Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
nice work rob, I'm more of an after tank trap believer. But both would be best. a steel tank condensates a lot, so regardless of how dry the air is going in, it will still condensate and put moisture going out.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
I have a water trap after tank on my Jeep and house very little water in either. But I drain the water from the tanks often.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Little update: Another lesson learned on air bag system, be sure if your compressor is on a toggle switch to turn it off. Got distracted with the compressor running and a couple of minutes later...boom. Blew the line leaving the compressor off. I figure I had around 300+ PSI based on the run time and how much I had to bleed from the tank to bring the needle off the pegged pin.
I will be installing a new fitting and and automatic control switch next. On a happier note, I installed the visor which was on the truck when I got it. I can't find a manufacture name on it so I don't know who made it back in the day, but I would guess it's 50s era correct. Stainless steel ribbed with polished center section. Rob ![]() ![]()

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Luuuv visors, I found a local one for dirt cheap but of course I can't be spending money right now

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Darn Rob, glad no components got rearranged in your air system. It's easy to make a mistake like that, and good idea on a pop off valve aswell 99. I love the visors to. Mine didn't have one, but I will be putting one on it....bout 450.00 for aftermarket. A local yocal has I severely rotted out 50 3/4 ton Chevy with a good visor on it, only thing on the truck that's left in good shape. He wouldn't sell it, but quoted maybe 600.00......I laughed. The truck doesn't run. It's been setting and rotting for years, guy says he gonna redo it, but how's he gonna do that when he doesn't go outside, work or anything, whatever.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Visor looks good. They make the trucks look chopped. I have a Fulton Sun Shield mounted in the lowest setting.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Looks good.
I was walking the turlock swap meet last weekend and the cheapest I could find a visor was $150 and it was rough... |

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Yikes ! sweet build ... theres a square d version of that pressure switch that has the on/off lever on it and is adjustable with about 60 psi or range. so On at 160 off at 210. I mounted the pressure switch box directly behind the seat where I can reach back with my left hand and flip it on(automatic) and off when I want the compressors off. I can also hear the switch click on and off which is super helpful. There are also 3/8 press loc pressure relief valves that go at 220 that no bagged truck is complete without.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
OK, so I always thought the Daytona Superbird with the wing on the tail was a cool looking car, so I got to thinking why not a superbird COE? For sure I will be using these pieces on the rear of the truck. Thoughts?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
So I'm working on the tail lights. I will be running 3 lights per side. Which way would you go, reverse light in the center or to the inside? These are standard trailer lights I picked up from a local truck stop. Simple, cheap and effective.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Don't know about the wing. Sounds neat. Do it. If you don't like it there is always the cutoff wheels.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
So, no love on the wing idea huh? well I guess I will just use it for a rear filler panels. I started by adding an extension to the rear lip of the fender, was able to get 2 from 1 trailer fender. The sheet steal was bent at a local shop. I will also redo the tail lights using 3 per side, 2 for tail and stop and 1 per side for reverse lights. Still a bit of test fitting and adjustments to be made. A WING....REALLY?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Loadmaster, Those three tail lights on each side of your bed are just beggin for a sequential turn signal indicator. I wired a system on my son in laws 52 F1. Worked out great. Just thought you might like to know. Great work keep on keepin on. NC

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Hey 99, they are Wheel Vintiques 8 X 16 with 4"BS. I did need to file on the front calipers just a bit for clearance and cut the taper deeper for the larger lug nuts. The late model Silverado uses 14mm studs and the wheels are drilled for 1/2 inch. Interesting idea on the tail lights Nut Case, I'll give that some thought.
Rob

Reverse light in the middle looks more balanced.
