Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thanks all, I checked and it looks like I spend about 15 hours a week working on the truck. So all in all, I am pleased on how much progress is being made. I'm still shooting for being on the road sometime in late March with a big road trip in April. Even though it looks close now it will still need to be blown back apart for chassis work and some underside work on the body. The body should be ready to remove again (3rd time) later this week or next week.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
60hrs a month isn't bad at all, more than I get. My saying is always add 2 months and more money than you budget!!!! I seem to always be 2 months off my deadlines. Hope you hit yours.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thank you, yea, the deadline is coming up fast, I may need to cut back on some of the details to meet it. I started on the wiring, I am using a 14X24 piece of sheet metal and will mount the electronics behind the seat. This is my first time doing an LS style engine so I've got some things to learn. It's just a few wires so how hard could it be? Famous last words of a fool.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
More progress on the wiring. The main control panel is 90% complete tomorrow I will mount it and start on adjusting the length of all the wires, solder, heat shrink, repeat 300+ times.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
That would be the TAC or Throttle Actuator Control module. I'm using a drive by wire system.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
sure don't look like your first LS wire job LOL. looks proper. I like the behind seat idea, esp since your engine is right there. but obviously you might need to make alot of your other wires longer correct? like interior wire and the front end wiring?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Well, see that's the thing 99, when I ordered the Painless kit I ordered a universal trunk mount kit. All the wires which normally go from the fuse box to the dash section have about 6 feet added to them. I also bought the kit during a Christmas sale so I got the web split cover loom for free. First LS wiring...yes, first EFI system or complete wiring job...no.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Looks really neat. I wish half the crap (new cars) I work on every day had this much attention paid to where things are and where they should be, instead of just haphazardly placed anywhere and everywhere throughout the vehicle. Really Nice job!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Interesting point Oneoffstroker, I had not really giving it a whole lot of concern about clocking the steering U-joints. I understand it for a drive shaft due to vibration and high RPM but it a steering application is it really an issue? On my '46 they are not clocked and to this point I have not had any issues. As a matter of fact, on the donor ('03 Silverado) they where also not clocked. Now on the donor it did use a slip shaft so that may be why it was not a concern.
Rob I've been working on the wiring some more, the flasher relays are a bit close to the rear seat so I may need to shorten the mounting posts for the fuse box.

Looks a little close to me.
I'd probably move them. Your wiring is real clean. Kim |

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thanks all. The kits are 764-10120, 20 circuit trunk mount kit and 764-70920 Powerbraid Chassis kit. The Powerbraid kit came free on a Christmas sale. I bought them through Jegs.
In other good news I got the truck registered and tagged today. Yes, it's a bit early but with it registered I can get some free tires from work...Michelin. Rob

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
More progress, I finished the majority of the engine wiring. I still need to build a mount for the alternator and an intake pipe for the MAF sensor so those are not finished. Not anything special looking on the engine wiring but that was the intent. I checked my records and I have 66 hours in the wiring so far not counting the electric shifter project. The sad thing is I still need to do the dash and the whole chassis. I also built the exhaust this morning. I used as much of the donor as I could and only ended up with $13.00 total in the exhaust, probably the cheapest thing I'll do on the whole build. Finished the rack and pinion mount.

Well, no pictures today but I did build a mount for the alternator, received my ECU back from programming, and ordered some more parts.
