Projects Another COE build....sort of.

I like it personally...

 

Thanks Bjinatj


I am going out to try and finish off more stuff. I have to get a oil cooler for it because I can not use the original radiator that it came with. The oil lines come out of the block. It is a 1994 454 c.i.

 

Looks like it's gonna be a cool ride! What are you doing to minimize the engine hump in the middle of the cab? I'm using a 41 Chevy COE on a 7.3L Powerstroke and this is one of the issues I'll face. Anxiously awaiting your next posts on your build. Love it.

Overthehump

 

I wonder about minimizing the hump in the cab too. My cab is a '39 Chev, which may be even more compact than the '41 and later cab.

 

I think they are the same cab. I am finally able to start back on mine but unfortunately I had come back to reality and decided it is best to build this as a nice work truck.

 

Well now that the Holidays are over and life is getting back to ..........ummm semi normal I think I should try and finish this monster.

 

I had some help today. Thanks Clarence for giving me a hand.

 

Jeepers creepers, this is awesome cool. What a great carrier for the Kosmikart.

 

Good to see you are back on it.
Can't wait to see it finished!

 

I think this is going to be a nice combination. On board to follow the fun!

 

Does anyone know what I can use for an alternative for my oil lines coming out of the block. This truck had an oil cooler built in the radiator and it has pressure type fitting on the ends. Can I cut these off and use clamps to hook these lines to an external oil cooler?

 

Yes you can. But do it with some good line connectors. Not just hose and clamps. Good luck with the build. I love driving my COE.One of my favorite vehicles.

 

Thanks Baron, your build is one of my inspirations to building this one.

 

Looking good. its going to be quite a sight with the kart on the back.

 

Thanks Iwanaflattie. I had to put this on hold for a little bit but will be back on it b y the end of Sept. I had bought another cab because I am going to make this into a quad cab being I have 6 kids ....lol I will post pics of the progress for anyone interested in seeing them.

 

Yeah, we're interested!

 

As long as the oil cooler dumps into the oil pan and not into oil galley lines on the block, you can use clamps. My truck had trans, engine, and power steering lines to the radiator,, all pressure in and non pressure dump,, with barbed fittings and clamps. Picture is of said truck that I have since sold,, 40 Diamond T on 79 Chev 1 ton step van chassis.

 

Babyearl Thanks I will have to check on this I had forgotten exactly what they look like but I do know the lines come out of the block itself

 

Now this is getting interesting..

 

Well I was sketching out some ideas and this is where I am heading for sure. I plan to fill the upper grille in the hood area and I am putting in 39 Ford headlights rather than the originals. I should be gettinf a donor cab soon then all hell will break loose anyways this is where I am leaning with the finished look.

 

Can't wait to see more..

 

Awesome. Subscribed.

 

Well now that the 42 Chevy truck is done I have to get back on this so I will post pics and updates on it but this last sketch I did is the way it is going to end up I hope stay tuned and please feel free to ask questions or offer advice. I love to learn Thanks
