48-50 chevy coe

Will be building this one up as a light truck tray top. Cab is from RMR resin will be using most of the parts from AMT's 1950 Chevrolet 3100 pick up, will be using resin wheels on it also.

Whats that big blob on the bonnett ? .

Its sticky tape that was use to hold it in place,forgot to remove it before I took photo of it

So the bonnett is already seperate from the body when you got it ? Thats cool .

Yes it is scummy, the fun now it make it all fit together with pick up parts. there is two short running boards and two block steps also.

hi Allan; I'm new here (second post), and I also have one of these ('48-'50 COE) from RMR; I also have the frame, but it's very weak ! your idea looks and sounds interesting, and I have some questions. where did you get the stock rims and tires? I want to use them on my COE. mine will also have a heavier rear axle, because I'm building a car-hauler. would you happen to know where I can get these pieces in resin ? I don't want to have to buy another kit to kit-bash mine, so any advice you have to offer will be welcomed. I also have a little surprise in store for mine; when I'm able to start it; I'll post it in this section of the forum ! would you like to have a spec sheet on your COE ? I have one. if you'd like to have it; i'll post it for you !  

Who1 the resin wheels came from The Parts Box here in Australia, WWW.thepartsbox.com. The chassis from the pick up is to light for the COE so look at making one up for it, Oh you can also find the wheels in the MONOGRAM Ford 350 "Duallie" pickup kit (85-7806) they are chrome in the kit. Don't know were you can get heavy diff in resin, look at the little Dodge L700 or the Ford short hauler for one.Yes please on the spec sheet infor.

Who1, have sent you two pms.

I'm not allowed to send any links for a week according the instructions. I tried copying and pasting, but that didn't work either  when I'm allowed to send you the link; I will ! the COE will be the one in the center of the page !

Can you send infor by post, have pm details.

Allan,did you get the info in the post yet?

Not yet mate.will let you know when it gets here.

darn, I was hoping you'd received it by now! when you get it, would you mind sending me the link on it? I forgot to save it! I've also found measurements for a '48-50 school bus that I think would work as a frame. I'm going to try to build my frame from these bus measurements.

Hi Allan and Who1, if interested I have a right hand drive dash panel to suit this cab. Not sure Allan but you may have purchased one from already. PM if you would like one. $5 plus post $4

That's interesting hqmon to know may get three of this one, one for a pickup truck and just bought a resin 50 Chevy panel body one needs the pickup to build it.

hgmon, you just gave me an idea! I'm in the U.S., and as you know, our vehicles are left-hand drive! however with the other plans that I have for my COE, a right-hand drive; my COE would be even more unique !!!!!

will you accept a postal money order? if so, I want the dash !!!!...I don't know the exchange rate (if there is one) so let me know what you think please !

This is the infor that I got from Who1, For building chassis for Chevy coe.

Allan, i forgot to mention; i contacted The Partsbox, but they didn't have the rims and tires that i want  , so i suppose i'll have to look for a late '40s-early '50s Semi kit to get what i need. Ron told me that he casted the rims and tires, so before i bought my COE; i asked if he'd send them as well. he said "there's going to be changes around the shop", so i didn't get them! i'm not sure what he meant by that remark, but oh well! i'm going to have to scratch-build the frame, the one that came with the body looks too thin, and it's very flimsy! i broke it trying to clean the flash from it! it will have an Alison in it; Jim Lytle is my inspiration for this build, and if i can make it look right; i'll dedicate it to him!

Michelle at the Partsbox said they had only the photo-etched finishing pieces! when i get my COE to where i want it to be; i'll order these parts!

Who1, have found a set of rims and tyres that fit under the coe, a mate of mine wrecked one of these die-cast tow trucks, I end up with the parts. comes with daully for the rear. Its a Jada toy of a 1953 chevy wrecker in 1/24 scale.

I have a Welly wrecker that looks identical! hhmmm...I may have to do some thinkin! I forgot; thank you for sending the link back to me! I also have a few more specs, but they are using a short WB and long WB school buses. they have curb weights etc.; would you like them also?
