1946 COE Don Watson

My Fathers project truck out to see the streets for the first time.

[@iisj13]

i love old trucks, and i'd love to see one of these unique-looking mid '40s chevys on the road. these just look soo strange compared to things you see these days!

[@2ansioso]

tuve un camion como este 20 años que lindo gracias por subirlo

[@mongo5888]

What a beauty! I hope to see more of this truck!

[@wileecoyote5749]

Any luck?

[@nocrap62]

Very nice old truck, love it. Thanks for the video.

[@chevyg.twenty3333]

this makes me wanna get my 44 flatbed going. sweet coe man.

[@bradmann85]

pissed me off watching that car get too close behind him. i enjoyed watching the truck drive around.

[@jimgabriel7954]

The guy driving the white and grey SUV IS an asshole. Love the truck.

[@kman-mi7su]

Yeah, I was thinking, "what a dickhead".

[@barriobajaj]

Nice Art Deco COE!

[@JDawghasaTruck]

Love taking old relics out on the road😃

[@01ps]

@4freespeech Stupid that there is a rail system designed specifically for freight and they use trucks so much. One train=100's trucks. One engineer or 100's of drivers? It seems to me like having a bunch of small boats on the ocean instead of using big container ships.

[@mack_titan]

Of the 144K hits, 100K hits are mine. So please just sell it to me...

[@Morrizzzey]

what a beauty!

[@formerice]

Make a hell of a nice car hauler. All of the old COE's should be declared National Historic Relics. Rare as hen's teeth.

[@werdCanada]

well said

[@SuperKONR]

That beast is AWESOME!! I love the smoke pouring out of the back lol!!

[@johnclayton1026]

awesome. nice mother in law seat

[@Featureman]

Great looking truck. Very good work with the camera also.

[@Trucker06660]

@01ps well the whole reason of that is because rail roads can only go as far as the tracks go. and usually the trains drop off cargo somewhere, and the trucks pick it up and ship off the cargo where they need it. without truckdrivers the usa would be royally fucked. and quite honestly its pretty hard to drive a train on the road...

[@TM1Alan]

Damn fool, no tail lights. Nice truck. Hope it survives you.

[@പബ്ലോഎസ്കോബർ-റ8ര]

Jeepers Creepers Truk 🙂

[@01ps]

@Trucker06660 Not saying trucks need to be completly replaced, but long haul stuff seems like a waste. I am sure there are lots of factors to be considered.

[@Diedelson]

Great video. Love the sound of the truck driving. What are your plans with it? Have fun building and driving. Diedelson

[@seasonedtoker]

pardon my poor knowledge, but is there a special reason for a cabin design like that? is it geometry of the powertrain or is it just cosmetic? thanks

[@mondo78]

Thought the idiot in the vehicle behind was gonna hit you. That is a bad ass old truck.

[@glferrazzo1]

I love this trucks, just like this. No tunning, no blin blin wheels.

[@yourallbrainwashed]

nice project truck! i would fix the important things, but i wouldnt do anything to the body, it looks so good just the way it is. old cars from the 70s and earlier just get better looking with age. just about anything newer than that aint worth restoring though.

[@jun9801]

Jeepers Creepers

[@357bullfrog2]

Why can't they make machinery beautifull like they were back then

[@aclipted]

love it! it has great personality....If ya can't find em. grind em!!!!

[@unitedstatesofbuild4915]

sweeeet ride!

[@the.porter.productions]

Love the action shots....Oh Yeah! 🥰 Got more on this rig? Is that powered by a 6cycl? It’s a sharp truck. My dad had a few of those back in the day when he was in the transfer business. Love the grill. 🥰 Bet it’s still 6 volts.

[@tpvalley]

If I was ignorant I would have thought like u, speed limit is irrelevant, the blazer was just going to overtake a slower vehicle; a vehicle that decided to turn left with no indication or lights of any kind and still avoided him so no harm done, it was negligence on the part of the COE; btw "methinks" is an english expression, not everyone speaks like americans.....whos ignorant? keyboard warriors, ur great.

[@hqgirl567]

That’s on old awsome truck

[@davidgannon8526]

Nice job. I bet he is as proud as you are.

[@floopx]

sexy!!! not like the nowaday´s shit

[@jayherron2852]

sweet....literally made me cry from the memory!

[@danielrickel2639]

I'd say it was the chev. driver that was incompetent he should have given way more le way to a truck that old.

[@tpvalley]

@dunn98632 methinks you're one of those drivers. think! If u approached a car slowing down with no indicator u would assume he was stopping so overtake on the left, then if the person was actually turning left in front of u, what would u do? brake hard and go round the right side like the blazer did. the driver with no indicator or even plates is at fault; an advanced or even half decent driver thinks ahead and so avoids this, really its just good manners and comes naturally to the polite

[@aisuotome1413]

chevy coe? gmc coe?

[@va4cqd]

they were shaped like that so the same strength truck can be shorter. shorter truck means the trailer can be longer and still be within legal lengths

[@holy80592]

yea but back then be didnt have as many bustling citys and town that we need to have re stocked everyday and without semis our nation stops 18 wheelers dont hog the highway we ship goods that must be delivered oh yea and that computer your typing on was brought to the store were you bought it was delivered by a truck so think about that and were did you live 40 years ago under a tree trucks have been delivering heavy loads since the 1930s even before that< without trucks the nation stops

[@Thecarguy24]

whats under the hood

[@dunn98632]

@ALLxYOUxEVERxWANT really really? Oh like who cares our country is falling apart and your complaining about spelling insteas of picking up your dam gun and fixing our government.

[@merrill1940]

I know I am dating myself, but I can easily remember when these trucks were a common sight on the roads of America.

[@tomok8283]

What a classic! Since this video was recorded 8 years ago.2017 now. How much work has been done to the old work horse?!

[@n6bhu]

Nice toy! Lucky! Most people just don't get it, and would see this otherwise grand old machine as an "old clunker" or "hunk o' junk" without realizing it as the wonderfull working relic that it is.

[@N8-T]

cool but get the rpms up a bit more before you shift.

[@say10tattoo]

i have some 46 coe parts.. let me know if you are interested in them..

[@yourallbrainwashed]

this is the coolest looking running stock coe truck on the internet

[@mack_titan]

Lucky you!!! I have been looking for one of these for years...still no luck.

[@ThejohnnyZzzz]

There a company in Australia called don Watson they specialize in long haul transport

[@lasalleman]

Nice. Wouldn't mind having one myself. You see 'em for sale once in a while on Hemmings.

[@lasalleman]

Looks like a nice project. Wish I had a big flat backyard that I could put something like that in and work on it over time.

[@JohnnyGiuffre]

might sound like a stupid question but is that gas or diesel?

[@gtn69]

se ve muy bueno. el sonido del cambio es de alta y baja?? suba mas videos

[@exercisecompassion]

[@fezants]

Man, My friend came over from the States and told me how bad the driving was over there, He was right sure enough...He said the driving test wasn't up to much either...thank God the British test is tough....Jeez...you nearly wiped out the guy behind you due to your incompetence....

[@leewatkins1610]

in the us if that guy in back would've hit him ,it would have been the fault of the guy in back.I wouldn't worry about the incompetence of aguy tooling around in a relic truck on a beautiful sunday afternoon,Id just be careful,and cut him some slack.
