Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

A 50 Olds will be a cool project! Hopefully you will post it up on alternate tinkering so so we can follow along Rob.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

OK, so the '50 Olds project is on the road and running like a rapped ape. That being said I have found a new project which is appropriate for this forum, I will take some pictures when I go pick it up Monday. Hints: whats left of it will fit on the COE, it started life longer then the COE, It is newer the the COE, it has more windows then the COE. hmmm...what could it be?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

I am guessing based on your statement above and some of the things you have mentioned in this build thread.

Started longer than your COE, but is not any longer, longer than your COE now.

Newer than the COE.

And has more windows than the COE.

MY GUESS is: a travel trailer?

Figure maybe you found a crashed Airstream, hence the Started longer but no longer seems to be. and maybe you are gonna modify it to fit on the back of your COE?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

OK i'll give it up: More windows the my COE, 2 more, 5 window. Newer, 54 mine is a 47. Longer, had a 18 foot flatbed. Yep, it's another COE. Found this one in western Georgia. No major rust, clean and current paperwork. One issue I will need to deal with is it's missing a lot of small parts. It was taken apart by one person, sold to another and then me. All the major stuff is there and in solid shape. I'll post up tomorrow.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

I look forward to following along on the new one. I have always wanted a COE but your build makes me actively seek a COE of my own.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Hi all, so if any of you have followed my build thread you know I put a few miles on my COE (over 36K now). Well, it's that time again, I will leave Wednesday of next week and make a blast to Oklahoma for my daughter's wedding. A blast, as in 12 hours. From there it's up the road to southern Colorado (which is where the truck came from) and then to the Denver area. So that takes me to around Tuesday of the following week. From that point on I'm open to suggestions. What I'm looking for is cruise-ins or car or truck get together. If you want to take a good look at the COE and don't mind seeing a few bugs still attached to the front, just post whats going on in your area and if it's close to on my way I'll do my best to stop on by.
Rob

It would be a good time to catch up with the hot rod power tour and run a couple of legs. It will be going up into OK and ending in Kansas I believe.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Went to a car show yesterday and look what I took home. My buddy also took a top 15 trophy for his '50 Olds we just completed the LS swap on. My fleet plus his Olds, all are fuel injected.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

And we're off, got rolling at 6:00. disregard the times on the camera, I need to set it correctly. For the run out I took the interstate because it's faster? You can tell this by the first picture in Atlanta! Interestingly enough I started with just a tic over 37K on the truck. Normal run conditions for the day. Had to make a quick stop in Alabama. Overall an uneventful day, gas mileage is a little lower then expected at 16.5 MPG. Long day on the road, 16 hours, 828 miles. No A/C!
