Thread: 1954 Chevy COE Hauler Build

Tweet

Your in for a mountain of fun right there... Loved mine until I needed some coin and sold it to a buddy. Figured I could get another some day and do it a bit different if I want. I bought a Dodge 3500 diesel and to be honest in my mind its earmarked for the next COE project. LOL

But I digress... Very cool project and well worth the effort in my mind. The body on that thing looks complete and in great shape... IMHO about 5" out of that roof, a visor, and a set of big flat black stacks towering over the cab is in order? The frame rails look really straight. That leaf pack on the back could move a house and if that isn't enough throw some bag for more muscle, all kinds of possibilities right there.



Hey on a greedy personal note: I'm always getting requests to build original style seats for different rides. If you ever remove those seat frames could I get some good pics and maybe a few measurements? Id be more than happy to pay you for your efforts? Thanks Bob

Bob, thanks. I'm not sure on the chop just yet. I need to sit in it to see how much room there will be. Black stacks will be in order. We haven't decided on a color scheme for the truck yet. It might be hot rod flatz or something similar. On the seat, sure I can get some measurements and pics for you. How soon do you need them?
