Hello from Arizona

I recently picked up a '49 COE Wrecker and I'm in the process of tearing it down and trying to decide how to go back together with it.

I'll be lurking over there in the COE group gathering ideas and inspiration.

welcome from wi--------

 

Welcome from Texas , and what a great find . Are toy going back as a wrecker ?

 

Is this who, I think it is ? If so, i'm hoping you keep that bad boy stock. Maybe upgrade to a 261ci. inline 6, instead of that 235. Split the exhaust, & install a couple of Porter Steel Pack mufflers. Petronix electronic ignition. I know it's your truck, but it'd be a shame to hot rod that one. Just my opinion.

 

Welcome from CT!

 

Yes it is Spankster. I concur. It's too complete to hack up. Toying with building a "Cadzilla 261" if I can find a 261 block.

I love that truck!

 

Welcome from Oregon. Home of the big timber. Good luck on the COE check out the thread with the new twist on a COE. The man behind the work is fittyford on here. He's a friend located in Oregon City. He would be good to chat up about COEs and a great guy

 

Welcome fellow Arizonian! That COE would make a great roll-back car hauler!
Have fun with it.

 

Welcome. Can u post some pix of what you got?

 

Hello from Wisconsin

 

sure...here you go

 

Welcome from a fellow AZ member!

 

Thats great. Good find. Are u restoring original or upgrading suspension drivetrain etc?

 

I plan on overhauling everything mechanically and driving it. No cosmetic restore. Just functional, safe and probably slow. It's got a 1955 235 in it. If I could find a 261 before I get too far along rebuilding the 235 I would go with that. Otherwise, all stock.
