Re: '41 Ford COE questions
These trucks tend to get around...
Before I bought my COE, it started out as a coal truck in Massachusetts, then spent time in Michigan, Wisconsin, and Nebraska. There may have been other places I don't know about. I was in Texas when I bought it...I then moved to Arkansas, Hawaii (but the truck moved back to Texas while I was in Hawaii), Illinois, and now Kansas. Moving is pretty standard if you're in the service. So the truck has been trailered, shipped, or stored a bunch of times. On the other hand, I've only driven it 800 miles in 15 years! I don't care to speculate on how much I spent moving it - but it was worth it and more importantly my wife doesn't mind. |

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Hello,
my Name is Ingo, i own a 47 Ford COE. Do you have an idea where to get a Windshieldframe Rubberseal? It seems there are no originals and no Aftermarket for this Truck on the market, but maybe you know which Rubberseals may fit? .... fron any other vehicle perhaps? Thanks for your help best Ingo

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
Haven’t posted in a while. All my kids are grown up so dad gets to work on his toys. Still trying to find somebody to get my paint and body done but I’ve been tinkering with the running gear. Runs a Dana 60 in front and an Eaton H072 in the rear now. NP205 tcase behind the factory flathead and 4 speed trans.

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
What an awesome truck.
Finding a good quality painter seems to be getting harder, at least for me it has. I hope you can find someone to do all the prep work which makes the paint job look good. It's a lot more work than I ever imagined. |

Re: '41 Ford COE questions
They’re out there but in short supply so they’re busy. I have a friend that owns a body shop and does amazing work but I have a hard and fast rule, I never do business with friends or family.
