Thanks Steve, that's the same system. I would have just gone and done it if this was any system other than the brakes. I think the truck weighs...

http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/picture.php?albumid=42594&pictureid=509327 I didn't think about the push/pull forces on the rod. im trying...
Hey folks, finally got some great weather in CO and im trying to get some ideas for my (3)pedal linkage. Quick recap, 52 chevy coe on 94 F600...
I just spent 4 straight hrs reading this thread and just want to grab my tools and get to work! Thank you!
I wont say I don't like it, I just want to see the finished truck before I say I do like it. I kinda see where they are going with the squinty eye...
I live in a suburb that CNN money magazine rated #1 small cities under 15k residence and I have my COE project being built in my back yard along...
http://denver.craigslist.org/pts/4280161005.html saw this post on craigslist, I know your past this point in the build but never hurts to share.
Mack- I currently own/operate a food truck that's technically a trailer, its 8x17 inside. I have a pretty good plan for the cook line but still...
Daddio- I was thinking if it was good enough for the Duke boys... I like the pocket idea. What about extending the metal down on the cab were...
The farmer that sold it to me has a few more (COEs) kicking around. does anyone have pics of fenders that have been stretched? I liked that triple...
Heres a couple shots jumping some of the progress. This is how its sat since winter storm cleon. Work and life got in the way the last few weeks....
Daddio- the grill was the only part that wasn't on the truck when I bought it. Ive seen an old gmc sedan with huge pointy teeth that I liked. Im...
I didn't take a pic of the rear cab mounts after they were fully burned in. Everything structural is fully welded. I didn't feel the need to go...
I wonder if the KDP has been fixed? since everything has the tamper proof paint marks still on it from Cummins, Im guessing the front cover hasn't...
removed most of the floor at this point. [IMG] shifter will get modified a little but its useable in the factory location, just a little low...
The drivers side step from the ford was almost a perfect fit for the corners. came up about 1.5" shorter on both sides than id like but free is...
[IMG] [IMG] [IMG] might not look like much but this was a big moment, the cab is finally mounted to the frame. [IMG] time to fix some...
[IMG] I built a subframe out of 1x2 tube to mount the cab on. [IMG] I removed the crossmember the ford cab sat on, cut it up and made mounts...
65 standard- function over form on this one, I was thinking either start the fenders roll closer to the cab and have them dip down a little to...
Almost fit like a glove, little "adjustment" and I have inches to spare on either side! [IMG] [IMG] I used threaded rod to mock up the...
[IMG] Biggest issue was the stick shift. little sawzall action and problem solved. Cab was too heavy to lift over the 18" long shifter. [IMG]...
I had a bunch of pics that didn't load yesterday. lets try again. [IMG] Looking at about a 16" difference. Fenders will be widened by 8" each....
Nope, not sure of anything but the farmer I bought it from said it was a 52.
A few years ago I found a farmer with about 4 acres of big, old vehicles and farm equipment. Kind of like an elephant graveyard waiting for...
Yeah its not the snow so much as single digits for the last 4 days. Even with a cloudless sky, its only about ZERO.
Im in the process of doing the same thing, food truck based on a 52 Chevy. Guy had a 50 GMC available too but the chevy was in better shape. Ill...
well dang. im not old enough to use the memory excuse. 65standard- is the hood in your avatar metal or paint?
Wolf creek steve- wasn't it a garage shot of a pair of chevy/gmc 48-52 coe and a regular cab?
the coe is much taller. someone on here has a shot of their coe and "little" truck side by side.
