Just picked up a 1952 International COE

 

Got any photos of it to post?

 

Some day I'd like to have an Oval Grilled '40 Ford COE, but saw a nice looking 1950 COE at Hershey last month. Is there a big differance in inside cab room on the 40 vs 50 cabs? What are other plus and minus features?

 

If no one else has.. a couple COEs to note:

When were the last COEs?

This one is not a COE, but a successor of sorts. Still runs and drives, anyone interested?

 

The last COE's were probably the Fords built up till the early 70's. I always called them half-cabovers. Can't think of any others right now. Anyone else?



After thinking about it, I suppose these count too. Up into the mid-80's.

 

The top Ford is an LCF and the bottom one is a Tilt Cab. The tilt cabs have always been called cab overs.

 

starting initial work on building a COE. your your opinion what the best/easiest chassis to build on? RV E350 vans , stepvan

 

it would depend partially on what your COE is, I measured my 56 Mercury COE and it will fit quite well on an E350 chassis by the looks of it, but an older COE might be too small.

 

lots of potential for 500 buks

This is pretty cool.....'38 Ford derrick truck. The platform extends upward for working on power lines, etc. I stole the pics from the Ford truck site (FTE)....

 

looking at a ford f500 coe low 50's like 52 or something.
does everything line up for steering and such in the e350??

I'm worrying more on the front steering wheel and engine than the rear/frame i can extend the frame easily.

something like this

Here's my 57 so far... the members of the COE group have seen it

 

what did you use for the back second doors?

 

those are the back portion of 2 doors off a regular cab 55-59 truck.

 

Will someone please oh please trade me a COE!!!!!! http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=639614

 

Nice back doors, they look a lot like mine!

 

I was going for as stock looking as possible. I just dig your stretched burb. That coach company put out some nice ones.

 

I recently picked this up. It's an unfinished project with a Toronado clip in front. If anyone has suggestions on how to hook up a steering column to a box that is pretty much right under your feet, I'm all ears. Is there an exceptionally wide power rack that I could use to replace the Toronado center link? If I could install a rack and rotate it so the input shaft is pointed forward, that would get me most of the way there.

 

Here is one way to do, although very expensive.

Found A photo of Pex his Coe on Flickr.com
High River Car Show

This is the link. http://www.flickr.com/photos/daveseven/sets/72157627753499196/

 

Small world, the guy that took the photo is a friend of mine!

 

Look at using a 1999 Chevy van steering box to see if that may work for you. Box points straight up in the iar and drag link goes side to side.

 

Put a picture on here of what you have to work with and around.

 

Test fit my dodge cab on my newly acquired 73 chevy / Mitchel motorhome chassis. Im in a build race with the ford guy in Arvada (junk-junkie), my steering should be much easier to deal with. : )

 

Realy Nice Photo

 

wow great pic they almost look fake.

 

The 98+ Isuzu Rodeo has a rack&pinon the has the input shaft facing forward and a angled reverser box to get the steering column to reach it. I'm not sure if it is what your looking for though.


not my picture

 

Best part of this pic is the '60 Chevy behind the COE... anyone else see that?

Not to demean your COE man, I just LOOOOOOVE '60 Chebbies!
