa options here,this is going to be fun to watch. Seems a shame to work hard to get it running there and then pull it apart again.
I helped a cfriend do a Ford COE many years ago. Friend insisted in gas power, he put a BBC in it with a T-400. Engine behind the cab no matter what you power it, will make it a heck of a lot cooler and quieter in the cab, and if you design the ramp wedge right much easier to work on as well.
I would scrounge the boneyard for a common rail out of a 3rd gen Dodge. IF you could find an 07 Dodge Ram 3500 dually in the boneyard or otherwise as a donor vehicle you would be set pretty well. Prefer would be 07, 325 HP 600 lb tq. bone stock.
Adapt to an Allison. Use the Dodge dually rear end, with Disc Brakes from the factory. You can put the radiator up front where it was designed to go, or in front of the engine behind the cab., then you could convert the space under the hood to a baggage compartment. AC condenser up front for sure.
Set it up on air so that when it is time to load the GTO you can drop the wedge to the ground.
Same color as Roxy.
Flying Sparks logo on doors...
Can see it in my mind now.
AWSOME, 4-71 or 6v53 5spd and 2spd rear
What it needs is LOVE! Keep posting the progress...
Star by recondition and then you'll get more deep into it...its a treasure...
Hell guys it's a old Chevy put a battery in it some gas and drive home. Well maybe some wiper blades too. Love to see a complete build on it
A piece of history. Thanks for saving it. You all are awesome
Can't wait for you guys to start building it
there never were many of these coe trucks, and even fewer still survive. you've got yourself a true classic there. i've got a '54 5 window, 5600 chevy grain truck i got from behind a barn i'm working on a little at a time. these old chevys are as simple, and basic as they come. sadly, i'm finding brake parts hard to find, and am thinking about putting newer front and rear axles on it to have brakes and modern rims, 'cause nobody wants to change split rims any more either.
This thing is just screaming ramp truck! Roxy would have a new drag strip friend!
Was hear. Nice rat rod. Love COEs...can't wait for the next one
Absolutely awesome look at the one Danny from Count Kustoms has in Las Vegas Nevada he's got the same cab over design absolutely incredible truck you guys found a piece of gold can't wait for the project to start
Oh yeah! So excited to see what y'all do with this!
Love it. Great truck for a build and Texas Run!
Something about trucks! 😍😍😍🥰🥰
Super excited to see you guys getting this thing out and driving for the trip back for restoration.
Heck Yeah, this thing is awesome! Please do your best to resurrect it to running, driving status!
Love the patina.....keep it coming!!!
Definitely, it worth restoration.
Get rakes ,shovels ,picks and a chainsaw, get to work, would make a awesome ramp truck
THIS. IS. AWESOME. I love the Chevrolet Advance Design truck styling. I look forward to watching this new project transform into something amazing.
Very nice old truck good project pickup
I love this truck it has a really great look, there is a lot of work to make it live again but I think it is really worth it, I envy you such freedom with your vehicle, we in France it is not possible with our legislation to be able to modify the cars as you do, we love you.
I know it's been done but a ramp truck. Dove tail the back and bag the rear suspension so it sits down and no ramps needed to load. Or convert to front wheel drive and get the bed even lower.
This is going to get a million views
Great looking old coe .... good luck on your build
It's a great truck to save. I'm sure glad that you are going to do it. Can't wait to see what you are going to do with it.
Very Cool Em!
Richard Holdener YOU are very cool, Richard!!!!!
Those things are highly collectable. You should put the cab on a cummins frame make it your tow rig when going tk the drags , no trailer equals 65mph
I CAN'T WAIT FOR THIS ONE!!!!!!!!
Looks like mine. I've got a 53 COE I channeled onto an 87 long bed frame and suspension.
