IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
 

A new project that I got.It started out as a tilt cab.When I worked at N.A.V.L. I hated these trucks now I'm building one. Here is The new chassis. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...%20coe/004.jpg Some of you may recognize this.Yes it's Alfy's cab. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...%20coe/014.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...%20coe/017.jpgI needed a trailer so I started out with a tanker.It has a light kit and motorized landing gear.I would like to build a moving van trailer when the truck is complete. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...%20coe/008.jpg http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...%20coe/012.jpg

You had me hooked with the first pic of the chassis. I love COE's

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
 

nice build don't usually see those set back axle coe running with a tanker they are usually hauling a j.b.hunt or schneider transport

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
 

Thanks. I'm gonna take my time with this one make sure it's right.
Thanks. Wish more people would build COE's. They are awesome trucks.
Thanks. In the earlier posts I said I was going to build a moving van trailer for it. The tanker is for another build I have going that's not posted.But back in the day those trucks hauled the trailers in all our divisions. HVP ,household, CT,car carriers , flatbed and even tankers. But you are correct now days I only see these hauling corn at harvest time sitting on farms.

I'll be watching this one, waiting to see it come together. I used to see a ton of these trucks, growing up, but they were all J.B. Hunt, Roehl or Schneider fleet trucks. Not to many of these around anymore.

I need to find some RC4WD rims for the trailer now. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...0coe/001-1.jpg I'm running the RC4WD low profile tires on the trailer. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...0coe/002-1.jpg I went and picked up some metal for the trailer today.Heres what I have done top deck,main deck and suspension.Here are a few pics.

Sweet! Nice rig.Thats gonna be a real nice build,can't wait to see it.That trailer is nice are you going to scratch build that to?Been thinking about the rear liftgate,trying out a few things.

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
 

ya been thinking long and hard about the double drop frame trailer for a bit now. just a matter of time i guess. lol. as soon as the tractor is done, and my rat rig are done, i will get to work on it.

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
 

The set back axle looks great, you did a great job...

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
 

I've had this build on the back burner for awhile.Time to get some progress done on it. Picked up a box trailer rather then scratch building. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...0coe/015-1.jpg Gonna tear it down and paint it the blue and white NAVL colors. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...0coe/017-1.jpg Got some RC4WD steel wheels for it. http://i1262.photobucket.com/albums/...0coe/016-1.jpg

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
