COE COE Picture thread (imported from main board)

(you might have quoted the wrong guy so I thought I'd repost the photos because that truck is so nice)

 

I did, as usual I had a brain fart

 

It happens to everyone, at least it wasn't brain diarrhea...

 

I have my 52 Ford COE almost ready for paint job. The Gl*** men have installed new gl*** in the windows,front,rear and vent wings. More pics are available in my album in HAMB statistics.

 

I heard that

 

Being a die-hard Dodge man for most of my life, I hate to admit it.

I really really like that truck. You've done a fine job sir, workmanship is there as well as looks.

 

Great job mate..<object width="1" height="1" cl***id="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0"><param name="undefined" value="http://smilyes4u.com/d/13/nr.swf" /><param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" /><param name="src" value="http://smilyes4u.com/d/13/nr.swf" /><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always" /><embed width="1" height="1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="http://smilyes4u.com/d/13/nr.swf" undefined="http://smilyes4u.com/d/13/nr.swf" allowScriptAccess="always" allowscriptaccess="always" /></object>

 

Last weekend at Mopars in the Park - Farmington, MN

 

that mopar is awesome

 

Being a die-hard Dodge man can you imagine a quality build like this on a mid 50's Dodge COE?

 

I have, many times.

 

Anymore pictures of this one? I was there last year, but do not remeber seeing this one. Looks like a for sale sign in the right windsheild.

Thanks,

Robert

 

Thanks for the kind words. I am a die hard Chevy guy but I have been looking at a couple mid 50's Dodge coe trucks because they have great lines and you never see them. Of course it would be chevy powered and it would be a crew cab project. I just got to convince the wife it a good idea....have to get my 59 NAPCO truck done first.

 

I'm planning on installing a Vintage Holmes Wrecker on my '52 GMC 470 series COE, & wanted the push bumper treatment that alot of Dealerships would do to their Wreckers back in the day. I
added a extra factory bumper today to the exsisting factory bumper. How do you guys think it looks?

 

Looks good . I have a 1 ton parts truck here that used 3 pickup chrome bumpers with rubber strips stacked like that, looked kinda cool.

 

Looks good!
I dig the stacked bumper thing on old tow trucks.

 

Love the look. Going to look like a nice old tow truck with the wrecker on. Nice .

 

Layland owns DAF in 1987. They trade as Leyland-DAF in the UK, and just DAF elsewhere. DAF is actually quite large in the trucking business.

 

I've taken the flatdeck off my truck and built a box. long and low is how i roll.

 

I saw this one a few times at the monthly swap meet at the Glendale Community College in AZ. For not knowing any better, I sent pics to my father, telling him I saw "a cool old Ford Anglia". I don't recall how I came to that brilliant deduction, but I found out better. I recall the owner's name was Scott, and he put it up on Craigslist about a year ago for $50K, I think.

 

I may be mistaken but the rig on this one looks much like those on the
M-32 Recovery vehicle built on a Sherman Tank Ch***is in WW-II. Definately for heavy lifts!

You can see the Holmes model w35 Wrecker, I plan to install, next to the COE, in this photo,

I think those big wheels look great on your truck!

 

Love the new wheels and tires! Looks great.

That is a pretty cool lift, IIRC the person that posted this originally might have said it was a telephone pole installation truck? (but I'm not totally sure)

That is such a great photo!

 

i would LOVE to build a coe with a 12 valve ***mins for a tow rig/ parts hauler

 

Now correct me if I am wrong but DAF is a Dutch Company that purchased British Leyland Truck division ?

The 6BT is a great engine I have one in my F4.

 

COE's are awsome, cool thread!

 

Yuk!!
