1953 Ford COE Cab Over Engine C 600 truck

Description for Ford Other 1953

1953 Ford COE Cabover engine. C600. 2 ton truck.

This awesome rare oldbeast runs well, rives good, nd stops great. It has lived most of its life in southern Indiana, /font>

occasionally hauling corn.

Most of the time it's beensheltered in a pole barn. It's a very solid truck with only a few little rust thru holes,

which could be fixed easily. It's got a very nice, toutframe.

This COE rumbles down the road with no problem. People stop and stare, nd thensmile and wave with appreciation as I drive by !

* The engine is a 232 ci inline 6 cylinder (OHV) of about 1963 vintage. I believe it is out of a Ford truck.

* New fuel pump, lugs, ap, otor,rebuilt Holley carb.

* The entire brake system has been redone : new master cylinder, ooster, ll brake lines, ittings,

wheel cylinders( 2 per wheel ),shoes and drums scuffed and cleaned. This truck stops extremely well, specially considering its mass.

* New wheel studs and lugs onrear wheels. All wheels have been sanded down to bare metal and given a couple of good thick coats

of silver rustoleum.

* The 4 speed manual shifts well, nd so does the electrically shifted rear axle, iving it 8 forward gears.

* The tires are 8.25 x 20 inchers, nd should probably be replaced.

* New back glass and rubber seal, ew drivers side glass.

* The grille is the rare deluxe version with " teeth ", nd has been redone.

* Hood has been redone. ( acid dipped down to bare metal. see pic. )

* Trim is all original. *Lights work.

* The bed is some heavy duty wood. It's solid. The grainsides are in pretty good shape,

and can, ithout much trouble, e removed. The 3 chutes in the back still operate, /font>

and are removable. The wood, hough, eeds to be replaced.

* The framewor, you see on top of the sides, nbsp;I built to support 4x8 sheets and tarps, hat I would loose

install during the winter to keep the snow out.

*After the sides have been removed, ou've got yourself a flat bed hauler !

* This is what I had in mind---hauling my son's 53 Ford F-100 street rod pick-up to shows, n the back of this COE.

* Well unfortunately, e had to sell it.... Things change. So, ow this very cool truckis up for bid.

* The possibilities are endless. You don't see many of these in this condition, just waiting to be finished, r

transformed into your dream truck ! Go for it !!
