COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

Your beautiful old truck was one of the reasons I was inspired to buy a COE.

 

Check out the dual front wheels. I bet that was fun to steer.


These are from a book that my Dad saved from the discard trash at the high school library.

"Motor Trucks of America" by James A. Wren and Genevieve J. Wren for Motor Vehicle Manufactuters ***ociation of the United States, Inc., the University of Michigan Press, Ann Arbor, 1979

 

Cool pictures. That was the first COE with an engine located behind the cab

 

SW Kansas along Hwy 50

your link don't work

 

Can you check your links Bill as all I see is an over quota message.

 

I have my eye on an old Autocar like the one pictured above , but i haven't been able to get close to it yet. Can anyone tell me if a man that is 6 foot 5 inches and 317 pounds fit in one of these ?

 

That Linesman totally rocks with that box on it. Where did you find all these gems in Tx?

 

I got the pics out of this thread , but the truck that i have my eye on is like the Autocar .

 

This thread is so long I must have missed it.

 

Well I would say that you WOULD NOT be comfortable inside that Autocar unless you were to stretch the cab... Just my 2 cents...

 

Damn, there are a lot of neat trucks out there, heres my 40 Dodge.

I got a chance to get the COE inside and started getting something done . I had a guy call me last week and wanted to see if I would show him body working tecniques that something other than the way he was used to(liquid body work) So I got the COE in and got him warmed up to a stud gun ,*******s and shrink disc and he is really excited about it .

He wont be back for a few weeks so I decided it was time to get the project rolling . So I brought in the ch***is I am using which is a 90s Isuzu NPR that someone put a rear cut from a 80s chev 1 ton on . I did some measuring and found the track width was real good and all I needed to do was get the wheels to line up with the fenders . As it turned out I had to move the engine back about 4ft to get the height all figured out . So I dropped the ***embly on a cart that was the perfect height and rolled it back untill I was satisfied with the body location . I then had to cut an area of the back of the cab out to get the engine placed where I wanted it without interfering with the insides .

There was alot of fitting and cutting in the front to get the sheet metal all lined up , but after moving the steering back the right amount and lobbing off the frame back to the spring mounts every thing looks good .

I will post as I get more done as I have to do this between customer work as I already have 3 days into it already . I should get more done on Sat if I dont get too many interuptions . That is unless some of you are so bored with winter that you want to come and pitch in . Dan 507-263-7411

 

Hey Dan, cool project! I wish I was closer, and didn't have "everything" to do this time of year! Start a build thread. There are a lot of COE guys on here including me.
As a side note, it sure seems like the Isuzu ch***is is making life hard for you compared to some other builds on here? Are you still going to have room for a seat?

 

There's the chev version of the c.o.e. box truck on kijiji under winnipeg cl***ic cars. just saying!

 

Ill show more pics to show what I did on the rear panel. It is cut to the back of the original seat riser and doesnt change the interior space .

 

I started a thread on the build if anyone wants to follow

 

Post a link!

 

I found these photos in the Utah state archives while reasearching the history of my Salt Lake Diamond T. It looks like a 4WD conversion with a rear box that raises and lowers. For what purpose, I have no idea.

 

I think that one might be front wheel drive.

 

We like our trucks low here in Utah!

Hum that gives me an idea.

 

#3577 Saw one of those runnin'around out here years ago. It was a stake bed. FWD only. Belonged to a company that specialized in moving safes (strong boxes)

It's a 78 Eldorado with the 425v8

Eventually I'll put some center caps on it just have to design some fingers to hold the hub caps on.

Cab just mounted on the ch***is
