Looking for ideas for a non stock oval grill for a 40ish Ford COE. Seen anything worthy? Ideas?

 

Hello guys. I'm trying to build a 1953 C550 COE on a 2005 F-series frame with F550 4X4 dually axles. It's been a slow process but I'm slowly getting something done. The axles were originally under a Western Hauler so it had the air ride rear suspension. I've got a line on a 7.3 Powerstroke and 6 speed ZF transmission
.

 

Doesn't seem like this one went very far. Why???

 

I'll keep the thread going a bit. I own a 41 Ford COE. Bought it in NC last spring and had it shipped to AK. It's a driver and I'm not going for a show piece. Everything I'm doing to it is to make it fun and reliable to drive. Last fall the clutch ****tered so I pulled the engine and trans. Trans was rebuillt and both engine and trans got some fresh paint. I'm currently rewiring it as it was cobbled together to basically move it around the previous owners yard. Here are a few pics. Enjoy.



My three boys the day we got it home. All three of them have helped in the garage at one time or another with getting on the road for the summer.



My oldest helping m***age some metal on the doghouse.

 

Hey, Good to see a COE getting worked on.
Pretty cool the young fellow is helping you out too!

 

cwh, Great looking coe, I like all coes but the 1st generation fords are special...looks like you and your boys are having some fun...very nice truck. thanks for sharing your pics. Steffon

 

Couple more pictures of my project. I just got it back on the road. I got my second son in there with me putting on the finishing touches. The new tires are slightly larger. I really like the new higher ride height. I'm hoping that I'll get another few MPH out of the taller tires. I rewired the truck front to back and improved a few things. The truck starts and runs amazingly well with the new fuel pump. I had to go back to work for a few weeks but toward the end of the month I'll be getting a new exhaust system built for the old girl.
