Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Reverse lights to the inside. Don't particularly like having the reverse lights mixed in with stop/turn lights. Just a thought! As an added note...really like what you've done with this build. I always thought the COEs were the neatest trucks. Not sure why I haven't gotten around to building one!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

I finished the tail panels for the most part. It gives the truck a bit more of a finished look at the rear. I still need to build some filler panels for the area in front of the rear tires and I may do some type of a rear bumper below the rear panel. Strength is not the issue as there is a bit of steel behind the rear panel, if I do the bumper it will just be for looks or a step style bumper.

What is that in the background of the 1st pic?!? Do you have a tree stump made up to look like a turkey or peacock? Awesome!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

That would be a peacock made from an old propane tank for the body, a curled Toyota gas tank for a neck, hub cap face and a bunch of old golf clubs for a tail. It's mounted on an old tree stump. It was a gift for the wife when I had no COE to work on.

Looks great Rob. I like the bed the way it is, personally think a bumper of any kind would not look as good as it does now.

47 Fast this project has killer personality, creatively uzzing muscule, and tude. Do you have past livily stories, cause I can see some high schoolers delivery hot tubs and get in some rear trouble. Any way you are having fun and living the life, don't ever stop. Thanks Nut Case

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Thanks all, ran across some other trucks recently. For comparison: a stock 3100 AD and a 350 GMC with a 12 foot flat bed. The shorter nose was the big selling point for the COE, easier to park in the city. Hauling some rocks for the wife I've been putting the rear air bags to use.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

So I'm thinking of running a chain from the yoke to the drive shaft, do a little wiring a little fab and BINGO a twin engine LS powered COE. Starting a new project: '50 Olds Rocket 88.
