Default Re: 53 Ford COE

Then the times changed. I wanted to run the truck, but being on a reduced payscale because of the economy, I could do one of two things:
1) shelf it until the times turned around
2) sell everything but the cab and start in a new direction

I have always been a hot rod fan over everything else, so I chose door #2. The COE was renamed "the shop truck build".

New frame


new attitude




3/8" chop




The pickup bed




new color choice





tail lights

the start















Finally running


The green was to subtle for a hot rod, so something had to give.



interior pieces
