COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

Got to be the wildest COE ever........

 

Here's a T that's just a little different than the hauler above. The photos were taken at the NSRA Western Nationals in Del Mar, CA in the mid 70's. Damn if I can remember the owners name, and I can't read the sign on the side with my one good eye.
100% hand crafted from front to rear.

ADDED THANKSGIVING DAY: ​

The 4th photo just popped up on the new Denver Greybeard Car Show thread. Not the same truck from 30+ years ago, just another wild early styled COE possibly inspired by the Dave Williams truck.

 

If my memory serves me right, that truck was also on the ISCA circuit. I remember seeing it in Seattle in the mid 70's.

Isn't that Dave Williams' (of Lowbuck Tools fame) hand-built C-Cab?

Check out the fuel prices !!!! >>>>.

 

yes it is.

 

The best part about this page? Engine Pro 5X's attached picture/thumbnail names.

 

I'm so glad there are young guys with good memories on this board, Thanks.

 

I'm just glad you called me Young!

 

This picture was at the pediatrician's office.

A 4x4 Military COE that is for sale locally. I always thought they would look goofy so high off the ground but it actually worked out well. I think the sleeper on back helps it not look too tall.

 

These could be better pictures but it's all I can get now with the crummy weather. The stake pockets and running boards are roughed in. And Moparron, I appreciate what you are saying about the Mopar drive line, but, I don't have them available to me for the right price.

Here is the most awesome COE site I've seen yet that comes from Austrailia (forgive me if someone has already posted it):

Check out all the neat pics for some very nice Coe's. There are a lot of links to follow up too. I spent two hours looking at the whole site.

Here's the link to my COE project thread:

Get a bit farther with the project. Made running board brackets yesterday after a trip in for a Biopsy for my wife. The rolled pan is being made as well as a another piece of running board material so I can replace the short lower boards on the cab.

Thanks Ron!

 

I've got to finish up my race truck and roadster PU projects befor I can get back to my 3 COE projects Ron...

 

Kooscoe! That truck is so bad****! I love it. The stance is just killer and I love that you made it a flatbed instead of using a pickup bed. Very Nice. I must draw a picture of that someday soon.

 

Found this one in the woods saturday.

 

the responce to this thread still blows me away. thank you everyone!

 

starting this thread was a great idea, thanks for thinking about it, lots of cool trucks and ideas here... Ron....

 

>>"I would like some suggestions for tail lights for this beast!"<<

In keeping with the cleanliness of the rear, I'd be curious to see something like 4 frenched 4" round lenses, but down in the curve of the rollpan, pointing not rearward but down at a -say- 45 degree angle. Setting them in the curve may only allow a slice of the actual lense to be seen, primarily it would be the glow in the 'can' and on the road (better use halogens...). Two lamps to the outer edges, 2 paired in the center.

 

Maybe some 1970 Baracuda(round) or Dodge Challenger tail light lens(rectangular) would look good(keeping the Mopar theme).
