1956 Ford Cabover Coe Custom Cab C-600Selling with no reserveFirst of all, I'm not Ford guy. don't have anything against them, it's just that grew up with Chevy's and Dodges, so if get something wrong that's why. don't normally buy Ford's due to the general lack of knowledge on them, but couldn't pass this one up. Old Cabovers of any make just have great look. They are so ugly they're cute. did de-code the Vin to confirm some details, and will say that this is much easier with Ford than Chevy. C600 cab forward, V-8 272, 1956, built in Louisville. The gentleman purchased this from said it had 292, assume he meant 272 as this is what the vin says.This truck was originally purchased by coop in Southwest Kansas, and then sold to farm in the area. They used this truck for years at harvest time, until approximately 1990. wire shorted out in the engine compartment, which caught the carb on fire. They put it out immediately, but the truck sat in that spot since 1990. This was NOT cab fire, or complete engine fire, it simply burnt few wires, fuel line, and the hose from the air cleaner to the carb. Unfortunately, mice found the carb good place to build nest, and engine is stuck because of this.This truck is in amazing condition for sitting outside all those years. Southwest Kansas is pretty dry, and that helped lot. This truck has very minimal rust. The only spots have seen are quarter size spot on driver cab corner, and little in the driver windshield pillar. The floor is solid, but has some pitting. This truck is very complete. The seat goes with the truck, just took it out to show the floor. Seat will need to be reupholstered. Please keep in mind that this was farm truck all of its life, so it does have its dents and dings, but is great survivor. try to take good pictures from all angles. This truck will be sold with a State of Kansas Bill of sale, as the title hasn't been seen in years. will be happy to help provide any paperwork you may need for your state. am easy to work with on storage as long as paid for in timely manner. have forklift and equipment to load, and truck rolls fine, tires hold air, etc. hauled this on 16ft trailer with 5500lb axles behind 3/4 ton pickup with no trouble. can also cut frame behind the cab if that is all you are after, although this truck does have good steel floor bed and hoist. Above all else, want you to know exactly what you are buying, so please call or text Cort at 620-786-5172. will be happy to answer questions or send additional photos. This is hobby for me, and do have 100% positive feedback, so bid with confidence. Thank you and good luck!
