COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

Bill, that is just incredible! Looks great...

 

Looks great Bill !!!!!

 

Such a******in' truck Bill! Thanks!

 

Truck looks great Bill!
Gotta feel good to be using it, the engine thing is
just a minor hiccup.

 

Ya done good Mate!!!!!!!!!!

 

Too good Bill ,luv the visor,looks like hq/hz,all it needs now is a sbc,lol.

 

Thanks guys
Now if it only went as good as it looks !!!, at the moment the Oil Pan is removed from the 351, just as soon as I figure out what new oil pump I will use, I pulled the old FMX Trans today, the reco'd FMX is ready to go in but I will wait till I work out what I am doing with the Engine, if the engine needs to come out then it is easier without the Trans in place, oh yeah and I am also fitting a different Steering Column, one from a Land Cruiser, plenty to do and all day to do it in (grin)
The Visor is NOS F100 narrowed about 4", I do have a spare one if you are interested, the local Ford Dealer was throwing them out so my son the painter grabbed them.

Seeya
Bill

 

I thought that visor was mine

 

its a 39--45 gmc front and the cab replaced with a case motorgrader one(my guess) , indicates its a 43-5 --all of those were the open cab/canvas top kind.

 

Hey Bill the truck is looking fantastic, the amount of work you have done to get it to where it is today is staggering,

some news from us
We recently got a new donor truck for the 38 COE, a complete Chev CK3500 with aluminium tilt slide tray, hopefully we will get a start on it over the next month so I will post some pictures as we have progress

 

Looking good Bill. Having hassle with the Air Con in mine at present Have gassed it twice in the 4 years it has been on the road, finally looking to find the installer failed to crimp fittings as he should. About to Nitrogen test it for the 5th time.

Have not seen or heard of you for a long time. Good to hear. What happened to that Truck Cab you got from me all that time ago ?

 

You'd better Pete

 

Sorry for the bad pictures I was talking pictures of the TV, but saw this COE on the show American Pickers.

 

cool

 

Here's a short video of my 54' C.O.E transporter I have posted many times on here before but this is the new engine mounted in the rear under the bed. on the way to my shop for some repairs and a complete freshen up.

Hi Mark
Very cool, won't be long and we should be able to show our COE's together
Much easier having the engine under the bed isn't it.

Bill

 

I sent a link to your video to my buddy. I entitled it "Australian*******". His wife is going to have a fit !

 

Just struck deal with a fellow Hamber for this great truck.
Its a 55 Chevy 5400 lcf, deluxe cab,big back window with a holmes wrecker on it. Quite the rare bird.Can't wait to get me grubby paws on it.

 

That thing is cool, Mad Cad! Starting a build thread soon?

 

Thats Bill Talk soon
There is more on my company facebook Fat57 customs

Yep I'll get a build thread going,first thing will be to get a running small block poked in the engine bay so its self propelled.Then sort the brakes out.

 

This green one went away to a new owner.I kept the late model frame.


Still have the red 56 lcf dump truck.

 

Grreat success! !
The more the merrier.

 

Very cool!!

Maybe we'll catch up for a chat down south again next year.
Bill reckons he'll be there too

 

Yep hope to be down ,,,we are taking the gasser ( the******* ) to kustom nats
