That's very nicely done, although the pinstripes on the front don't do it for me. Price seems very reasonable. The front fenders look too small to me? Could they be F-100 fiberglass?

Looks like it was built on the stock suspension.

needs to be lowered and the bed needs to be raised so it reaches the cab better.

But hey, that's just my opinion and im sure everyone else has theirs too.

Never cared much for COE's made into pickups.......just look all wrong to me. They lose their Big Truck appeal. But that is just my opinion.

I would say the front fenders are correct for the cab and rears correct for the box. Maybe the wheel well opening could have been enlarged on the rears a bit. I like the pin striping, it suits the paint job.

I like it but looks like a bone jarring ride as is.

Agreed, I think all the early COE would be.

Still want a COE but not very practical, probably can't make it comfortable and defiantly not economic to drive.

As for the comment about the bone jarrring ride, my 116" wheelbase '53 C750 rides far better than my '53 F350. Why, I dont know!
