These make great projects, All kinds of things one can make a COE into. And a bit of a following for these that is growing. Buy it.

I like coe pickup trucks..... coe heavy duty trucks? Not so much. I'm just not crazy about any vehicle I need a ladder to get into.

Oh, man. There's a thread that I've read over on the HAMB about a COE that a dude put on the frame (and Cummins) from a GMC delivery van. Its such a cool project.

I brought the Naked GoldWing to work one day, showed it off to some biker coworkers at lunch. One guy just crossed his arms, smiled, did one lap around it, "It must be scary inside that head o' yours."

How can I argue....

OK, now THAT answers all those posts asking "What does it mean to be Grassroots?" I gotta get more involved with you guys. At least then I'll have some company in the asylum.... Oh, and on the COE...DO EET!

I'm glad I'm not the only one looking at old trucks to drag home. I keep seeing Ford C-cabs with short flatbeds for a couple grand.

That OP pic would make a great rig for towing my dad's old '38 Ford around to far away car shows.

Back in the stone age when I was circle tracking, we built our car hauler out of a F-600. Sold the box to a neighbor for a shed and went to town. It did the job well, but wasn't a fun or comfortable ride.

This 1957 Chevy Low Cabover truck is sitting in my dad's heated garage right now. It lived a hard life as a farm truck, so the cab is kinda rusty, but it has a 265 V8, so it's screaming for a swap.

I'd like to find a rust-free cab for it, then figure out what to do with the bed.

In our world, I agree; but sometimes I have to deal with people from outside the fence.
