Tonight I found a 38/39 COE. Does anyone have pics of these? I know the "badge" on the sides are different on the two and I think its a '38. But if I could see pics that would help. Thanks

Here's a pic of a '38 from the 1938 Dealer's Handbook. Can't help on the '39. Stu

Yep, thats the one. The small badge on the side of the cab on the '39 is different. Thanks for the help. I think i'm going to save this one. It looks in pretty decent shape. Has both doors, nice grill and dash. I've always wanted one. Plus its free.

Yes, it's one of my favorites too. I had ideas of buying a '38 M-H a while back but succeeded in talking myself out of it. Good luck with yours. You sure can't beat the price. Stu

Okay I have another question. The tops of the doors have some rust through. I know where there is a 38 ford 1 1/2 ton. Are the upper sections of the doors the same shape and can I cut the doors horizontally and replace the uppers with the good doors. If anyone knows, please let me know.
