I found this today on the H**B and thought i'd share, i'd never seen the tandem axle fender before, pretty neat. The guy is looking at turning it into an enclosed hauler with a teardrop look to it while still using the original fenders, should be interesting. Also, was that a stock front bumper option on the COE's? It looks really slick and clean.

 

I wonder how much flex in that frame?

 

That front bar certainly aint stock, looks good tho. John

 

I hear its got a FWD from an el dorado.very neat tho

 

I like it. Interesting lines for a custom job. Overall profile is good too.

 

That was my next question, i figured it must be front wheel drive. Guess you answered the question for me Iwanna. I really like the way the cab has been tastefully stretched without kinda wrecking the overall lines, IF yoy can really say a COE actually has lines to start with? LOL John

 

i think the coes have very sexy lines.i like the 40s coes too

 

I agree, but i am just a little biased. I guess beauty is in the eye of the beholder LOL John

 

ibeauty is in the eye of the beerholder.Thats why I used to end up with ugly chicks and ugly cars

 

I am pleased you said USED to, but in the case of COEs even ugly chicks (trucks) need lovin too...... John

 

I wonder if that cab was stretched or could it maybe have been done way back when or maybe even by Ford. Anyone know? John

 

this is what the owner said on the coe thread:

"Wow, all these COEs sure gives someone something to shoot for. Here is mine, just got it running, came from Sou. Cal. Don't know a lot about it. Started years ago, and the man passed away, an got it from his widow. 48 Ford, extended 28 in. cab, 500 in. Cad, FWD, lots of good work, needs some TLC.
I was running out of projects anyway.LOL"

 

If anybody wants to create another one here's a '51 cab and dog house for sale on CL. He calls it a '52. Reasonable price. Stu

1952 Ford Cabover..project

 

that one was on the hamb classifieds and the guy barely bought it.this coe was in Illinois I assume it was rusty as hell

 

I've seen several COE car haulers that had an eldorado or toronado fwd sub frame with a beam rear axle and air bags. Makes a great towing set up, as the picture shows. LOVE the rear fenders.
