Rumor has it that there is a '53 or '54 C800 Big Job Cabover for sale somewhere in Oregon. Can anyone provide some info on this truck??
I would be interested in it if it is complete, and not a complete rust bucket.
Thanks in advance.
Ok guys, I posted it. I believe vintage56 pm'd me with the "Saving the COE." Love the title. It's near Sweethome Oregon. The current owners a chevy freak [yuk]. He wants it gone or it'll be cut and made into yard art (whata jerk) thinks he's doing the world a favor by cutting up a Ford.
WMjoe1953 (Joseph) helped me find a 49 F2 this spring. He helped out in many ways he did not have to. I ended up purchasing it without ever seeing the truck in person (Joseph did send a bunch of pictures for me). The truck made it to Texas over the Memorial day weekend and I could not be happier with what I got.
He really is trying to save these trucks from being cut up and crushed and asks for nothing in return. Great guy.
Down the interstate 35 miles near Medford (OR) is a junk yard with a nice '53 or '54, can't remember without looking at it. Don't remember what size, but the owner said it has a rebuilt 317". Don't know if it was rebuilt, but the engine sure was painted pretty.
I've got more photos of the truck in Sweet Home, Oregon coming pretty soon. Thanks Tex for the good remarks. Just trying to do the world a favor by saving another old Ford from clutches of non Ford lovin evil doers. Save a Ford from the past and the future will be a wonderful place to live.
