Ah the memories! Back in the middle 60's we had the more/less mate to this truck. But this body was carried over to early 1947 (first series). Ours was registered as such. My pick up was an early 1946 with unfiled "A" pillars and roof seams. When production was resumed after the war grinding wheels were in short supply and some of the leaded seams were left as is after welding/leading. Mine were very crude. Our was registered as such. This was a 216 with a 4speed and electric 2 speed rear end with a early HOLMES wrecker body. Transmission power take off and a slightly shorter wheelbase. Ours was purchased at an auction originally from a Chevy dealer. It was very useful but by then slow on the highways. Sold to a Chevy collector about 1967, wonder where it is now? I also knew of a similar GMC used as a pole truck in a scrap yard.
When I was younger I was obsessed with this truck but there's barely content of it on RUclips. Really happy to see this!!
Morning Pete, you & Clay seem to get along well.. that's great! Being such a young man he seems to have a passion for this vintage stuff
🇦🇺👍love the way the young mechanic has come along way And he seems to really enjoy working on this truck
I've worked with a few guys in my lifetime like this guy. they can get about ten times as much stuff done, and done right, than most others.
That’s a shame about the glass but that cab is in great shape ,nice find 👍👍👍
I love you people who have the great tools and use them. It’s nice to see people who take care of their projects!
Well. This looks like something that the older gentleman would know about. His knowledge makes him a walking encyclopedia 🚦🛺✅
20 years ago this culd have been a show on TV. Good stuff
Hope to see part 2 the same truck Jeeper kreeper
That truck is awesome especially with the Chrome. Great job getting it running. Keep up the good work and the awesome content 👍✌️🇺🇲
The truck in Jeepers Creepers is based on a real car. But the movie uses a modified version of a 1941 Chevy COE (Cab Over Engine) that came with a flatbed frame. It has a cow catcher that the Creeper uses to move bodies to his “House of Pain,” whether they are dead or still alive.
Love. How. U. Make the old. Live. Again Keep it up. Ever ones. Answer is. Ls. It.
ALL Chevy COE trucks of this period were called 2 Ton models by Chevrolet. I am not familiar with the auxiliary gearbox but it is surely an under or over drive unit, probably under drive as you suggested. The shift lever for the stock 4 speed, should be mounded to the metal hump. There was linkage back to a special top on the trans. I have a '46 COE that my Dad bought used in 1950, when I was 2 years old. we have 4 more of the '41/'46 cab overs.
CLAY YOUR GREAT!!! THAT SHOP WOULD BE LOST WITH OUT YOU ,, YOU KNOW YOUR STUFF!!! A MAN AND HIS TRUCKS.....
That is one sweet truck.
That auxiliary box is what we used to call a brownie it’s a hi/lo like in a Mack duplex
Ok the truck is life
Great job as always, Clay!! 😊
ha! that movie was funny as hell :)
