COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

Nice looking Truck you have. What chassis it is sitting on? Are you sure it is A 47? The vent windows came is 51.
Have fun.

Here is my 47 Chevy COE

 

I'll keep looking back thanks

 

dig the new color Koos. lookin good!
do you have new step pads for it yet?
JML - also from the yahoo cabover group...

 

Doors are easy to swap. I notice this one has a cab mounted fuel tank, which would not be correct for a '47 either. But on a 60 year old truck that belongs to a hot rodder who knows what might be changed...

I love this truck.

 

There is a bunch of COEs on e bay at the moment, more than usual.

 

And, would it be on the right side, not the left?

Couple more pictures of mine

 

Someone else posted this but more pictures of FrankenFord!. I see this out at TMS alot, great rig.

 

My father-in-law's project he just purchased over the weekend.
He'll be using it to haul his old Oliver around.

 

Took me a minuite, but I figured it out. The first axle is U-shaped to clear the driveshaft.

 

Awesome pictures and thread!! I had to join after seeing these pics!

I have a buddy that built a 41 Dodge COE pulling truck. He chopped the top and put a sheet metal skin on the back to resemble a tow truck.

He also has a couple of videos on youtube, user name pullingCOE. I don't know if I can post a link, but you can search youtube with his user name and get to a couple of vids. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F2eN28a54g

Great pics, thanks for the ideas!

My '40 :

 

Hey WQ59B looks like the wrong grill/hood on your 40. Looks like the truck is in pretty decent shape too. What you gonna do with it?

 

Yea- I bought it with no hood and intentionally chose a '41-47 style because I prefer them muchly over the oval style.
Just intend to refresh the mechanicals and drive it exactly as it looks. Seats are redone, fuel system redone, front brakes/drums/bearings done, radiator done. Needs exhaust, rear brakes/bearings checked. I should think about replacing the 40-yr old tires too, I guess.

 

That is cool WQ59B. It will be a lot of fun driving it around I am sure.

Here's my 41 Ford COE project. Almost ready to drive. Mike in KC

 

Neat stuff.

 

anyone ever thought of putting one of these on a S10 frame?

 

no
lol

 

I'm not going to claim it was a good idea, but I have seen one on an S-10. So yes at least one guy has thought about it.

 

What did it look like? If a reagular truck can fit on a S10 frame why wouldn't a COE.

 

The biggest problem with any COE frame swap is the steering shaft angle. The COE drive sits very far forward compared to a regular pickup, so the steering wheel ends up at the back of the cab. That's why motor home and van chassis are the best choice for fitting under a COE. I also don't think they are really heavy enough for the way most COE's are built, especially if they are used for hauling or towing. Mine has a 3/4 ton GMC van front end and a Ford Dually rear!
I'm amazed at all the fascination with S-10 under all kinds of rods, just don't get it.

 

I think it is due to the fact that there are easily found and the size is why people like them. I have another vehicle that I am looking at using a Toyota chassis due to its smaller size. Also with the S10 there are parts galore for modifying the chassis.

I am thinking of building my COE for daily use rather than a hauler,that is where the S10 thought came from.
