Ford-Freightliner COE

[chunkypeanutbutter]

What do you do with a Freightshaker cab and a '56 Ford flipnose?

Well, cut most of the hood off the flipnose, shorten the 'Shaker cab, and make a custom COE!

Still a few places to fix with putty: the front underneath the windshield, a couple spots on the roof, the front left corner where the cab meets the nose/fender, and the lines on the fenders.

Engine, you may ask? V8, most likely. Maybe I'll put the C600 engine in it. If I can't decide on an engine or how to do the hinges, I'll keep it curbside.

It's going to have a wrecker bed, much like this one:

...but single-axle and a smaller boom, like one for regular cars and pickups.

Second-to-last coat of putty and primer.

This badge is the Freightliner one with "White" scraped off, and a Ford badge from the flipnose side step added.

Here's a representation of how much I cut from the cab to get it to this size.
