Anybody ever seen one of these? IH COE?

I went to Bowie TX today to pick up a motorcycle with my son and spotted this along the way. I've always been a binder fan, but never knew they made a COE. I like the boxy body, it makes the COE look even more pug nosed. Have I been under a rock by not seeing one before, or are these on the rare side?

My guess would be a "Uh yup." I can see why, it's fugly IMO.

 

That cornbinder is cool as can be!!!!!!......OLDBEET

 

We had 'em. A mate of mine had pix he took on a farm last year with 3 parked under a tree. Could be cool as if treated right.

 

Look for pics of a 37 Binder COE, they look pretty cool.
They have a suicide door on one side and a regular door on the other side.

 

Yup, you been under a rock. My dad had one of these in a semi tractor model.('57) Went like a sob, w/gas engine. There is one for sale exactly like dad had in Stephenson ,MI. I had thought of buying it, but got too many irons in the fire now. GMC made a similar model, w/Pontiac engine. The old man had one of them too. Neither one was a true coe, but "snub-nose". As I recall, they both went like hell, had good pulling power for their time, turned short, and rode awful as compared to hoods........Ole Pork

 

Those are killa just like Ol'Beet said.
I was supposed to get one for free a while ago,better follow up on it.
Yeah they're kinda rare and way kooler then a mainstream big 3!.....Shiny

 

A friend of mine in Australia has a rodded IH COE. I don't have any digital shots of it but will dig out the print phots and scan and post them when I get a chance.

Actually that snub nose cab in that body style of International may be more common than the conventional. The reason for the snub nose trucks in the 40's and 50's is that the eastern states had very restrictive length laws on the books so short trucks were a necessity in those states. Most western states didn't have those laws in effect but the short nose trucks were even popular out west for awhile.

 

I like it. Love the boxy nose.

 

That is one of the most hideous things Ive ever seen...It should definitely be back on the road collecting curious stares and "what the's". In proper form I bet it could give the Jeepers Creepers truck a run for its money.

 

be a cool carhauler with a rollback bed and a sleeper.

 

Wow is that ever ugly. It's ugly enough to be kool, but ugly. Yuk! I dunno maybe it's just the color? Naw...it's ugly.

 

Here's my pal's 1939 version. It's for sale BTW....

 

There is one in a small private junkyard in southern Ohio but I think its too rough to repair and it was the first time I remember seeing one,there have neen a couple on ebay in the last couple years. Jeff

 

I had a 37 with the strange doors. Drivers side atandard and the passenger side suicide. Pictures on my web site

 

NO: And I don't care to ever see another one.

 

My friend has a 56 IH COE project he is trying to sell.
