- Today we pressure wash the COE to see how bad the rust really is. I also need to free up a frozen brake so I can unload the truck. Thanks for watching!

That's one of my Dream Trucks is a COE ROLLBACK TRUCK 😂😂😂
Morning Everyone! I am excited to see what You do with this wonderful Truck. When your Sister in-laws Truck is finished of course.
Fantastic idea o the driveshaft brake! Shes going to be a challenge for sure.
Cheers
Terry
The bottom numbers are the phone number from back in the day. Nice truck 🎉. Definitely a modern chassis with single rear wheels.
I think you’re like me…
When you’re recording videos, you keep your voice down so the neighbours don’t think you’re crazy, talking to yourself.
Good luck with the truck. Looks challenging!
So true! I don’t know why they already think I’m crazy lol. Still trying to get used to talking to myself.
Yes i think you are on the right track with a frame swap, catch you on the next one
Thanks!
There is a 1958 Mackemer calendar for sale on EBay. 🙂
Cheapest thing you can Buy is a C model Motorhome Van Front end n just put your Cab on it
I can’t find one reasonably priced. Plus it needs to be i believe 97 and newer, the older Chevy’s are unibody.
@@wallysworkin823 my friend used a Diesel Isuzu box truck n take cab off n box off n I'd use box for my parts storage 😆 n make it a Ramp truck or Rollback
If it were me I would use a 3500 or a little bigger dually chevy truck frame the 1 ton dually van frame might to. Its going to look great either way you do it
That’s the plan, I prefer a van because it’s nice and flat front to back.
clean the dash up, put some phosphoric acid on it to fight the rust and do normal body work, a rust primer or paint and it will be fine.
I remember in the 90s you could buy those for $200 BUT NOT NOW huh
Yeah they seem to be all over the place price wise.
It looks like a candidate for Kyle Carter, but perhaps it's not rusty enough. I sympathise with you over the diesel cost, but be thankful that you don't live here in the U.K. where it costs more than £1.50 per litre. From the way you describe your plans, it seems as though the cab is about the only part of the vehicle you are intending to keep; it's a pity that you had to haul back so many heavy parts that you don't need. Best wishes.
Most likely the cab is all I will use, we will see. I will try to retain most of it’s “patina” at this point, there is a cool backstory to this truck I will share in the future. Thanks for watching.
What about a 4 Door Panel Van?
That is a possibility.
What did you figure out on the 57 doors
I’m working on it, stay tuned.
Is the frame really that far gone?
The back rails are really rusted and thin.
If you have a similar vehicle close by, and a willing owner, you could make a shape pattern for the cab : ruclips.net/video/44tSonYPz-w/видео.html
That is what I was thinking about. Just need to find one around me, can’t remember the last time I saw one of these trucks in Phoenix.
How much you pay for that
Free 99, my wife’s family member gave it to me but it cost me $1100 in fuel.
Oh that's Awesome huh n that's funny that she was laughing at it n it came from her family 😆
Show your wife what your going to build n show her how much they are worth when finished n builts like $50,000 & Up over $100,000 for like a Rollback style
She only sees money going out 😂
Holy smoke, Wally was working! This should be cool build. Gotta love to hate the power of rust. 🫵🏼💯🆒
It’s worth it.
