COE interest need information

OK here it is. I have a dream of a COE van/panel and its all 4tl8ofrd's fault making me look at the 1/25th scale models.

Now you see the delima it is a must build but in a ford. Well now I have some questions. What exactly makes a cab over engine cab different other than possible reliefs in the doors for the wheels? I have a spare 58 cab and plan on doing something interesting if unable to get a real coe. I understand I will also need a panel rear to complete the idea but this is just a dream at this time. Here is another pick I found and gives the general idea. These are hard to find pics of.

This is the general dream it has no direction yet and is just a thought. If possible I would love to get pics loaded on this thread so someone else can take my dream and run with it or assist me with mine. By the way if anyone wants to donate a cab to the cause please let me know through a pm I have no money just limited time. As if anyone has either.
Thanks 4tl8ford you have created a monster if I start this project

feast your eyes here:
in pages for slower connection: http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/s...picture+thread

all in one page for fast connection: can we start a COE picture thread? - THE H.A.M.B.

the primary difference of the cab/doors is that radiused door for front fender on the cabovers.

1949-50 Ford F-3 and F-5 Parcel Delivery vehicles featured a Vanette-sourced body which incorporated the front-end Ford introduced in 1948.

I believe these are the vanette type not exactly what I am looking for but they do help. I kinda like the nose on the pre 57 COE's like the two 48's above the green and orange ones

You have to remember that starting in '57 Ford switched COE cabs to the style that was used unchanged until 1990 so the cab from a '57 COE and newer truck is entirely different the conventional truck cab.



You could go with cab from a stub nose truck, it has basically the same cab as the conventional cab but with higher front sheet metal.

48fordcoe That just makes me think I was born in the wrong time period which I was and yes I will take all of them including the trailer.

WALFORD'S 56 I can't at this time but I will be that way in May/June and will touch base with you then to see if they are still there.

I would put a picture of my 48 COE on here, but it says I can't post attachments for some reason.
