I got a chance to pick up a cab over truck. 41 Dodge. I need some support pictures to base my decision if I should go for it, or not. I would put it on a Chevy full size standard cab pickup frame w/ SBC motor. I have front fenders and will probably make deco style rear fenders for it. Im looking for some Deco looking trucks...Does anyone have any picts of custom COE's and such? Or web site locations too? Thanks for help and time!!!
There were quite a few at the GoodGuys show at Del Mar this weekend, didn't get any pics of them though. You might check the GG website... Better yet, check out Dave's photos at: http://wackydave.fotki.com/car_shows/goodguys_del_mar/
I have a big interest in COE trucks and (Cl***iccoe.com) has given me tons of information. I have found that they are verymuch like the hamb. I have not come across any negatives from anyone yet. Great group of people
Norm. That pic of the coe with the personal plates that says darodsp is out in Simi Valley area. He has a custom rod shop out there. I see it out there when I go to my cuz' house.KNUX......you did not tell me that you were interested in COE's? When done right, they are awesome. Dante had one that he was workin on in his garage some bit ago. I can ask him about maybe some leeds for ya.
its still a work in progress. check out the website to look at some of the work. i did all the body work. the owner did the crazy frame set up. it looks bad ***.
These sure have been gaining in popularity at the shows. A cool tow vehicle that's for sure. I guess if you're the hot rodder that has everything, why not!
I'm especially fond of this one. Here's the feature article (with more pix) from Cl***ic Trucks magazine: http://cl***ictrucks.com/features/0407cl_48ford/

How about a highboy COE. Here's a Lance Sorchick cartoon from Rodders Digest many moons ago. Also check the search feature on the HAMB - there was a nice thread about COE's awhile back.
wow, some really cool ideas. I basically want to build a standard COE pickup, not a heavy hauler. I guess a truck w/ a normal type/wood slat bed. Dont think it will ever see glossy paint, I guess, its the thrill of building it. I just got a standard bed 80's chevy full size frame (complete roller) that Im debating on sticking it on. Thanks again, and if the pictures keep comming, keep em comming. This is the truck body that I have...actually, the complete darn truck...
