Hello from Dallas Texas!

[Shakacon]

We have a one of a kind 1937 Studebaker COE Bus that I am converting.
I have a ton of history with the bus plus someone before me has dropped in a 400 small block.

I've completed most of the mechanical and have raised the roof 10 inches so we can walk and not sustain a head injury.
I like seeing how others innovate on designs and fabrication so I look forward to reading your posts and answer any technical questions if I can.

OMG!!! We GOTTA have pix of this jewel! I love COE's...and I love Classics...but a '37 Stude? What a find!

[Shakacon]

Hey Tango!

When I get the photo files together and figure out the uploading, if google the Stude 1937 COE it will pop up, it's been for sale off and on for 5 years. It's white with dark green fenders.
I actually got to speak with a fella who bought in California back in the 70's and a woman who worked at the plant in CA.

Your Bus is awesome! I wish I had your shop!

[Rameses]

So cool!

Is this one yours?



And if so, is that your Willys Wagon in the background?

[Shakacon]

Yes That's it!

The Willys is not mine it's the previous Bus owner.

If only it could talk, I bet it could tell some stories.

OMG That has to be one of the coolest rides ever. Welcome to the forum. I look forward to seeing, A LOT of pictures, and would love to see it in person. It would sure be worth the drive up, from Houston.
When I was a little younger, I had a dry cleaning business, and for my delivery truck drove a '47 Ford panel truck. I love the old rides.

hello from Dallas as well!! Love the bus! We are actually looking to do a roof raise on our bus but need some help with the welding... do you have any local recommendations?

OMG I love it.

Good find there. You better be posting pictures. Do not make us all show up to look at it.
