Thanks guys,

You're up early too. You bet it will have A/C some day. I'm too old to be sweating when out driving my truck. I'm sure Vintage Air or one of the others make a nice system for it.

 

Guys, I would like to see more info on the 53 COEs. I need some parts and just want to see how they looked when they were new. Thanks, Ken.

 

i will see what i can dig up, Ken.

does it have a warranty plate tag anyplace on it? did you run the vin numbers by the numbers guy Bill... aka (Numberdummy)?

 

It has the serial number in the glove box. I haven't done anything with that yet.

 

seems info is hard to find for the cab over engine trucks.

did you post any questions in the 48-60 section?

 

Hello guys. It's been a while. I'm almost embarrassed that I'm not further done with me '53 COE. I have the injected 460 and E4OD sitting in the frame with the body sitting on top. Still trying to fit the engine as low as possible to keep the floor flat so I can run a bench seat so my 4 year old granddaughter can ride in the middle.


I'm going to try and figure out how to post pictures. Thanks, Ken.

Post in the 48- 56 section. Lots of good info there:

1948 - 1956 F1, F100 & Larger F-Series Trucks

 

Just posting some new pictures of my '53. Still a long way from finished, but slowly getting there.

 

Tax time last year. Bought six, 265/70R19.5 tires and pushed it out of the garage for some pictures. That's not me. That's my brother Bill (He's about 5'10' tall).

 

Very nice!

 

Thanks, it's been a slow journey.
