Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Truck is running great....but, the windshield leaks bad, the wipers came loose and the carpet is a sponge. But hey, where having a great time. Fixed the wipers while at a friends house. Pulled and dried the carpet. Going deep sea fishing today so I guess I'll be on biggest catch by tomorrow;)

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Hello Fasttoys aka Rob. This is just like having our own Flat Stanley adventure. Keep up the posting. I never though I'd be interested in someone else's vacation. Glad COE is doing good for you and your wife on this trip. Good luck to all three of you.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Where's the windshield leaking at?? Going to try and repair on the road, or just make do??...Jim

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Well that finishes things off very well. Have a great trip!!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Fishing was fun, we landed 47 fish (18 keepers) in 3 hours. Added a power converter to the fire wall and an additional power outlet to the dash for things like computer, work light etc... Will be rolling up the pan handle today to who knows where. For the wind shield leaks, it's leaking in 3 or 4 places so no repairs for that are planned while on the road. From this point on we have no time constraints so if we get stuck in heavy rain we'll just pull off for a while.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Looks like a great fishing adventure and fun times! The converter is a good idea. No time constraints....awesome. Thanks for sharing Rob.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
dang, your killing it. hey quick fix on the windshield, get some rtv and put in the areas that are giving you problems. in my 51' I used rubber I had laying around and didn't realize it was for a delux trim (this was when I was first learning all this stuff). So I bought the trim ($80 some bucks, still sitting on the wall) can't put it in until I yank windshield out. So I have rtv all through my rubber. It really helped. I only get a little leak in really heavy rain, right down the middle.

Very cool. It reminds me of the bed tent idea that they made for Avalanche/Escalade trucks.
Too cool. Marc |

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Rolling on, "The Armadilla Killa", In Florida they have the retirees version of the Cadillac ranch in Texas, the Airstream ranch. Where old 2 ton Chevys go to die. In Louisiana now headed for headed for Marshall TX. and then the turn for up north. I did do a little work on the truck adding some lift spacers to the front coils for clearance, only got about 1/2" lift and need about another 1/2" but will wait on that, I also picked up an engine cover at a Pick a Part while in Mississippi for $13.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Been in Marshall TX for a couple of days now, why Marshall? why not! Picture 1 is what happens when your wiper linkage loosens up again. This is twice now this has happened and I hope it is the last. We went to a cruise-in in Marshall and saw a few neat rides. Tomorrow its off to Little Rock AK. for dinner with friends, then West Memphis to deposit some cash at the dog track.
