COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

It’s been 12 years since I started this journey way to long but now it’s home still have to do interior

 

Ride tech 4 link air all around

 

wow!! Looks fantastic!! Very nice work... What's on the deck surface? Just white paint?

 

Looks a lot like someone's Autocar to my untrained eye...

No where near as cute as an Autocar! Those IHs had a tiny cab, bet that is why it is for sale. Post WWII, my dad drove one and said if 2 people were going somewhere in one, they had better be very good friends.

 

Had them paint it but going to line x it

 

so far so good with my paint color matched sprayin bedliner... although the color match could be a little better, it's acceptable...

 

This place is pretty dead lately.........
Post up some pics of your COE!
Taken this morning........

 

Looks like the arctic there. 54 degrees here in Howell today. Hope your snow melts soon. Sold my chassis to a fellow builder in Chicago, no scrapping allowed here. Sold the spare fenders to a local collector//builder in Michigan .
Hope to see 2 more coe’s on the road soon..
Regards, Mark

 

My 42 is resting maybe not so comfortable. My 51, I am trying to make a bed for it.

 

Took Buford to Florida..... Sort of.... My niece gave me this towel for Christmas....

 

This will be getting a heart transplant this spring. The 350 is getting replaced with a new 502 HO GM crate motor. Should be much better for towing with 461 HP @5100 and 558 LB/FT @3400.

 

Awesome, keep em coming! Projects too!

 

My buddies project that is for sale.

 

My wife and daughter have been down in Kalispell for 3 days Scott, GDP should have jumped a couple points. Nothin’ dramatic happening on the lumber wagon lately. Here is one from the files.

 

I just can't get over how solid these trucks can be when not in New England....

speaking of that.... We were detoured off I75 in Florida last week (as in ROAD CLOSED due to an accident. Some knucklehead with a load too tall hit an overpass)... But I digress... On some rural road in FL, I spot a 41-47 Ford COE wrecker!!!! Sadly we were not in a convenient place to turn around towing the boat so no pics, sorry guys...

 

However.... Here's a pic a buddy sent me from some random FB page...

 

I think that is phtoshopped.

 

Kudos on your interwebz searching skills... I can't even begin to think of how you found a pic of the original car...

 

Skills.
I was a volunteer researcher/archivistist at the Crawford Auto Aviation Museum in Cleveland, Ohio.

 

Probably could haul your COE in this COE! https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/480191570740879/

 

Pretty cool truck. The modern bed ain't doing it for me, sorry...

Add says the fenders have been widened, in reality they have been narrowed about 4" each.
several years back, there was a guy at Frog Follies selling several of these that had been set on Isuzu NPR chassis'. I like the wider fenders
Here is an unaltered one.

 

update photos

 

Getting ready to replace the current 350 with a 502 HO crate motor. That'll give it a bit more towing power.

 

That was great ! Too funny

 

I saw this one at Back to the Fifties a few weeks ago. If given the opportunity, I'd find room in the garage for it!
