I'm not sure if this is ok to post here(I'm new) but somebody needs to buy this thing!
I don't know how to post the link to the site but it is on eBay. Looks like the truck is in Hope Idaho.

 

Well now that's cool.

 

Six days to go and already 15 bids from 8 bidders. And no doubt the serious money sitting on the side waiting to snipe it. Gotta get the popcorn ready, then sit back to watch this one. Stu

Thanks for the link Stu. Probably will go for crazy money I suppose. Looks like a lot of work, but man it could be so cool.

 

Very interesting truck and only a few miles from my home!

 

Look at the pic and there is a green COE in background

 

He says in his add somewhere that the other cab over is for sale as well. If you are close you should go check it out and see what he has it listed for locally.

 

Wow, simply wow!

Neat and rare, indeed. I don't think I ever saw a crew cab with a suicide rear door. Who did the crew cab conversion? Siebert? I thought it interesting to have much of the conversion made of wood studding covered in metal...

 

What a monster! Very cool though...

The other Coe looks like an early Dodge.

 

emailed seller and asked to see it.

 

Very cool indeed. Now I am getting ideas of building body panels out of wood and covering them with sheet metal. What a crazy idea. New owner better be a good bodyman and woodworker. Note to buyer................parts may be hard to find!

 

You will have to take some pictures and let us know what he really wants for it! Hope is about 2 hours from me, but pretty close to you, if you buy it I want to see it. Heck I would even help you move it just to know it gets saved and fixed up!

 

With two '49's already I am not really looking to add to the fleet but would like to see it and whatever else he may have. Will definitely report back.

 

Wow! Now that's cool.
That's not only ok to post here, it's required!
I hope the new owner will join us if he isn't here already. That will be a chore to fix up though.

The other COE looks nice too. I'm guessing 1940? Gotta find pictures of that as post them as well.

 

Neat old truck, pretty rusty but deserving of restoration.
I can just imagine seeing that lumbering along an old dirt trail along an old service line or down a gully along the rugged coast line.

Someone somewhere has or had pictures of this truck being used back in the day. Would sure be neat to see or hear of the storys behind these old trucks.
