Projects 1950 Ford F5 COE project truck

The project is looking good! I wish I had it back!

 

Raise the cab ! ,,after all, it is a CabOVER,,,,

 

I just did a 48 f2 pickup body transfer onto a 95 fullsize ch***is with a 2000 lm7 5.3 and 4L60e trans. It worked out good. I have pics floating around on here if you look up my posts in my profile.

Awesome project though, I wish I could have found a COE cab.

 

Got the motor on the stand today, time to start working on it a bit...also got the turbo 400....hopr to mount the cab and hook up the steering in the next few weeks....

 

Glad to see your back at it !

 

Got the motor on the stand...cleaned off the injection and started to pull apart...sending heads out for a quick valve job, mainly to reseal everything, it ran fine....

 

Going to knock off from the garage tonight....got the 1950 COE cab mounted steering column thanks Jonathan Riggs in and the new joints all installed, cleaned out the cab and getting ready to do what little rust repair I have to do.....then....mount and fit front end, install gl*** and then....re install the 454 and TH400 then have a drive shaft made up.....stay tuned, be driving it soon!! Nice having a milling machine in the garage, makes making the mounts pretty easy.....

 

Nice progress! I am still working on my 195o Cgevy COE/Panel truck...I will insert some new pictures into the Album soon! Griffdaddy4

 

Started fitting Dog House....Will have it done by weekend.....

 

Looking REAL BAD ***.....Sits JUST right for me......pending the weather this weekend....may start fitting the motor & Trans in......

 

COE work continues....Welded up front window area that was rusted away, used pieces from the GMC donor truck, Tom Ratliff and I installed the new Tinted rear window and new rubber....smoothing out the insides a bit before I install the new front tinted window and all new tinted side gl*** as well.....look close in the last picture above, you can see missing channel in front window....due to rust..

Need to raise some funding for the Trans-Dapt Motor & Trans mounts....maybe next week......
