Gary N. Posted June 27, 2008 #1 Posted June 27, 2008 Well after 13 years and a lot of blood sweat and tears I decided to put my '46 Chevy COE bike/car hauler up for sale and today it left for Edmonton Alberta. I'm going to miss that old truck but at this point I couldn't justify owning it anymore. I think it would have been easier to sell one of my kids though.
mini-muffin Posted June 27, 2008 #2 Posted June 27, 2008 Good luck selling it Gary. I too poor to afford that. Never mind the gas it would take. Margaret
MAINEAC Posted June 27, 2008 #3 Posted June 27, 2008 WOW!! nice rig... What's that a 40" sleeper? Is it crawl thru or sit-in? If you don't mind me askin... What ya get for it? I'm guessin you probably upgraded the drivetrain... SB Chevy?
Gary N. Posted June 27, 2008 Author #4 Posted June 27, 2008 Good luck selling it Gary. I too poor to afford that. Never mind the gas it would take. Margaret It's already sold and gone. It's diesel powered so even more expensive for fuel but it does get pretty good mileage.
Redneck Posted June 27, 2008 #5 Posted June 27, 2008 Glad you got it sold some one is a very happy camper to get it.
eagleeye Posted June 27, 2008 #6 Posted June 27, 2008 Boy, that is one beautiful rig Gary. I can understand your feelings about seeing it go Steve
Gary N. Posted June 27, 2008 Author #7 Posted June 27, 2008 (edited) WOW!! nice rig... What's that a 40" sleeper? Is it crawl thru or sit-in? It's 40" and a crawl thou. If you don't mind me askin...

1BigDog Posted June 27, 2008 #8 Posted June 27, 2008 Man Gary..you scared me there for a sec. I thought you sold the bike and the motorhome!! Whew. That is sure a nice truck though.
Gary N. Posted June 28, 2008 Author #9 Posted June 28, 2008 Man Gary..you scared me there for a sec. I thought you sold the bike and the motorhome!! Whew. That is sure a nice truck though. Not to worry Jeff. I won't be selling the bike any time soon but I may have to down size the space shuttle. I have to see how it works out over the next year or so. Maybe I'll sell the ranch and just live in the shuttle. I'd have to get rid of a lot more stuff before I can do that though.
Guest BluesLover Posted June 28, 2008 #10 Posted June 28, 2008 Congrats on the sale Gary! I take it you're not delivering the truck to Alberta and riding the RSV back home? Cheers,
Gary N. Posted June 28, 2008 Author #11 Posted June 28, 2008 Congrats on the sale Gary! I take it you're not delivering the truck to Alberta and riding the RSV back home? Cheers, No, he decided to fly here and drive home. Just as well as I don't know if I'm physically up to a big trip like that on the bike yet. My brain says I am but my body may have different ideas.
Guest ReinyRooster Posted June 28, 2008 #12 Posted June 28, 2008 Gary....thanks for the offer but..no thanks...got two kids of my own.......:cool10::rotf:
Eugene Posted June 28, 2008 #13 Posted June 28, 2008 The market is bigger for the truck Gary - keep the kids!!
WilCruise Posted June 28, 2008 #14 Posted June 28, 2008 Not to worry Jeff. I won't be selling the bike any time soon but I may have to down size the space shuttle. I have to see how it works out over the next year or so. Maybe I'll sell the ranch and just live in the shuttle. I'd have to get rid of a lot more stuff before I can do that though. That's good news. I had the same initial reaction when I read the title of the post. Looking forward to seeing you again in Kitchner. We'll be in our Class "C". not looking forward to the fuel bill but whatever it is I'm sure it'll be worth it.
IH Truck Guy Posted June 28, 2008 #15 Posted June 28, 2008 Gary....thanks for the offer but..no thanks...got two kids of my own.......:cool10::rotf: Now that's funny.Gary,I'm glad you were able to sell the truck,but I'm sad it wasn't to me..But you know what we talked about at Don's,if I would have bought it,Cupcake would divorce me and then I would have to move into the space shuttle with you.
