COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

Hey, this question is for any of ya'll that are familiar with the '39-'41 Ford COE trucks, re: the headlight stands that have the small turn signal or running light in the stand.

Are these stands distinctly Right and Left, or can they be swapped from one side to the other? Looking at photos, it is hard to tell if they mount pretty much straight ahead, or does the fender surface that they mount on sort of turn in towards the grille on either side?

I'm wondering if they might be suitable to replace the stands on something like a '34 Ford Sedan. The car in question is missing the original headlight stands.

Thanks, *****6

 

I couldn't cut mine up for that either... also LOL on LS7 NUT

That is so tempting, I'm only 7 hours or so north of the Montana Border... I've been showing it to my friends hoping they want it and I can live vicariously through them!

 

I have not noted any difference
As far as I know, they are the same each side.
Bill, can you chime in here? all mine 'seem' to be the same

 

Must of had Engine on the brain when I typed that because the S and N are not even close to each other on the key board...been working on a 454 swap into Big Bretha....so the wiring coversion has been stuck in my head

 

Stands are same right to left. The 39 big truck without the parking light is the same shape. It offers a smoother look to the front end of the COE.

I don't think I would use COE stands on a 34 sedan. The 34 needs a more refined headlight and a shorter stand. The angle at the bottom of the stand would move the headlights too far forward on the 34 too.

 

O.K., I bought a pair of those stands years ago at swap meet, but didn't know what they were at the time ( Hey, these look cool... ). They're in a box, somewhere.

I do have some '34 commercial headlights which are larger than the p***enger '34's, but I just like the way they look on a sedan. I could just find some of the stock '34 stands for those.

Thanks for the input. And now, back to the big trucks!

see-ya mate from downunder Mark jones Fat57 customs

 

"Big Bertha" is looking good! Pretty similar to my -50 with that long frame. What are your plans?

 

I looked at the tyres on the COE ,like you I wondered what the were.
I can tell you they are not "flappers " real whitewall radials.cheers David

 

Runnin a 1971 chevy long bed frame at the moment. still have original running gear. thinking of using v-8 wanna put a original style pickup bed on it. make it look faily stock but with a twist. lol

 

Thank you.

 

Hey Koos. Congrats on the sale of your truck. We all get to that point where it is time to move on, and we ( I) don't have enough space to keep them all. Hope all is well.

this is cool on too many levels!...

 

^^^^That is Larry Woods COE, The Hot Wheels design guy. And his one off Spartan Manor, converted to a fifth wheel. Yes, Patrick.....way too cool

 

That would explain all the Hot Wheels toys that are based on 38-47 Ford COE's!

 

I want the fifthwheel.....I am planning on building on something like that....I have to get a bigger shop first....

 

I agree...so cool. First time I ever saw a box A/C unit or TV dish on the roof of a COE.

 

Here are a few pics I found on the web.

 

Is my eyesight playing tricks on me or has the cab and doors been stretched???

 

my guess is that the roof's been chopped. (a mild one)

it makes the doors look longer.

 

I sent an email to Bill asking the same question.
I think it has had both a small chop , but the doors just seem a bit longer too!

 

ACME Speed Shop posted these in a thread he started. I don't know what make this is but I WANT ONE!

From what I gathered from the thread it is not for sale.

 

Autocar? Whatever it is........IT'S COOL!

I always wanted to find an old tanker and turn it into an RV.....or at least a sleeping compartment.
