1948 Ford coe cab

just gotten this in its a '48 ford coe cab,from rmrresin in the USA,

Wow what a ripper truck that will be. What other parts will you use and from which kit/s?

tezza43,it look's like it was molded after the 50 ford pickup the one that's just just came out again,u could build it as a coe pickup,but I will be building it as a prime mover with single diff under it,with a flathead engine,going to build up my own chassis for it,would look good as a cab chassis with ramp on the back of it.the 48,49,50 coe 's look the same.got to find a 1/25 scale ruler.

here what me hope to build it up as,

Looks like a great project, nice castings too.

just picked up set of resin truck wheels for it.have to look in my parts box for flathead engine.

have picked up a set of resin truck wheel's also borrowed a book on ford truck's for the the coe truck's had a 110 inch wheel base.now to find a 1/25 scale ruler.

Can't wait to see this one finish allan, I've always wanted to do the '56 model COE Ford as a bogie drive with a modern sleeper & motor maybe a Detroit V6 under it but never able to get enough dosh together oh well maybe 2010 will be the year it happens for me hey allan.

Dingo
and Proud of it.

Here is a chassis that I am thinking of using,Dingo I waited untill our dollar went up to buy the cabs,they cost me more then I would of like,wont be buying anymore from the USA.

have change my mind about using this chassis on this one as its to light for what I plaining on building will be making my own one.

Oh here is the web site were I got the coe from www.freewebs.com/rmrresin there is also car body's there too.

found chassis for this one its from the little dodge coe,got to work on the front end,here is cab sitting on it.

going with these wheels,

Looking great Al, would look awesome as a ramp track with a FED on the back!

thanks checkmate did think of that but she is going to be a small primer mover.

Cool!

thanks Kane,got to put flat head motor in it.

You got a flathead Al or do you need one? That links got a heap of cool stuff on it, plenty of things to add to the wish list!

Ya checkmate got a flathead of it out of my parts box,may put supercharge on it to give it a bit more grunt.

G,day , i recon that the old AMT car carrier trailer would suit it down to the ground mate . It's lookin real sharp mate , we better see it at tumut next year mate and i'll shout ya a COKE !

funny u say that scummy have got a car carrier that I have to rebuild,don't know if I get to tumut next year would like to go back there again.was think of building up a tanker for it.

I'll send you some Ardun heads if you want? Go the car carrier route Al, it'd suit it down to the ground.

Thanks for the offer one the heads checkmate going with stock one no chrome,have cut gearbox off flat head engine and put truck gearbox from the little dodge on,still thinking on colour for coe.

Looking good

Thinking of putting this tray on the back of the 48 coe,
