IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
I've had the idea of morphing the Cab Over Engine cab with a Panel, to create a van built in '47-'53. I ran across a talented illustrator on Flickr, and posed the idea, this is the result.

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
I can't see the pic but there is a COE panel truck at back to the 50's in St. Paul Mn. every year. I know I have pics of it but can't find it right now. I'd love to see your concept drawing

Wish I could download and then paste, but it's copyright.
See if this works. https://www.flickr.com/photos/leighg...ream/lightbox/

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
That would be be cool to build. I guess you will need 2 longwheel base panels to stack ( take the middle out the one ) or cut open the panel body and fill in the middle to get the correct height.
Thanks for sharing the link, it's very cool. |

what you COULD do, is take a print screen grab of your desktop showing the picture on the site and then upload that. you arent providing the quality of the flickr site, and it is your content. upload it at a lower resolution like 800x600 so we get the jist. fifty two that green one looks like a little like a boeing load lifter. room inside to stand up I bet!

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
That wouldn't be that hard to do but it might be a challenge to find the donors without cutting up two decent trucks to do it. A COE with a beat up roof and back side of the cab might not be that hard to come up with though.

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
![]() Even when I logged into Flickr, I still couldn't find the image. Flickr is a somewhat annoying place to work with, as 89AKurt would say. Since I know him from some place, I managed to squeak in the thumbnail image of it here, from an email of the original link, but now I'm wondering if the larger image at Flickr vanished for unknown reasons.

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
There's a handful of them out there now that are what you want. Just need two bad condition trucks. Be a waste to use a good COE & panel though.

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
I took this screenshot, and posted on another site (yes I despise Flickr). The artist made the front fenders look better, to match the rear fenders better.

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
No kidding! I'm not thrilled about the front fenders, need to be brought up somehow.

Re: IDEA: Advanced Design van concept
All I have time/money for is building models. This is a pickup version I built. I had chopped the cab, moved the fenders and changed the arch contour, and a few other things to make it look alright. I have another project started, converting a resin Panel into a Canopy Express, so doing a van is out of the question now.

ahh the joys of photoshop, which dont need basis in reality and you can change dimensions to fit better. for example, those wheels and hubcaps are at least 24" in diameter, and the front tire would be over the fender if you drew the circle the rest of the way ![]()
