Bill, I can't get the link to work. FYI, I never heard of a Commer. Guess I'n not to old to learn something new.

 

Hi Mike
I just clicked on the above link and it worked for me.
Commers are Pommie (English)trucks imported and built in Australia

Bill

 

Worked for me this time..

 

Her's another pommie that I like. Forgot if it's an EMF or a Foden.

 

A seriously sweet 1940 Ford!! http://ruffrodders.com/forum/showthread.php?t=42446

 

And a 1950 with a wicked chop! (oh wait, I'm from New England... WICKED PISSAH Chop!)

Sorry, but I find that thing hideous. Everyone has different tastes I guess.....

 

I have to agree as I can not understand how a pickup bed can work with a sleeper cabin.

 

Hotfr8 ... do I hear a bit of sarcasm?

 

No you do not. A truck with a sleeper cabin and a pickup bed just do not work. It just looks wrong. It is all out of proportion. I suppose you could also say it does not look traditional.

Take off the pickup bed and the rear running boards on that COE and it would appeal to many much more.

 

I just got a 55 ford coe want to use a 1987 ford cab and chasie f 350 diesel. any ideas, want to use column and dash. Will that work or should I try another idea. any help would be appricated.

 

Those Commers sound great too.

Although not a coe, I wouldn't mine having a Scamell.

Get out your tape measure and have at it! A lot of questions and problems pop up with the steering. Get a steering box that has the steering shaft sticking nearly straight up! (17 u-joints ain't cool) Most seem to want to use a Chev chassis, don't know why as there always seems to be a lot of modifying. (and gnashing of teeth). I would start with a pencil and paper, then progress to some rectangular tubing (scratch build it) If you don't have the capabilities required to do a scratch built frame, how can you successfully modify something to work safely.
I may sound harsh, but I believe it is the truth.

 

When I saw it I didn't even get to the box, the flames would gag a maggot!

 

I would use as much of the 87 if it was me.

That does not sound like a Commer Engine.
This is a Commer engine.

Now that as a crewcab looks good and like it came from the factory.

As I said all in the proportions.

 

here is what is going in my Autocar. (avatar)

mine is a 225 hp version, want to step it up to about 325 hp

 

& WHAT??????????????
Add a TOTALLY USELESS wing on there instead

 

finally got a COE on the line. We have to get moved out of our house, and find where we're going, but PRIORITIES, PRIORITIES, I'm buying a 1956 Ford Coe!
the bones:

this hacked photo is pseudo-vision on my concept (no flames):

earnest $ is in the mail. finish the deal in July...
stoked,
JML

 

Nice Find. Good luck on the move and the COE project. Let us other COE addicts know when you start your build thread on this Beautiful Beast.

 

Nice!! I always like the COEs that have the Big Rig look....
Powertrain plans?

 

Her are a couple of my 47. Chopped, Stretched, It is going through somewhat of a face lift, tummy tuck, rebirth so to speak, It has been sitting for 7 years not cranked with a 58 MGA strapped on here back until about 2 months ago when the owner finally called me back after a year of leaving notes on his door...Been through the brakes, fuel, all hoses, belts and wiring so far, Got my tall lokar shifter mounted this week and will finish it up tomorrow, I will get the interior done next then trash the flat bed and put a 46 bed and rear fenders on it..
Does anyone know Tom ? in Pubelo Co, he built this truck in early 2000 and sold it to the guy I got it from in 03..the last picture was taken in 01 just after Tom finished the build..

 

maybe all ford. F350 - F550 PSD?
maybe medium duty F650-F750 - but I think the front axle might be too wide
would love to have a monstrous DT466
gotta get it in the wings and tape measure and head scratch
JML

 

COE with an early dragster..

 

Legos? you've got to be kidding!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Hey man,good to see you posting!!!!
How you been?

I think its this

... . .-.

 

I have broken that wing mount a few times now due to down force at highway speeds. So it shows it works and I have had to make it stronger. Has also made a difference towing trailers. Mind you my truck is not a COE so I am not posting it here. The wing is removable for the 5th wheel but as yet I have no 5th wheeler style trailer to tow.

Me too. The****mins makes for a traditional rig.

 

got my coe today will try to post pictures. would like information want to put it on 87 ford 350 van chassie. what things should I be concern most about. would like any opinions THANKS If anybody has time to talk about any ideas or experience my number is 765 969 6957
