I looked at the 52 COE up close today. 90% solid cab. Only rust is right at the fender / door / cab / lower hinge area on both sides. They will have to be rebuilt.... come on sunday! this is killing me...[dr

 

[jfg455]

Talked to the owner of the 52 COE saturday. He was just super busy over the holidays, hasn't found the old owners phone number yet, so we are still in a holding pattern...It was -1* last night so that's ok for now....[P

*(Disclaimer - facts can change at a moments notice)*

Sooo... I just received the call today...
Me: "hello?"[P
Bob: "Hi, I'm the guy with the old truck. We talked a couple weeks ago..."
Me: "Oh yes. I remember. How's it going?" wiggle, twich, pinch myself...
Bob: " Well I've been busy. Work...(insert long winded New England conversation in which neither party appears excited)...and so the wife and I talked. We would like to sell you the truck."
Me: "Ok. Sounds good. I'll call you later today or tomorrow to see if you are home before I swing up with the money."
Bob: "Ok. I should be home after 5pm."
Me: "great. Talk to you later. Thanks again."
Bob: "No problem. Bye."...Click

Me: "Holy ****!! I gotta call my buddies!...No wait. Just 1 friend, can't jinx it, it isn't in my yard yet.." YEESS!![cl[cl[cl[cl (dances off stage left...)

Congratulations, JFG! COEs are definitely cool. My 55 Ford C600 build has been a lot of fun. I'm almost finished. My computer is in the shop so I haven't posted any pictures recently. Again, congrats, and good luck with your build.

My thoughts exactly! I always thought it would be cool to take one of those and mate some sort of top to it and make a Bronco.
