Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
OK, so I kinda fell off the map for a bit. I did get the wheels fit and painted. I had to counter-sink the holes deeper due to the 14mm studs the late model truck uses. It also turns out you can not get this style of wheel in a 5" back spacing so a flare needed to be added to the bed, one side is complete. Other then that the truck is running great and I've topped over 8K miles now. Oh yea, I also took it to a car show Sunday and picked up a Top 15 out of about 60 cars so I was happy with that, I also ran it at the 1/8 drag strip a few times with a best of 10.390 seconds, not to bad for a big truck.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Been away from working on the COE for a bit. Put a new engine in the '46 and helping a friend with his 59. Also working on a '50 Olds Rocket 88 for another friend. Driving the COE every day so the miles are racking up, almost 15K now.
I did do a test on the COE. My plans are air bags and a hydraulic tilt bed. The good news is the Cobra does fit. Rob

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
That's awesome, and I love your Cobra! How'd you get it up there? Loading dock or ramps?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thanks all, how did I load the Cobra? I cheated, lift Cobra on lift, back truck under, lower Cobra, BINGO. Later I will install a hydraulic tilt, air bags and some long ramps. The plans are to run it through the summer and tear it back apart this winter for some frame reinforcements and a lot of detail work.
By the way, the TOM contest for this month is heavy haulers, I will enter my truck and could use all the support you guys can offer. Thanks, Rob

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thank's all for your support. It looks like it's gonna be close. I'm not out of it yet, but I need a push for sure. If you have looked over my build and followed my road trips you know my truck is a home built daily driver, not much more I can do at this point. Just the same, all the trucks in the running are worth your consideration. Oh, and by the way, I did top it out the other morning (in Mexico of course) looks like 112 is all shes got. Nothing like trying to push a barn down the highway.
Rob
