Hey guys, I'm looking for hood latches for a '47-55 Chevy or GMC COE, I'm working on a '54 but I think all the latches are the same for the AD body style. Thanks, Rob
Hey guys Im looking for a early Ford COE cab, this is for a project in little New Zealand - so it gonna be shipped overseas. Im low on budget - and the dollar conversion between NZ and America isn't pretty either - but Im also realistic... I dont mind a bit of rust - I dont care if the floors are gone {as Im going to replace them anyway} I dont mind missing gl***, Im not looking for a show truck - this thing is gonna get a full rebuild regardless of condition. Any thing out there?
If I had it to do again, I would seriously consider looking in the Southwest US for a cab. The New England cab that I have was very rough. I suspect West Coast guys would have considered it parts only. I've been slowly working on it.. The SW climate lends itself to keeping sheet metal in decent shape. In New England and many northern states SALT is used on the roads and not friendly to steel. That said.... How early? 38-40 Oval Grills are probably the most rare followed by 41-47 which is the same body with a slat grill (mine's a 41)... There seem to be a fair supply of the 48-52 body style as well as the 53 and up. I think it really depends on what you like.
Lots of COES in New Mexico, Utah . If I had it to do over I'll buy a running one and modify to suit me .
My favs are the early ones {of course they are the rarest and most expensive as well} but Im actually keen for anything prior to 48 and onwards.
Don't trash them Barry! Somebody is gonna need them. You can store them at my place if you get down this way....
Dooohhhhh, I just tossed em in a bin tonight, about an hour before your post, if you really think they are worth it, I will go pull them out.
No worries.....I didn't want them myself, just hate to see old parts get tossed. Somebody restoring one would love to have them. That's where my OE seat went, I gave it away
