Just a quick update on the progress to the COE. Chassis, underneath of cab, and engine painted and all put back together.
1960 COE Chassis Paint
มุมมอง 142ปีที่แล้ว
Now that winter's here, I decided to pull the engine and paint the frame and underneath of the cab. Also working on some finishing touches until a bed is built.
COE Door Step Drain Holes
มุมมอง 275ปีที่แล้ว
This is a modification I did to add/enlarge drain holes in the step plate. This allows easier cleanout of debris and hopefully prevents the wheel well cavity from filling up in the future.

Custom bumper made from 2 front bumpers welded together to give a more lowered appearance. Added a rececessed license plate and 2 air intakes to match visually to the headlights.
1960 Ford C600 Cabover Project
มุมมอง 10Kปีที่แล้ว
This is the next future project to do. 1960 Ford cabover i plan to use as a hot rod and tow vehicle.
love the progress!!! Cant wait to see the front end!
@@chadbear8938 Thanks. I've been watching your website for updates on the crew cab as well.
Sweeeeeet!.....👍👍👍
Any thoughts on a diagonal link vs a panhard bar?
@@hotrodNova After all my research and talking to others, I formed my own opinion that a diagonal link was good for a static ride height and lightweight vehicle where the panhard bar suited an adjustable ride height, heavier duty suspension. Maybe I'll do a video explaining why I went with the style suspension I did.
Lookin' good! I like your thought process. You are instigating me to do a COE!...😂😂😂
Can you show us how to do this swap
Man, nice job!
got another question for you on light sizes. What size are the lights in the grill?
The lenses are 4-1/4. The entire light is 5-1/2. Those are the same stock marker lights as a 1960 F100 pickup.
Yes, the quad headlights are smaller. They are 5-3/4" diameter. The inner and outer sheet metal is different due to the dual headlight buckets. I looked long and hard for a truck with them since they were only used on 1958 through 1960. All other years only had the single large headlight.
Thanks for sharing your journey. I am taking a similar one with a 58/78 C series. Question for you, what size are the headlights on your cab for the quad lights. I believe the single headlights were 7" but the quad lights look a bit smaller. I like the quad light look!
Hey bud, I have the same build but I'm having trouble with the fans. Could you give me some guidance?
What type of fan are you running? I used the stock cummins engine fan which required moving the engine and trans rearward about 2 inches. If you don't want to do that, I think you can only use electric fans.
update please.
Nice ride!
I keep checking back for more vids on this channel. I’m glad you’re still putting them out. I know you don’t usually film yourself working on it but when you do the axle swap can you film a lot of it and make a video of it. I’m new to the car modification world and I have pretty much the identical truck and I want to lower it and make it look sick like yours. Anyways that would be a huge help. Thank you
Hope to be able to do just that. I need to get a GoPro for filming rather than my phone. I am by no means a videographer so its a skill I need to learn.
noice if i may ask what Throttle cable did ya use? thanks
Since the 05 truck had an electronic pedal, I swapped in a pedal from a 99-03 truck and used the stock throttle cable from a 96 Ram.
Excellent idea
i would like a template of that if your able to do that, thanks
Give me your email address and I can send you a PDF of the template I made as well as a DXF file if you have access to a CAD program.
Where can I find door seals and wind seals and sweeps??
I can't say for sure but I was told a company named Rubber the Right Way might be able to make them.
If you are looking for a diesel...I have a 85 C700 with a 8.2L Detroit Diesel, has only 92k miles, it was a PG&E truck aged out of service, runs great, 5 speed manual. It also has the 22.5 10-lug wheels, which was key to me since I had a 72 C50 with widow makers and I had to trash that chassis (That cab is now on a dodge motorhome chassis). I want to change the drivetrain to a hybrid gas-electric, so don't need the diesel. Look forward to seeing your project. Ramp truck right?
I appreciate the offer but I decided to leave the y-block in it since it was a new rebuild with only a couple hundred miles on it. As for the bed, I think my plan is something similar to a Holmes 525 wrecker bed without the boom on it.
I seen where you mentioned they came off a FedEx truck. But I didn’t know if they would bolt right up or if the hubs had to be changed out. And are the rear wheels also off a FedEx truck? I really appreciate the info. I love how you have yours sitting. I took note of the leaf spring removal you informed someone else about. I’m going to replicate your truck’s stance it’s just like I want mine to be. Mine is a 1987 c800 but pretty sure the frames and stuff are the same.
They did bolt right up, same pattern. No drum changes necessary for the 6 lug. All six wheels are from a fedex truck. The isuzu or gm w4500 trucks used them as well. Eventually, I will upgrade the axles to an Oshkosh chassis delivery truck since those seem to have used Dana 80 rear axles.
@@gmccartney72 thank you that is a lot of help. I really appreciate it. I like how yours is coming along so far it looks mean. I think. 🤙
Your welcome and thanks for the compliment. Good luck with your build and I look forward to seeing it.
Just a quick question on the new wheels. Did you just use the same drums with a 6 lug wheel on the front and what did you do with the rear wheels. Do they make a wheel that used the same hubs in the back 5 lug?? Thanks. I really want to change out my widow makers also.
Mine was 6 lug already so all I did was bolt the rims on. I didn't have to change anything on the wheel ends. As for a 5 lug, those I think had a 5 on 8" pattern. Not sure about replacement wheels for them.
Nicely done! 👍👍👍
Leave is gas.
It will stay gas. I forgot how much I like a y-block!
Nice... what's your plans for a bed?
I'm leaning towards a 50-60's style wrecker bed without the boom, kind of like a step side.
Where is a good place to find parts?
There is a place in Minnesota that I have gotten some hard to find parts for mine. He has roughly 20-25 of these old cabover trucks. He is very good to deal with and says he can ship most parts. shanescarparts.com/category/vintage-truck/ford/
Love them old C series trucks!
Lookin' good!...👍👍👍
Beautiful!!!! Just got my '66 C600. I sure would like to give your engine a home if it becomes available.
Well after driving this truck all summer, plans have changed. With the outrageous cost of diesel, I am leaving the y-block in it and dress it up. It runs too good and has plenty of power so the current focus will be the axles and chassis.
Do you know just how many leafs you removed from the front and back? I like the height of this one and I'm looking at doing the same on mine.
I took 2 leafs out of the front, leaving 3. Removed 5 leafs out of the rear. I removed every other leaf in the front and every 3rd leaf in the rear. All just temporary until I find newer axles and air ride it. Hope this helps.
@@gmccartney72 thanks, that’s exactly what I was looking for. I have the same plan but want some to help the looks until then
One other thing I should mention, I changed the rims and tires to get rid of the widowmakers. It now has 19.5 rims with 225/70 tires off of a fedex truck. That alone dropped it 3 inches.
@@gmccartney72 ok thanks. That's good information as I'd also like to try and get a different wheel setup on mine. Are they a tubeless tire or do they still use a split lock ring on them?
@@cameronconnolly9862 They are one piece tubeless.
O-H-I-O Porter greetings 🇺🇸 1960 model? WOW! I drove a 1965 C800…390 gas 5/2 speed. This was one sweet truck. Built as a road tractor, modified to pull mobile home & other trailers. It was such a wonderful & handy truck! I miss it so much! You have a truck that has so much potential! Wether you keep that engine or switch to a diesel, it will be one nice truck. The cabs are rather roomy & nice looking as well. You will enjoy this ride! 🥰🤩✌️
oh yupp. i just bought a 65 c600 last week, keep up these videos ill start making some to on another channel I got. love to see people actually working and modifying these
Damn those ford's were ugly. 😅
Face looks like it just sucked a lemon.
I used to think so too.. But old style auto body designs have potential.. Modern designs. No way
Love it, been looking myself. drove one as a delivery truck long ago and loved the view of the road..
cOMPANY i WORKED FOR HAD A FEW WITH FUELOIL TANKS AND 2 TRACTORS, 534 GAS MOTORS 5 SPD 2 SPD REAR, WOULD PULL A HOUSE DOWN , BAD PART WAS GAS MILEAGE OR LACK OF. SEEING IT WAS A SUNOCO DISTRIBUTOR NO PROBLEM, HAD TO WATCH TILTING CAB MAKE SURE NOTHING IN SHELF BEHIND SEAT, MANY CRACKED WINDSHEILDS.
Two words: Ramp. Truck.
How do you make a powersmoke reliable? THROW A CUMMINS IN IT 🤣🤣🤣🤣 FOOK YEAH my dude.
