Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Looks like the tires tuck under the fenders real nice.
Good looking work.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Making progress, 3 1/2 hours later: The main frame is all welded up, tomorrow I will start mounting the runners to the frame. The ends look like crap but I will gring those back down and install caps later. I will also be removing the 3rd cross brace up for the fenders.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
nice progress. so not sure if I remember or not, (don't actually) but with the harness and ecm, did you rework it or just leave it how it was? where I'm getting at is what kind of mpg's you think your getting?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thanks AD, 99, I reworked the harness myself using info I found on LT1SWAP.COM great site. I also had him (Brandon) reprogram my ECM. In my case I had to adjust the length of every wire, some how I got them all right. For MPG I'm not sure where it's at. I will be checking it this coming week end and let you know. If I had to guess I would say 14/18.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thanks all, lets see here....whats goes on the bed? I'm thinking a cooler, a recliner, one of those big leaf fans with a pretty girl fanning me down. Yea, that's what I'm thinking.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
OK, now we're getting some where. Bed is framed and on, new lights work. My wife even got into the game tonight and installed some temporary carpet.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
How much time do I have? 12 hours. Now my cruise doesn't work. LED tail lights! I need to fix that tonight for sure. Also need to mount a storage box, wire the cigarette lighter (boom box power) and do a quick nut and bolt inspection. The money shots.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
So the road trip went off with out a hitch. No mechanical or electrical issues at all. I did have a couple of annoying squeaks but was able to eliminate those while in Virginia using some rubber stock I brought with me, I also install the passenger door seal while there and that really helped with wind noise. You can see in the first picture I installed the tool box on the left side before we left which really helped for dry storage. In the second is my wife ready to roll. The last ones prove it really happened. I will start on the bed top later this week, I will also need to get some new front springs as I'm getting a little tire rub in a tight turn. Oh and for mileage 17.95 on the first fill up and 18.03 on the second so I'll say 18 highway and will check it for city soon.
Rob

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Nice the trip worked out good, I would say great fuel economy and best part is seeing momma enjoy it, have to build something soon my wife will like, because she usually won't ride in my builds, well not with a smile.
