The mind is a dangerous thing..
« on: December 09, 2015, 06:37:42 PM »
Anyway..just bought a 2002 Chevy 3500 4dr dually cab/chassis, it has a 6.0 LS engine and 2WD 4L80e.  I have always liked the COE trucks and have been thinking about making my own COE ...but an extended version.

Used a picture of a 37 Chevy 2dr sedan to start with. Shortened the hood, lowered and moved the front fenders back. The back gave me problems because of the tapered body line so I just rounded it off. A sedan with a flat back would work better.

I think this would be a fun project............ :o

That would be real cool!  I've always COE trucks.
Spending time with my grandkids gets in the way of finishing my car but I don't regret it!

I like that!

I thought I'd try to mess your mind up a little more and breath a little life into your concept ;)
