COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

all vans from dodge chev ford 1961 to 2012, are,,,coe's.
jeep had a nice one in 1960, i had one, and the engine block was visible from the back view. they make awesome rods...

 

Being a Chevrolet COE, that Chevy All Star Show Truck would have had an accessory air-pack, air over hydraulic setup on it. Full air brakes weren't available from the Factory on Chevrolet trucks until 1956.

 

You're referring to the Jeep FC150 and FC 170 I****ume, I have the body off of one I want to get rid of.

Here is a COE that my body guy drives....

 

This is just plain COOL!

 

I think COE's are awesome and I have been trying to find a 51-52 Ford on the east coast for a long time but have not had any luck. However I did find a 52 F-8 Big Job..Very close to me.....It Used to be an old fire truck but was turned into a manure spreader.

It has been sitting for a while but it is all there....5 star cab...which is a bonus. It has the OHV Lincoln motor in it....you know the deal...it was running when we parked it right there....

Old timer want $2000.00 for it...All I want is the sheet metal and the engine...I could prolly get most of the money back after I scrap the frame and the spreader ( i have no idea how much it weighs but I am sure it is heavy as hell)

Any body ever put an F-8 on a late model chassis? Sound like a fair price?
Check out the pictures...Let me know what you think.

 

The only issue is frame width, measure the frame at the front and rear of the cab and then start measuring your newer frames, on the smaller trucks I noticed that the 73-86 Chev truck chassis fits like a glove on GM, Ford and Dodge applications. I've done a few chassis swaps onto that style of frame and had no issues. Another issue you might find the front wheel wells are way to big unless you use a large wheel and tire combo like a 19.5 (this truck currently has 20 inch)

 

The spreader on that truck is used for chemical fertilizer........that stuff eats metal fast. You can see rust bleeding out of every body seam.....I would look it over very carefully.
Also the fenders are much wider than the smaller trucks. It does have some good parts on it though....

 

Thanks for the info...Do you think the F8 is wider than a COE? If so how much wider?

 

F-8 and COE look about the same width to me. Definitely wider than the F1-6. Here is a pic of my COE cab setting on an '89 chevy chassis.....note how far in the fenders the wheels are.

 

Nikolaus's COE (TOY)

 

Back in about 2005, I missed getting this truck by maybe an hour. It sold to a dealer for a scary low price of $4500, and then got resold to someone else in a few weeks. The builder was an older fellow in the Boise, Idaho, area, and was quite proud of his handiwork. It had a 460 & C6 in it, and could have been driven anywhere. Very nice truck .... and something I am wondering if is still around anywhere?? Sure would be interested in finding the truck again.

Thanks in advance for any clues.

That looks perfect....please don't paint it!!! Is that a stock frame or has it been lowered some? I think you are right about the width...Can you measure the front end for me...I am curious to know if it is the same as the F8. Thanks and good luck with your coe! What engine combo you going to use?

 

heres mine just found it in a field and bought it a few weeks ago

 

Hey dsweeney, post more picss of your truck.....looks awesome!

 

I have always wanted a 52 coe just havent got there yet. But hears a drawing I did of one . I hope you like it....I saw this one in a junk yard

 

Thats some nice work right there!

 

Thank You. I draw out of love for old cars. I use it for my charity by selling prints of my work and giving the proceds to older folks in need around my local comunity. my way to give back something ...

 

john mullen, Nice art work !!!

dsweeney, That truck looks awesome, like b-bop say's, we need to see more pics of it please.

 

No I am not going to paint it........currently making an extended cab. I have a build thread on the COE social group.

I measured the front fenders......82" wide at the center of the wheel opening. Hope that helps.

 

GREAT Art work John. Thanks for sharing.

 

ill get some more soon. just found out this truck has been around awhile and has won tons of awards. found the trailer that it used to tow and all the awards are in it trying to buy it right now. found out a guy bought it the truck and trailer about four years ago and parked in a field and never drove it and the weather has taken a toll on the paint. so im in the process of fixing some body work and gonna repaint it should make a good hauler

 

heres a pic in its day

 

its got a custom 2x6 frame caddy rear end, pacer subframe, 512in caddy turbo 400, hydralic tilt cab, sectioned 6in its fast and fun to drive. i think i scored to find this iv been lookin for awhile to find one to build and i found one done and origanl havent seen onn like it

 

Wow, I wonder why they would just park it to rot like that? It looks pretty decent.

I hope you burn that bra though, I will never understand why people put those on nice vehicles...
