Planning winter projects

I am almost to the time of year where all my outside work comes to a slow crawl and my inside smaller jobs get me thru the winter. I noticed i dont have a Coe heater to rebuild and it doesnt look like the F1 bolt up. If someone has a pic then i will know what im looking for. Im buying a new welder so I anticipate lots of metal repairs and new brackets being made.

Just a side note, Both of my sons got new jobs as a result of working on these trucks. Oldest is a tig welder and the youngest is going to work operating a Hyd. brake and metal forming equipment. My mission was a success. That's the power of our old trucks.
