    I love the types of jobs that you guys take on. No one really preserves service vehicles like this. There aren't many left anymore. My one piece of advice would be to plan your filming ahead of time. Make sure the radio isn't playing, and have some one on hand to interact with the audience, so that it will be a little easier and more entertaining for people that aren't experts at this type of thing, and are trying to learn. It will make it much easier for you to grow your audience.

    Look on the pad right next to the dist. The cubic inches is stamped on the block. Snub nose 54 GMC. A guy I knew in 1955 hauled new 55 chevrolets from St Louis to Oakland Calif. Pulled a vaccum brake car hauler 4 vehicle capacity. They had two of those snub nose trucks. A chevy with a 261 six and 4 speed 2 speed. and a GMC 270 six and 5 speed 2 speed. He stated as hard as he could go on route 66 it took ten days with the chevy. The GMC it only took 8. the GMC was that much better.

    Seriously have a thing for these trucks though I would like to get one and make it a ramp truck but knowing me I'd probably do something crazy like put a demon or a hellephant in it
    But no matter what I did other than the big ramp put on the back you probably wouldn't notice many changes on the outside other than body filled and I'm a welder so I don't mean filled with putty everything would be metal primed and painted but on the inside you would have more of a modern feel I would add a creature Comfort or two

    This old Coe rig with that tilt job on the back would be sweet to put an Aluminum flat tilt bed or even a Rollback car carrier on the back maybe a wheel lift. Make it a ramp truck. Very desirable. I know these arent the guys to do that. They seem to just flip the old stuff
