COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

I think it had to do with being more maneuverable in fields, almost all seem to have had grain bodies on them.
I knew a potato farmer here in Wisconsin that used them for harvesting potatos. He claimed it was easier for the truck driver to communicate with the harvester operator because they sat closer to the same height.

 

It sold last night for $200.00

The Bedford coe's are strange with the front wheels directly under the doors making access difficult tmo anyway,so with the short nose,the motor takes up cab space,i do like the split screen with the pop out windows,like the VW'S,i think i'll put em in my chev cab when I find one !

 

That's a lot like my old one, only the bed is taller.

 

Hello Buggy 5872, Like your 57 Apache r u interested in selling it ? Thanks Rick

 

Hey Buggy 5872 love your 57 Apache if u r interested email me windwalker1979@gmail.com thanks Rick

 

We also have fewer tin worms out here in the high desert. Old stuff lasts a long time.

 

Anyone know what a stock 41 Ford COE (less the bed) weights?

 

I seem to remember reading somewhere 5400-6000#. They certainly weren't as heavy as modern similarly rated stuff.

 

I want one of these whatever they are .

 

They are all****eol transport trucks. You can find their history here
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fageol
and search google pics for more. KCsledz has been trying to put one together for a mobile print shop. see here

Yeah. I found out they were****eols after i posted the the photo's.
I then done a Google search and found the images and a bit more about them.
Now to try and find one cheap enough to get it sent down here.

 

STILL waiting to see your updated pic's of ya COE...

 

ha hA!
Been working today........... but not on that!
(the COE's are still deep in the container )

 

I've posted about this one before. A 1938 Mack that has been restored here in Castlemaine.
Was a former Bell Telephone company work truck in the US before it came here.
Even has the restored logo on the door.


The guide type headlights suit it.

 

Kind of looks like it'll turn out something like this one! Photo courtesy of HAMBer desoto

 

THAT Is a beautiful truck.

 

Now that looks good.

I am a little disappointed I am not going to see it finished as the chassis is not here with it.

 

Anyone know of any dodge L600/L700s for sale..?

and to keep on topic, current project being built by Wayne at Intergalactic Customs:

 

This are the wheels i want to run provided I can buy a set that are non split/2 piece/widowmaker.

 

My rolling chassis was 3300 lbs. (frame, axles, drivetrain, wheels, tires...) Cab has been rumored at 500.

 

I like 'em. These trucks need a bigger wheel/tire like that to fill up the fender opening.

 

Thanks man..these wheels do look better than 70s 80s steelies.
I have the choice to convert these to 18" filling a bit more but @ 200 per.I have to save my pennies and tyres are not cheap either.
If I could convert them to 17" i can buy whitewalls for 200 @ piece..
So I guess its saving time for wheels and tires from now on.

A little photochoppin" not my truck but a found pic to play with

 

Just my opinion! Bring the box sides up so the top edge is about even with the drivers elbow. I did this on a Studebaker and it really*****ed the top down as if it were chopped.
On this one I dropped the whole cab 4" also.

 

Here's Mine.

 

Cool Thread!
Can anybody tell me what make / model this is?

 

Appears to be a 48-52 Ford conventional cab (note flat door bottoms) converted to a cabover. Have seen pics of a few of these....
