My new COE purchases
Just got my new trucks home. Planning to put the 55 cab on a E350 chassis. Hopefully I can get the 56 started since it's a complete truck.

How well do those COE cabs fit on a E350 chassis? or a P30? I haven't seen anybody do a build thread on that combo, so please keep us updated. I'm looking for a 56 COE cab to do a build.

Nice finds! The 56 kind of looks like it might have been on fire, once upon a time. The front half looks a little crispy.

craftsmangary It seems like this swap works fairly well and I have read were others have done it.

52 Merc that is rust. I have seen no evidence so far that this truck has been on fire in fact the truck is complete. First step is to see if I can get this motor to turn over and see if it will start.
