You are looking at very cool old Tow truck 1948 Chevy COE cab over engine one and half ton truck with operational tow hook This truck runs and drives good and stops as it should the winch is operational the clutch is on the Driver's side running board and the shift handles are inside the bed for in/out, fast slow there is only cable on the center drum and it works well with the sling. This being an old survivor truck don't expect it to be perfect have had this for few years and driven it to shows but only during the day think had the lights on and one headlight was on don't know about the taillights But it would not take much to wire up complete system The body is very solid the cab corners are the best have seen on survivor with no rust through the fenders are solid too with their share of scratches and other blemishes but easily workable The hood ornament/badge is broken as are some of the window glass the important 'corner windows are good though and the rest is flat glass and can be cut . the tires hold air and are round but need to be replaced soon but they have been holding air for the last three years and get it around every time need to move it . The step on the driver's side entry are in great shape but the top step on the passenger side has been repaired with plate and is also easily repairable the seat is in good shape just very faded have extra gauges as don't remember which work the truck has been converted to 12 volt and charges like it should have parked it for six months outside and it starts right up and fires on all cylinders fine and does not smoke at all ( say easily repairable but, am just mechanic , but , I can duplicate body panels with body lines just made the rear quarter body corner on 30 Model ford Briggs body even do professional stainless trim restoration What am getting at is have had "so called" professional body men at my place and they tell me their skillset says the tiny dings in say, door skin call for new door skin then tell them that they are not much of body man ,if they can't repair dent, and proceeded to "metal finish" said door metal finish is no bondo) but hey am just mechanic )) there are few dings in the grille and KILLER push bar bumper the bed has the old square dot diamond plate on the corners and is metal covered wood on the large flat portions of the front and sides. The truck is powered by what believe is 270 Gimmy inline six It has the "updraft carburetor that works well the truck actually rides pretty smooth considering the huge stacks of leaf springs You could jump in this truck and drive it anywhere as long as you are not in hurry and remember to pump the brakes when you need to stop Just great old truck to drive and show as is or super solid base to restore If you are looking for perfect show truck with paint job that has hundreds upon hundreds of hours into the body and paint, look elsewhere and pay $60,000 plus but if you want drivable survivor with 68 years into the paint and body for this perfect patina thank you for your time and thanx for looking in Joe's Garage please feel free to look at my 100% positive feedback and about me Know who you are dealing with also feel free to look at my yard and projects and even video or two on my Facebook pages Joe Rooney Billings, Montana or Joe's Garage Montana My yard, and some friend's cars, just got 20 page spread in the new issue of Renegade magazine And This COE tow truck is in there too so it is already celebrity
