Ok, I am picking up my Coe in the next week or so, It will need a paint job I am looking to try to figure out what will look good. So, If you are good at planning out paint jobs please post them. Once I get a few. I think a vote of the top Three I like will be the winner. I will be using a Gooseneck Trailer with this Tractor unit. We will be haulling Vintage equipment like truck etc. so, It must look good. The Nick Name is Dog House.... I have a few Doxies... Hint the name. The Truck Will be blue Theme as the company colors are blue and black. I don't want a strong bright blue. nor a dark blue. I figure a few tones of blue? I really don't know.

I do know that I will be installing a rear body like the Holmes bodies were like. This once had one. But, the deck will be flat and a gooseneck hitch... and a standard class 3 hitch below. I am looking at making this thing look cool and vintage in style.... I am up for some ideas.

Lets see what you guys come up with.... i would like to start the work on the paint this winter..

Thanks Guys.

I will post a Pick of the Coe.. it is the red and white one. I will also post a pick to show what style of rear body I am going to install.

Find an old fire truck. They sometimes have the same syle bed as the wreckers and you can get them fairly cheap. That is what I did to build my hotrod wrecker I am working on. I had a guy that wanted to build a truck but didn't want a bed on it so I bought a fire truck and sold him the truck and kept the bed.
Thanks

getting the bed is no problem as I will build it from scratch. then I can add the boxes and doors where I want it. This truck is a short unit. I would hate to have to modify a larger body.

I am just trying to figure out a paint layout.
