Help with Flathead Ford F-4 Truck

Where are the pictures taken at of all the COE in the background

Boy the COE is what I would want to do if it were an old truck

Didn't ever work on too many old trucks but have drove a few and back in the day there were some strange ways to start vehicles. Drive an old fire truck about the same vintage at the Mecum auction this year and think it had the starter switch on the floor
