The white ones on the top left are in great shape. Those cover plates go on the bottom door hinges to cover the bolts on the door. They are hard to find in good shape.
Having never seen a Coe rear cab mount in person I have to suspect these are COE specific.
as well as the COE/Big Job grab handles and the COE specific hook locking latches.
Some door hinges and a couple different hood hinges.
I haven't inspected the hood hinges on the C600 to see if they are the same as the Regular trucks but I would assume they are the same ??
The truck overall is in good shape. Hell this cab is better than the cab I started with for my Crew Cab Project.
At some point in the trucks life somebody repaired the floors with some new sheet metal.
Their repair looks good. I will need to repair and grind down some areas. But overall its not Swiss cheese.
The drain for the Fuel tank is rotten... and will need to be removed.
The rockers on both sides will need some attention.
As well as both door bottoms.
I did get another pair of COE doors, original 56 hood with the C600 emblems, and another upper fender/valence/splash shield/radiator horn assy. But it started raining so I had to wrap it up for today.
The Major thing that is missing is the Steps!!!! Of all the stuff that came with the truck the stupid steps are missing.
Very nice pile of parts! That's the way I like to buy them already apart. The top set of window regulators are earlier than the 53-55 look to be 48-52 style to me. Lots of great parts. The hood hinges for a COE are COE specific
Here I is! I have been looking for steps for a long time, with no success. I was going to buy another C600 just for a good set of steps, but then I'd be stuck with a parts vehicle minus the steps.
The steps were the first thing to go on these, because of their close proximity to wet farm ground and constant use.
Finally, Terry of Terry's F100s was persuaded by my constant nagging to make the complete set assembly, with the skirt, out of fiberglass, to stop my whining. As of last week, he had made the molds, and the first set will be ready in the next to weeks. You might want to contact him and let him know you are interested. Terry's F-100 Parts Stromsburg, NE 68666 . Terry is a straight shooter and a great guy.
I have mounted my '56 C600 on a 2003 E350 chassis, and will be final welding in the next few weeks.

Good luck n your project.

Mark,
thanks for the photo's
Do you have a build thread going? I would love to check it out.
I will have to look into the fiberglass ones if I cannot find any steel ones.
When I picked up the truck the owner told me he had another truck in the yard, and that if it had the steps I could take those.
I made another trip to the yard on Sunday. Well after spending an hour wondering around the yard I finally found the 2nd truck.
I was happy to see the second, but very disappointed to find that there were no steps.
The second truck did show me what else my truck is missing.
So besides the steps... I am also missing the cab step/battery tray/fender support crossmember.
The second truck he had was pretty bad. And of course this crossmember was trashed.
It also turns out I am missing the inner fenders..... didn't even think about those things.... The crusty truck did have a nice set of inner fenders that I will be going back for when it cools down a bit.
I will also grab the one rear cab step bracket that was still on the truck .
Seeing that I am in the planning / parts gathering phase of my project.....
Chassis options are on my mind.
The ford van chassis seems to be the most used option.
Either the E250/350 SRW or E350/450 DRW , cube, cutaway, or step.
460 gas or 7.3L diesel.
Then comes the Freightliner step van chassis. This chassis can be had with an Allison automatic transmission and a cummins diesel.
And my third Option is the F450/F550 Ford Truck chassis with a 7.3L diesel.
My only issue with the most popular E series option is the Wheels. Being a Truck equipment parts guy I see a lot of the vans. The wheels stick out like a soar thumb as being an E series chassis. The E series chassis comes with 16", 8 lug, 8 round hand hole wheels.
I would prefer to run 19.5, 10 lug wheels from something like a F450/550.
Now the freightliner mt-35 chassis comes with 19.5 6 lug wheels.
The Freightliner and Superduty F450/550 Chassis fetch the most money.
The van chassis is certainly cheaper and more readily available. But the wheel choices are bothering me.
