Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

No Solid, actually I just sold my '69 Frolic 12 footer. I had photoshopped it on the back of the COE but just didn't get a warm fuzzy feeling with the look. This will be removable and be basically just be for long road trips. Not a lot of extras inside, just a bed, small fridge, AC, heater, a small desk and chair and a few cabinets.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Thanks for posting the pictures of your ac installation. Seeing how your dash unit fit encouraged me to go ahead and buy one. I'm happy with the way it looks and look forward to riding next summer in comfort!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Your welcome Katrina, very happy with mine. Output is great at 40 degrees. Only issue is it will put a chill on the right nee. Not a bad problem to have. You using a aftermarket compressor or factory?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

I had these R4 brackets that would fit my engine, so I bought a new compressor and used them. It was 80 degrees here yesterday, so I went for a ride with the air on, and it seemed to work well. I definitely got the cold right knee!

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Rob in your post #153 (I think) it shows the schematic for your linear actuator shifter. How are you doing with this? Is it still working good? I take it the little green board is the thing you got from Firgelli?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Yes and no, the smaller actuator from Firgelli was not up to the task, that being said I went with a actuator I got off E-bay for under $50, to power this I just a momentary DTDT toggel switch. I use a signal from the transmission position switch to light lights to tell me what gear I'm in. It's been working good now for over 50K miles. Check this thread for the low=down http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=722813

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

OK, working the next evolution of the truck. If you have followed my thread you know I've been planning on building a slide on tear drop style camper for future road trips. This required a couple of changes to the bed area. I had to relocate the fuel filler to the side, kinda hard to fill with a camper covering the gas cap, I also decided to remove the wood on the bed, the wood was warping and the bolts there slightly above the bed floor. Around 90 bolts later the wood was off. I had 3 sheets of 11 ga. cut to size. I will need cut an opening for engine access and build a removable cover. I completed the rear section today and painted it with Rustoleum and a house paint roller. Kinda hard to see but there are over 50 spot welds under the paint.
Rob
