COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

He would get 16 mpg if it didn't have those huge mirrors on it...

Personally, I don't like the mirrors or stacks, and the bed in the picture looks rough. Using the original front axle and single master works, but makes it seem like a cheap build. The master needs swapped for sure for safety reasons. The axle, if it is solid and tight, is fine, but I bet it rides like a truck... I****ume no power steering. What is the interior like? Is the fit and finish of the swapped parts (engine, rear end, etc...) done well, or just done on the cheap? Take off the "new car blinders" if you can.

Lastly, is it close to what you want? If you need to change everything, then you'll be spending money for it twice.

On the plus side, a rust free cab and no bodywork is worth a lot these days. Is the paint good? Paint jobs cost money.

These are just my opinions...take them for what they are worth.

 

Found this for sale on ePay

 

Did you see the offset he put on the brake pedal?

 

Hauling the big wood!

 

The pics of it wet make it look even cooler...this 48 Chevy COE just showed up on craigslist on California, MO for $1950, with a****le.

 

Just had a look at the MACK cab here being restored and the tops of the doors are round.

It is all painted now in cream with black fenders. No point in taking a photo until it is all in one piece again.

 

any link to this please? i've tried searching but craigslist is too full!

 

Well, I may have found my new project. Hope the owner decides to part with it...

The 38 autocar trailer posted above by Kscar is sold already

 

i sure hope it went to a hamber; i'd really like to see it again some day. maybe filled with hot rods???

 

Is there a build thread on this one? It looks awesome! I'm about to start a build on a 51 GMC and I hope it trues out half as nice.

 

Im having dejavue


I think those are just tales!

 

I think he is a spam poster. Post has been removed.

 

52 Diamond T now on Ebay

 

Here's a Dodge that could be saved: http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/classifieds/pwp-122211-54coe.php

 

I think they have the year wrong on that Diamond T. I believe 1957 was the first year for that body style.

 

I think you are right. There was an estate auction last year in Kansas that included a bunch of Diamond Ts. I think this might be one of them, too bad some****hole cut it up and sold all the heavy iron for scrap and now wants to get a******house price for the cab. Damn, I hate scrappers!

 

Here's a good-looking COE rig I found while searching Utah archives for photos related to my Salt Lake Diamond T.

 

Thats what my Scrapper buddy found for me. A 1936 GMC,, Went and looked at it when I pulled the 60 hearse he got for me out from the field.
Has a 12 foot flatbed on her with what looks like the bottom of a suburban body,,, with fenders,,,, for a lower filler on each side of the bed.
Now if I can just keep his dumb**** out of Jail long enough to go get it.

 

Real Nice

 

GMC didn't build COEs in 36! They relied on Montpelier Body works to modify conventionals. Montpelier bodies looked quite different than the 37-38 shown in Barn Finds post.
Here is another 38 from Kalamazoo MI Nats north from a few years ago

 

That COE is still around, I saw it there last year

 

Anybody know what this is?

 

Fugly!

 

It looks homemade to me.
