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

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.

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.
