Northern Classic trucks is gone, and along with their retirement they destroyed their COE tooling, has someone stepped in to fill the void?

Most of the stuff went to Midwest Early Ford. Now as far as COE stuff, I have no idea what they actually made for them. NCT made beds for pickups and some trucks. Since they had tool making and press capability , it would have been a supply and demand thing for COE specific parts. The COE trucks have always been hard to source parts for and especially sheet metal. There is nothing under the sun that can not be fabricated and even by hand but the folks that do that sort of work charge for all the time it takes to do the job and it takes a long time to hand form parts even if very good forming tools are available to help.
