COE '41 Ford COE coke truck

Ok so here is my project that has me almost sleeping in the shop with the truck. It is a 1941 Ford COE coke truck from the Spokane Wa area. The back of the truck was made by West Street Carriage Co from Seattle Wa. I have been wanting to do a COE project for a while now and this is the start.

I am not sure what to do with the back of the truck, I don't know if I want to keep the original coke style truck or convert it to something like a flat bed or pickup style. The back of the truck has a lift gate attached which functions. So any way, this COE stuff is new and it will be a fun build. If anyone has any ideas or info it would be greatly appreciated. Heres a couple more pics, thanks.

 

What a nice start, looks good

 

looks good like that!

 

Nice truck , can't wait too see what you do with it. What direction are your plans?

 

keep the box....it looks really cool

 

Damn!
That looks pretty cool.
Good start

 

Oh hell yes keep the box! Very unique. Looks like a great truck too!

 

Good score! I think the most important thing is to build it for the purpose that suits you the owner best. If you decide to keep the box, it could be made into a sleeper style camper or? thanks for the comments you pm'd me on my truck. I build it to have a good riding, comfortable touring style truck that i can pull any of my trailers with.

 

I know your excitement and stress of finding a direction. I can see where I want to be with my truck... I am just mapping out the road thats gonna take me there build wise.good luck.

 

Cool looking Coe truck. I realy love the box on the back. There alrady are lots of pickup beds coe trucks. I see keep the box. Origional and cool
