when i was a kid there were several coe trucks around, i thought guys stood up and drove them.

@Mac10Mackey HA! I can see how one would think drivers stood up driving these trucks. Thats funny. I'm glad you enjoyed this coe.

@55lincoln i watch all the auctions on directv and never see anything like these coe's roll up at auction. Its nice to see these awesome trucks being preserved in any form.

@Mac10Mackey These are so rare that you won't see these at auctions. Maybe at farm estate sales. But, it was great seeing this at a car show. What a surprise. Thanks again.

Gorgeous truck.

@sokodad Yes, this is gorgeous and a pleasure for me to actually see it. I just posted a video of my Franklin and Danbury mint models and there is a GMC Coca Cola truck that you might be interested in viewing. Thanks for enjoying this rare truck.

@herbienbrian2 Aw, this is a great restoration job and a seldom seen truck from the forties. I'm glad you enjoyed this video.

@641Workmaster I'm really glad you got to talk to the owner of this truck. I couldn't wait around to get his attention since he was constantly talking to admirers of this COE Chevy. What a history of this truck. It not only is rare but a beautiful example of a restored workhorse. Until I saw this in person, I never had seen one except for photos. Good goin'. And many thanks for the background and comments of this truck.

Saw this truck that day in St. Charles. I talked to the owner, said it was originally a power and light truck with a utility body on it. I believe he said an uncle bought it and removed the utility bed in favor of a grain bed for farm use. I took plenty of pictures and the front is my wallpaper on my phone. Beautiful truck!
