COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

American Truck Historical Society

 

That's where I've seen it then, at the Canada Day Show a few years ago. Nice truck, but I'd have tried to keep the front tires inside the fenders... Nonetheless I'll keep my eyes open...

 

Here is my 40 Ford the day we picked it up.

 

Another swap meet pic.

 

Great thread, Like to see how you guys are mating the frame to cab. Love Coe's

 

If you like old trucks check out the A.T.H.S. www.aths.org Great mag. Wheels Of Time.

 

here's 1 of my 2 1948 Ford ,sorry not at my computer

Some random pics I had.

Cool old Dodge.

Chopped and almost ready to go

GM Futureliner.

'32 Twin Coach Van. This would make a fun little project.

I don't know if this next one counts as a true COE but I like it and I can't find any info on it. Any ideas?

 

Modified Ford coe

 

Hello Alle,

Very nice looking photo's from COE truck you guys sent in
Hope to see some more.

 

The one under the Futureliner is an early Divco dairy delivery truck. Here is on that was at a show with no info on it. known as a 33 twin coach. Original Divco were electric powered.

That is my daily driver COE. That pic is form tha Asphalt Invitational this past summer.

I used a 74 GMC reg cab dually chassis, running a 350 SBC and turbo 400 trans. Call me a wimp, but I put A/C in it with an old underdash style evaporator, sure feels nice in summer. I just put airbags on the front. I was tearing up the front sheetmetal too much. Still need to build a nice steel flatbed on the back, it will be about 10.5 feet. My friend Plan9/Chubby Kid donated a couple 46 Ford big truck front fenders that i will modify into rear fenders after i build the flatbed, see the mock-up pic. Also a pic of my COE at Bonneville this year:





I also have this totally stock 51 GMC, that I plan to build into a car hauler, using a Caddy 500 engine right behind the cab. This one already has a 17 ft flatbed on it, just needs the chassis parts swapped out and a lot of work. If I can give any real advice on these COE's: trying to use the engine in the original location just makes the cab real tight and any future ones I do will have the mid-engine location. To improve the cab interior space.

 

When I was a kid growing up in L.A. County, California these trucks were used by the Helms Bakery.

 

looks like a '50's Chevy Metro delivery van

 

38 International, check out the suside door only on the pasanger side.

WOW !, A COE Thread, on the Hamb. I'll chime in here, I've owned close to 30 of them, in one form, or another, in the past 20 years, but have exclusively kept them stock. You can see some of them here, http://www.classiccoe.com/spanky.htm , http://community.webshots.com/user/snubnose4754

 

Been watching this post from the start.Love to build one but can find any COE in these parts but this here gives me some ideas.Great post.

I had this one running around in my head years ago & had Chip Foose put it on paper for me.

It was to be a COE/Ranchero-type deal. My tastes have changed since though & now I lean more toward a stock bodied '38-'47 Ford.

I finished welding up the frame splice on mine this weekend. I also pulled the front bumper. Now I'm working on the bed crossmembers. I'm going to have some 8ft bedsides bent up.

 

quite nice there Nobux. I like seeing good use of fishplate.
what was/were the donor parts? obviously back clipped. front too?

 

I cut the stock frame off 14" behind the cab (Gramps got hit by a train in the 70s, so the frame was pretty tweaked after that), then I spliced on 82" of 87 Chev 1 ton frame. I swapped the GM 14 bolt rear for an Explorer 8.8.

The front is stock, with the exception of a '49 F-1 axle spindles, and hubs. I also pulled 6 leaves per side in the front, leaving 8 per side. It's strange climbing into it and actually having some suspension travel. The stock flathead and 4 speed still work good, so I left them in place. The truck actually rips pretty good with the 3.27 gears vs the 6.66s it used to have.

 

Here's my 1941 Ford COE.

 

What about Jeepers Creepers Truck? I love that thing...

it's a 1941 Chevy COE flatbed with a custom made back.
