C-Series COE (1948-1956).
Like other
automakers that built COE trucks before the 1960s, the early
Ford C-Series trucks were "Cab Forward Trucks" or also called
"Cab Over Engine Trucks." These trucks shared major components
with dlen Ford F-Series pick ups and from 1948 to 1952 were
simply COE versions of the F-5, F-6, F-7 and F-8 pick up
classes. For 1953, the Cab Over Engine Trucks were renamed
C-Series, but remained largely modified F-Series
trucks.
COE models were
designated C-500, C-600, C-700, C-750, C-800, C-850, and C-900
depending on weight class, with the C-900 being the "Big Job"
model.
From 1954 to 1956,
Ford C-Series Cab Over Engine trucks had the V8 engine with 272
CID (4.5L) 4V (Heavy Duty) the Lincoln Y-V8 gasoline engine in
4.9 liter version with 196 hp or the 5.4 liter version with 212
hp.
C-800 to C-900
trucks were available with diesel engine, but received an
additional zero in the model designations C-8000 or
C-9000.

There are countless
possibilities for the design of this truck. Very popular is the
construction of the driver's cab over a frame with drive train
from a "modern" pick-up or SUV.
