They do actually! I was just being my usual smart *$$ self

Cheers

Unbolting the front clip on a COE is just like unbolting one on a regular truck. You just have to find all of the nuts and bolts. I've done this with just hand tools on the side of a street when I had to pick up a 51 COE body in the Los Angeles area. It wasn't easy, but I did it. I even took the cab off without any power tools.

The first pictures are 2 potential donors.

just cleaning.
I had to be careful not to sand the lettering that was covered by the thick red primer.
Does anyone know if they painted the inside the cab with red oxide primer from factory or dealer???or was it the cheapest primer/paint back then???
my f1 and the coe are white under all the red primer and I believe they were made in the same factory in Long beach???

do you have places where its peeling off.I have the same off white under everything and when I try painting over the white the paint doesnt stick or it bubbles.Its just weird that both trucks have it.
Yours looks like the color on my coe and the interior on my f1 lexcoe

Nothing under mine except bare still on the inside and of course the factory primer n stuff outside. Maybe yours was white to begin with and was painted Vermillion later in its life.
