Field rescue COE truck! NEW PROJECT!!! 

I love the coe trucks. It's screaming for a roll back bed and whatever you can stuff under the hood. But really to get that roadworthy and drive it home? Very ambitious goal!

Our Dad owned a tree Service business He bought a 54 COE Chevy flatbed dump new Four speed Trans with two speed rear axel Man that thing was hot to drive on a hot summers day You are sitting on top of the engine

Yeah do what welderup does put a big big diesel that kicks ass and torque and race it down the strip!!!! That would be awesome!!!!

My Dad moved our family twice in an old green one that looked so similar, but with a full box. It wouldn't go over 45mph unless it was downhill and with the wind!

I wish my wife had her enthusiasm for finding diamonds in the rough in the field. :D There's just something that draws me to these forgotten relics. Maybe it's seeing the potential or having a better visual of the vehicle's story. Perhaps it's simply the fact that it's more easily attainable than the pristine show cars that are beyond my reach. Anyways, I actually enjoy walking through an old car yard more than checking out a car show. Best of luck with the project! :)

Oh Man. You've got a clean slate on this truck! A 5.9 Cummings with a tilt bed. Wow, can't wait to see what you come up with.

I have ALLLLLLWAYS wanted a COE.... Way back before they were cool to most, I wanted one to build a ramp truck. Now's your chance to have real COOL!!!!!!

I live in a small town in Oregon. I rescued one of these from a field here locally. It was a 51 mostly complete with motor and trans and in good shape. I just didnt want it to sit there and rot away. I couldnt restore it because I was pretty much broke at the time. The guy gave it to me for free. It cost me $100 to tow it to my house. I listed it on a COE forum and sold it for $100. I just wanted it to go to a home where it would be restored. I also spread the word of another I knew about in a nearby town. Also sitting in a field. It disappeared from the field soon after. So I'd like to think I "rescued" it as well. I can't wait to see how this project goes!

I love COE trucks. If you make it into a ramp truck, I'd add a big block Chevy or a diesel. You will need torque more the HP. Really looking forward to the project. 460 in the '61 would also be great. I have a friend with a short bed with a 460.

You guys are an awesome couple hope the coe goes good a little smile thanks for that

I know it's been done but a ramp truck. Dove tail the back and bag the rear suspension so it sits down and no ramps needed to load. Or convert to front wheel drive and get the bed even lower.

I love these old COE redis! I'm thinking ramp body / car hauler, but just pressure wash the hell out of it and leave the patina, and maybe BBC!

Pure awesomeness. I want a COE to make a car hauled out of.

Badass! Perfect For Towin My Family's 60's Survivor '55 Chevy "Rocket Muffler" Bel Air Nostalgia Drag Wagon! Miss My '79 3/4 Ton Chevy Tow Rig...

That is a cool piece of history, cant wait to watch this build. I've got a 53 g.m.c Coe cab and front clip I got from my dad after he passed away

Those things are highly collectable. You should put the cab on a cummins frame make it your tow rig when going tk the drags , no trailer equals 65mph

Looking forward to this rebuild!

Get on this bad boy and make it run! This would be a great project to video.

This thing is just screaming ramp truck! Roxy would have a new drag strip friend!

Get rakes ,shovels ,picks and a chainsaw, get to work, would make a awesome ramp truck

from the pull down handles and side vent in cab its a 49 peace

Lotsa options here,this is going to be fun to watch. Seems a shame to work hard to get it running there and then pull it apart again. I helped a cfriend do a Ford COE many years ago. Friend insisted in gas power, he put a BBC in it with a T-400. Engine behind the cab no matter what you power it, will make it a heck of a lot cooler and quieter in the cab, and if you design the ramp wedge right much easier to work on as well. I would scrounge the boneyard for a common rail out of a 3rd gen Dodge. IF you could find an 07 Dodge Ram 3500 dually in the boneyard or otherwise as a donor vehicle you would be set pretty well. Prefer would be 07, 325 HP 600 lb tq. bone stock. Adapt to an Allison. Use the Dodge dually rear end, with Disc Brakes from the factory. You can put the radiator up front where it was designed to go, or in front of the engine behind the cab., then you could convert the space under the hood to a baggage compartment. AC condenser up front for sure. Set it up on air so that when it is time to load the GTO you can drop the wedge to the ground. Same color as Roxy. Flying Sparks logo on doors... Can see it in my mind now.

A Cumming diesel for car hauling or a stroked 350, 383, low end torque cam with EFI. Steep gears with an overdrive transmission would make in travel down the road for the long haul trips. Clean up the rust and put that Rino liner on the cab.

Was hear. Nice rat rod. Love COEs...can't wait for the next one

Awesome I love COE TRUCKS Especially the old Chevrolet's. Aaron smile is awesome I'm happy for him this is his kind of build. Definitely make a ramp truck . Finnigan will be so jealous!!

my vision of a COE (and actually same style) would be to build it to be a ramp truck/car hauler. maybe a P30 chassis? maybe a cummins or duramax? excited to see what you do with it!

2 stroke Detroit, 6 speed manual, Jerr-Dan aluminum roll back. Drooling of this one, Although a body swap on a Chevrolet 4500 with a Duramax / Allison..........

its gunna need alot of work but definitely a keeper. theres so many ideas you could do with it

When it gets painted you should paint that tree on the frame, would be an amazing detail to it's history.

Roll off definitely! 👍🏼

Love it. Great truck for a build and Texas Run!

Car hauler sounds like a great idea for this rig.

I would check the frame width to see if it's the same as a C35. Those straight axles aren't worth messing with and the C35 crossmember should easy enough to adapt.

the photo shoot at the end was great, looks like she is part of the family!

It's a dream of mine to have a COE ! How to build? Think of the use... car hauler or "pick up" truck ? On a updated frame or transplant another truck parts to the original frame... oh my!

Sick truck, hope you can restore it back to something that looks like it's former glory.

Car Hauler for sure. Finish the interior. Cummins diesel, leave the patina, wipe down with lindseed oil, no clear-coat. Check out Chevs of the 40's for all the interior parts, glass, rubber door seals, windshield rubber or most anything for this truck. I suppose a 800hp LS would work. that way you could have Vintage Air. Nah... go with the diesel.

BOYEEEEE!COE!Those dudes are...twins.

We really enjoyed this video. I have a factory manual for this COE if you ever need one. Happy New Year Emily and Aaron!!

Very Cool Em!

That is going to be a cool project! Love the look of the COE's

Total restoration, none of this 'patina' crap. Make her beautiful again. Guessing it's a 1954 model Chevy.

Cool old trucks they really need rescued both of them

Damn thats a nice project truck

Its in resonably good nick❤❤

Oh man that would be such a killer car hauler. He’ll yes get it....

very nice, can't wait to see what you do with it

Absolutely awesome look at the one Danny from Count Kustoms has in Las Vegas Nevada he's got the same cab over design absolutely incredible truck you guys found a piece of gold can't wait for the project to start

There was a "570" on the hood of the Chevy. I'm not really into Chevys, but they used thousands in their models back then, I'm going to guess it's a model 5700, from the late '40s- early '50s. Cool project, go for it! The Ford pickup looks to be a "unibody". Only made in the early '60s (61-63?) Truck box and cab were one piece, hence name "unibody." Kind of rare I think, that needs a restoration. Cool old trucks!

Very cool, love the tree growing around the frame. That’s old farm life for dead vehicles. My grandpas farm had a tractor that grew into a tree..or vice versa

A nice Duramax with Allison trany, a body repairs and nice finish, a year model interior with newer gauges, make it safe, brakes, lights, fuel lines etc. Etc. And a GREAT REALY GREAT BIG BUDGET $$$$$/

Stubby Bob Flying Sparks style.

12v Cummins powered Ramp Truck

I love the idea it would be like roadkill but with Emily and Aaron. My two favorite shows in one

Can’t wait to hear whatchall name it!! Now imagine this guy beside the one Dennis Taylor is building!!! 2020 is the year of COE!

Can't wait to see you guys getting going together back on the road

This will really make a nice truck. Good bones for the year. Probably around a 50 or 51 maybe? I agree it would make a killer rollback! Liked the old Ford too!

Awesome project

Nice project early 50s

This is awesome!! Cant wait to see where this goes!

Major respect for this plan! I love seeing vehicles like this get saved from rusting down. Thank goodness it's wintertime, looks like a place for snakes to hide 😱! Rats, it's time to find another home 😄!

Love that body style!!

I love COE trucks that would be Sweet with a ramp bed or as a gooseneck rig!

I would love to see this re-created as a car hauler. Needs to be more than a 350 to haul another car however. A 12 valve Cummins would be nice, or a big ass 502!

I thought I'd get to see some Aaron n chain saw action!!! LOL can't wait to see you guys get this old girl going again!!! 😃

Deboss garage started up a 353 Detroit that would be neat in this old coe

Hell yeah you got a tow truck for Roxy or Zen.

Both look like great projects.Love the cabover

This could have been a Rod Kill episode. Very cool .From the video it looks pretty solid. Ha, just as I write that you said it!

This looks like a FUN project!!

That is awesome I want one please, and I live in Texas. I feel it will take more than an engine

Antique Truck Historical Society! Join!

If that is a uni-body FORD truck and the tailgate is straight and rust free. It is worth good money.

Can’t wait to see more videos! This will be an awesome revival!

I definitely like the idea of this project... all blacked out

You had me at COE! This is going to be awesome

2 stroke Detroit would be an interesting swap if you could stand the noise. It will make a cool build whatever route you go. You know what they say about cab overs, you are always the first ones to the scene of the accident, literally....

Like roadkill, but with an actual plan!

OH man! that truck deserves a DIESEL only! Loud and proud.

A new car hauler!!

Use it to haul Roxy to the events! Diesel power of coarse!

Cool. If you gonna haul cars with it then how about a Cummins or a Detroit for power.

I think it ought to become your car hauler!

Nice find would be nice to make it in a car hauler ramp truck

SWEET!

OH HELLS YEAH !!!!

It's gonna be supengulus 😁

Make it sweet, make it happen, make it yours. Go radical but all out comfortable?

Yeah that Chevy is doable with probably more available parts. . Partial to the Smooth front White Truck COE. Narragansett Bay.

Love the COE trucks. They’re so cool looking. Just subscribed! 👍

I vote you swap in a modern diesel and axles for her, make it a restro mod. Seeing how it looks like a Chevy, throw a Duramax and Alison combo in her and be done.

Awesome Truck !! possibilities are endless ...im guessing its a 50 with split windshield?

Cummins!!!!!!!

Just great

I would leave the old paint lower it and drive it it's so cool I like it

I would love to take a Coe and build a nice RV out of it

That would be a great project for you to do

That would make a bombass car hauler

I swear. I married the ONLY Texas girl who hates cars. I wish my wife would get half this excited about any of my project vehicles.

It`s gotta Roadkill vibe....goin rouge on us guys? lol
