Whenever I see a COE, which stands for Cab Over Engine, I wish I had one. I have always thought a COE ramp truck would be cool, or even just a slammed COE pickup. They are just cool looking since they are stubby up front and everything. So when Bello started up on this 1950 GMC COE project I was pretty stoked to see it. He’s starting with a late model Silverado Dually that he’s bagging and using as the base for this fun project.
Check out the second episode in the build as they get the donor truck ready for some love after getting the front suspension going. Now it’s time for the rear suspension to get started and that means a giant frame notch. Of course this thing is a dually, so it needs to be HD for sure and they get it on for real. Watch.
