Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Been doing some more work on prepping the bed for the top. I moved the air filter and the battery to the inside of the frame and added a second tool box to the right side of the frame, I also put a 1" notch above the tires for a little extra clearance and started on a headache rack for the front. I will be using a sink drain piece I picked up at the hardware store for a fuel filler trim ring. I think it will work out pretty good. I will be taking a long road trip starting Saturday including: GA, FL, AL, MS, LA, TX, AR, TN so I've been at it pretty hard lately.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
dang personal power tour? I like the filler neck idea. if it were me, I'd make the bed removable. I'm the king of over thinking "hey I might need to get to this someday" but..... you do have a lift, so makes for easy access. I'd be dead if my halftone beds didn't slide out!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
you might want to make sure there are a couple small drain holes in the sink ring, so it doesn't fill up with water. Just a thought but you truck is looking great. I would like to have seen it a dually but what you have looks good.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Actually the sink drain does have about a 1/4 gap below the cap for drainage. As far as the duel rear wheels go, I would like to do that later. Oh and yes the bed is removable, 12 1/2 bolts, 2 quick disconnect wire connectors and 1 hose clamp, even the tool boxes come off with the bed. Oh, and has anybody seen a engine cover laying on the side of, or in the middle of the road? I think I may have failed to tighten the retaining bolt down and mine decided to find it's own way in life on my way to work.

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
 Rolling on, Rob

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.
Earl
