We are of like mind, I have always lusted for a COE and also love panel trucks, why not combine the two? I never did see one that looked quite right though. Some of the crew cabs with suicide doors are cool. By the time you graft a COE onto a regular panel most look like some caricature of a cartoon vehicle. Then I saw the solution. A 1946 COE bus, not a short bus but back then the regular buses were not that long. Trouble is, it was a Chevy, but it gave me the idea. Proportionally it would be just the right size (IMHO).
I could not get the direct link to work but here is the site, click on the 1946 COE Chevy.

Finding a similar Ford 1946-47) would be next to impossible, making one out of two (COE and stock bus) very difficult; plus to make it look perfect it ought to be chopped just a couple of inches.
Lets see if my lottery numbers match anything.

Thats cool but the bus makes me think of the Jeepers Creepers van just more room to put the bodies. BTW they made parts of the movie here in Eustis some friends of mine had to transport the stunt man to the hospital for a injury.
