I want a old "Cab Over" truck to restore . I would really like to find a 4 door cab ,but am willing to look at anything . It will be customized so I only need the Cab to make it work .
Something in the 30's, 40's over 50's . Ford ,Chevy and International all made the 4 doors .
Finders fee if I buy it .!!!!:clap::clap:

Gee Al,

If you had wanted one say, 25 years ago, it wouldn't be much of a problem. But with $300+/ton iron prices, lots of stuff like this is being cut, or has been. Not saying they aren't one or two out there yet, but not many I am sure. It has been years since the utilities used those older 4 doors.

I understand your wanting one though. Good luck, and will keep my eyes open. A two door would be much easier, but still hard to find.

I am trying to decide if I want to restore a 1935 Dodge truck of my grandfathers. Lots of work.....

Regards, Kirk

Al are you looking for something like this one ?? I think what you are looking for is in this pic. Look at the rear corner of the pan & you'll see a COE. This fellow has oodles of old cars & trucks for sale. I'll dig out a few more of what you want & post here....

Al I doubt you'll have much luck finding a true 4door CO thats even worth restoring. Your best bet is to find a decent single cab CO, and a donor cab of the same year and model to make the rear cab section. That is all the factory did when they built them. The donor cab does not have to be from a cabover as many of the cabs are identical with the only differences being in the firewall which you wont be using anyway. :wink:

Here are a few that you might consider, the first one is a true 4 door but not complete and in perty bad shape. The last link is a good forum to belong to to help you with your search.

FYI , depending on what make and year you decide to get, I might be able to supply the donar cab for the rear half. Best of luck Al, I have been looking for the "right" one to build for 10 years. :biggrin:

If you're looking for a stock Crewcab COE you won't find one in the older years, unless of course you buy one already done, if not you'll have to make one with 2 cabs put together.

Don I thought the same thing but it don't have enough "BLING" BLING" to match his krusty...

Maybe he wants something kinda rare like his krusty. Only 10 left Al, you might get a deal on it.

If there we're only 1300 produced, only 10 known to exist, this is very rare, where is it and someone should grab it.

I think he's planning to take the top off his Krusti & put this one on. Should be a little easier for him to crawl into...:smile:


Wow ! You actually own That 47 ?? Where you located ?
I got a reply last night on a Dodge and its only 125 miles from me . :clap:
I am headed out to look at it next weekend , I think . I'll probably drag the trailer with me so if i do buy it , I can bring it home .

That rare one of ten is pretty COOL ! What is it ? IS it for sale ? PM me some prices.

The 47 Ford is in Sask., Canada. Probably too far away for you. I have a message sent to him asking the particulars. I'll let you know when I know. This is the one your talking about...right ??

Maybe its just me but this one just screams "Big Al" to me, and its ready to roll. Buy it with the trailer and you would have one hell of a rig to use during your contractor jobs. :wink:


1956 Ford COE C-600 on a 1985 Ford chassis. Over $40,000 spent on this rig. It is nice. In the sleeper the bed was removed and a nice bench seat was installed. It has a 5th wheel and other ball hitch. NEW Tires. AC,Power steering, Power Windows. Diesel. Ready to go anywhere. He also has a 1985 36 ft. cargo trailer for sale. He used it to haul his antique cars in it. This is a very nice rig. $7,000 Cash or if you want to pay by check you must wait 3 weeks to take the truck or trailer until the check clears.[SIZE=-1]$ 25,500[/SIZE][SIZE=-1]Goreville, Illinois [/SIZE]Mileage: xx

Nice looking truck. I wonder... it sort of looks like the fenders & cab are same as a regular truck. I don't like the square signal lights, should be round on a round shaped truck...

OT.

Late breaking news flash

First time seen anywhere. Big Al has just acquired this COE, complete with his own personal Krusti carrier. I can't wait to see this cruising down the interstate. He says he should get 4-5 on at one time...
