Hi everyone! I have been here on the HAMB for a little while lurking around and now I think it's time to intruduce myself. My name is Christoffer Einarsson (son of Magnus Einarsson on Fast N' Loud if you wonder) I'm 25 years old. Got a wife and a 1 year old son, # 2 is on it's way. My biggest hobby is vintage cars, american is number 1 but I also like old Volvos. My project at the moment is my -50 Chevrolet 5700 COE that will become a car hauler. I'm keeping the original chassis because in Sweden it's no tax or inspection on cars and trucks year 1950 or older. I have pics of my other cars on my profile if someone want to see them. Thanks for a great site/forum! /Christoffer in south Sweden
Welcome to the site Christoffer, I've seen your dad on Fast n loud. If you plan to keep the chassis original, does that mean you are going to keep it powered with a inline 6 cylinder. If so, a Chevrolet 261ci., or GMC 270, or 302ci. would be your best alternative. I've owned close to thirty Chevy, & GMC COE's through the years, & working on a 1952 GMC 3 1/2 ton COE Holmes Wrecker at the present. what ype of hauler body, are you thinking about ?
Thanks spankster! Yes I will be running a 6 cylinder, the original 235 has nice even compression values and runs good. I will just change the carb (got a NOS one on EBay) and some gaskets on this engine. If something happens I may consider a engine swap. I want to keep it pretty simple, like a flatbed but with a angled end of the bed to hook the ramps on. I have a tight budget, otherwise I might be putting a tilt bed on it. I might get the bed something like this; a metal frame and a wood floor to look like an original bed. Posted using the Full Custom H.A.M.B. App!
