- 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!
A COE! Heck yeah! Flying Sparks Garage car hauler/shop truck
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
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 .
They don't come much cooler than that. Anyone who loves an old truck is good people. Have fun with her. Cloe the COE.
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!!!!
I love COE trucks that would be Sweet with a ramp bed or as a gooseneck rig!
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! :)
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
I love the old COE trucks.
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.
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!
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.
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.
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!
You found two sweet ladies,the COE deserves a flatbed for towing cars and a turbo diesel for power.
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.
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'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...
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!!!!!!
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 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.
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.
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!!
Pure awesomeness. I want a COE to make a car hauled out of.
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.
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 love your idea of swapping the motor to drive it home. I think it would be a home run episode!
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.
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.
Great project! I love the old COE's body style
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.
Reminds me of stub nose bob!!! Heck ya definitely get it & do a big block Chevy & get the old glory to do wheelies!! Heck ya!!
So true. Be safe. Peace.
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.
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.
There's a COE here in my town that's been sitting in a private lot wasting away (fortunately on concrete) forever.
Every time I drive past it I dream about turning it into a gooseneck hauler for a track car (Factory Five, preferably) and painting the two vehicles to match. In my little pea brain a built diesel is the only option for my purpose.
I need to buy a lottery ticket or something...
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
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.
Sooooo jealous. That is going to be the coolest/cutest build. I like the ramp and or gooseneck idea. Maybe to haul Roxy around???
Aaron the country boy jumped right in
You guys are an awesome couple hope the coe goes good a little smile thanks for that
Sick truck, hope you can restore it back to something that looks like it's former glory.
Will be a lot of work, but it will also be a lot of fun... for you to do, and for us to watch !
I was waiting for a rattlesnake to come out from underneath the seat. I'm thinking a late 40s, early 50s Chevy truck. Needs a Duramax/Allison swap.
This thing is just screaming ramp truck! Roxy would have a new drag strip friend!
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
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.
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.
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!
Once you get it back.... it needs a diesel. Then find a motor home for the rear of it. It would make such a cool motor home. Then you can tow a car hauler trailer with it for events. That way you can bring the shop dog with you.
An old cannonball. Them things are gorgeous
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
one of my dream builds we will be watching
Total restoration, none of this 'patina' crap. Make her beautiful again. Guessing it's a 1954 model Chevy.
I would love to rescue that sweet COE! Keep us in the loop please!
There was a "570" on the hood of the Chevy. I'm not really into Chevys, but they used thousands in their models back then, I'm going to guess it's a model 5700, from the late '40s- early '50s. Cool project, go for it!
The Ford pickup looks to be a "unibody". Only made in the early '60s (61-63?) Truck box and cab were one piece, hence name "unibody." Kind of rare I think, that needs a restoration.
Cool old trucks!
SO. MUCH. YEEESSS!!! COE trucks are the bomb! And I would love to see you guys do a resurrection video! Just throw an sbc in her, wire it, fire it, and document your trip home. Recipe for GREAT content! 💪🏻❤️
give a hollar to detroit wrecker for a bed on that. They have some really cool stuff and he could probably build you something custom for it as well. Really badass Project though. I always see some at the Good Guys car show.
This will be a great project. Love the look of COE’s.
There are 47-55 Chevy truck groups on Facebook and there are COE owners on them as well if y'all are looking for inspiration and/ or advice. Look forward to seeing this project come together as well as more updates on the build up of Garfield.
Very cool, love the tree growing around the frame. That’s old farm life for dead vehicles. My grandpas farm had a tractor that grew into a tree..or vice versa
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....
Super excited to see you guys getting this thing out and driving for the trip back for restoration.
Car Hauler for sure. Finish the interior. Cummins diesel, leave the patina, wipe down with lindseed oil, no clear-coat.
Check out Chevs of the 40's for all the interior parts, glass, rubber door seals, windshield rubber or most anything for this truck. I suppose a 800hp LS would work. that way you could have Vintage Air. Nah... go with the diesel.
Get rakes ,shovels ,picks and a chainsaw, get to work, would make a awesome ramp truck
Get on this bad boy and make it run! This would be a great project to video.
Do it!!! Save some cool vehicles for future generations!
Awesome find! Looking forward to this one. I think the obvious answer here is a diesel powered ramp truck for Roxy.
5700 is a 1949-52 year model COE truck,I would pull her apart Media Blast the Body patch up where needed Drop the Axels as they were meant for Low speed pulling ( about 45-50 MPH MAX ) as well as them Death wheels and Thow a Twin Turbo Diesel under her for the pull and convert the Bed to a hauler/Wrcker/G neck for Sema or even custom build a small Trailer for camping or when you are on Power tour it would be something to see as for color Go with Dr pepper Red with about 6 coats of Clear so she looks wet etc and for Rims go new School GMC upgrade the Brakes etc new school meets old... and Air ride it sow you can change the Ride hight/tow weight but that is my pitch
Cummins ramp rig 👍🤠or the more budget minded 6.0 LS truck drive line, which ever would be cool
When it gets painted you should paint that tree on the frame, would be an amazing detail to it's history.
Very nice old truck good project pickup
that chevy COE is amazing! I want an old 47-53 chevy pickup as my dream project
Can't wait to see y'all start this build love these trucks.
Putting the new inline 6 Duramax in this rig would be nice. The engine would be about the same size as original. You put a NV4500 or NV5600 transmission and box the frame with a complete restauration. It's what I'd do with it.
Was hear. Nice rat rod. Love COEs...can't wait for the next one
I like it, tilt and slide 6-71. V for straight.
Central California watching
Heck Yeah, this thing is awesome! Please do your best to resurrect it to running, driving status!
Love that coe. They look good with step side boxes as well. Look forward to watching this build.
that would be awesome. looking forward to seeing that project
That is going to be a cool project! Love the look of the COE's
A Cumming diesel for car hauling or a stroked 350, 383, low end torque cam with EFI. Steep gears with an overdrive transmission would make in travel down the road for the long haul trips. Clean up the rust and put that Rino liner on the cab.
Looking forward to this rebuild!
454BBC+Turbo 400+Dually Rear axle,with 3.55 centre,Painted ROXY RED,with Vintage Air conditioning, PWR Steer,With Timber Deck,headboard=AWESOME CAR HAULER,for Shows,Drag meets,Please Rescue and Build,Finnigan&Co.have made all prior mistakes with box trucks,Ramp trucks,so should be able to advise on proven recipe,Kindest Regards,Dave McLaughlin, Queensland, Australia
Kickass COE truck.
That COE would be cool as a pickup
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..........
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
Love the patina.....keep it coming!!!
Nice old project, it looks like it's a 53 Chevy 2 ton . The badge shows 5700, a one ton is 5300. Good build 👍👍
Okay, this is already my favorite FSG ride 😂
It would be cool to roll up to the drag strip with the GTO on the back.
Cole Martin THIS! ^^^ (COE ramp truck!)
Man..... that is going to be a sweet project!
BOYEEEEE!COE!Those dudes are...twins.
Love the truck, can't wait for you to start on it!
Go for it guys! It will be awesome no matter what you do with it.
Great looking old coe .... good luck on your build
