Hello everybody, I'm sort of new here on the FTE forum, hoping to get and perhaps give some info on our trucks.

Bought a 1948 Ford F6 coetruck with only 3000 mils on it. So you good say it's as good as new. Truck comes from the Belgium army (I am living in the Netherlands europe) and is almost never used.

It's a 6 cyl 4x4 but wanne make it a V8 aut dually 2 wheeldrive. Have a lot of plans with it as most of us so this will be a nice winter project.

coeboy

 

That is an amazing find! If it is a M&H 4X4 it could be worth a small fortune. Are there any placards in the cab regarding operation of the 4X4?

Oh, and welcome aboard!

 

If it's as original as you say please don't cut it up or change it.

Find something that's been beat up or worked on before for that, something with the mileage you list and the condition you say it is should just be freshened up and left as a survivor.

It seems awkward, but whenever you "insert a picture" to one of these threads, the forum is looking for the picture somewhere on the web (which is always available) rather than from somewhere on your hard drive (which isn't always available).

Go to Image hosting, free photo sharing & video sharing at Photobucket and sign up for a free account. Then create an album for your truck. Upload any pics you want to post on FTE to that album. Have this album open on your computer when you want to post pics on FTE.

While you're making a post on FTE, select the pic you want to post from your Photobucket album. When the large version of the pic is open, right mouse click on it and select "View Image Info". The image info will be highlighted and will look something like this:
http://i285.photobucket.com/albums/l...ghtsafter1.jpg

Copy that highlighted info (right click / copy).

When you have the spot in your post where you want the pic to be placed, select the "Insert Image" icon at the top of the post (looks like a mountain) and paste (right click / paste) the image info you copied in the highlighted box (just shows "http://" when it opens).

Your pic will be placed in the post.

Hope that helps.

Here's a tutorial Bob put together: https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/67...-pictures.html

 

Wow, probably a M-H COE. It's your truck to do as you wish, but it's a shame to cut it up. Welcome to the forum, and please keep us posted. Stu

 

Show us some pics please!

 

Tell us more please. Ya got us all excited beyond beleaf. (sp)
and Pic.s for sure

 

OK I will post some more pics when I have the truck.
Bought it three weeks ago and have barely seen it. Hopefully
wil have the truck in the garage in about an other two or three weeks.
For what I know the ex belgium army truck is a Marmon-Herrington conversion.
This truck has been living almost his whole live in a depot and has barely driven. I would like to make a lowered v8 aut truck of it but from what you guys tell me I probably would think twice of doing this

 

Lets just say that there are them that would build you the truck you want and then trade for this one. (If) it is as you say it is.

I don't know how I am going to wait weeks to see pic's of her.

Is the pic in your Avatar the only one you have right now?

And where is the closest International Airport to you?
I want to price a ticket.

 

Welcome!! What a monster! Nice find.

 

It's common to export old American iron, but this one deserves to be imported back.

 

Thanks for the second pic coeboy. It's gonna be great when ya get her out in the light and cleaned up. Would be a real kick to drive it around for a time just like that I would think. Than sell it as is and that should give ya enough for a good start on the one of your dreams and it would be almost paid for. That's what I'm thinkin anyway.

 

Looks awesome! can't wait to see more pix!!!
Here is a picture of mine dropped down. not that I think you should do it to that truck either.

 

Good looking truck 383lightning. I like the low stance but have to decide what to put behind the cab.
Hauler. flatbed, pickup bed???
Well first the truck in the garage and then we will see.

btw thanks for the nice comment all>

 

Dude, that thing is badass!

Motorcycle hauler for sure!! and definitely leave it 4wd!
