Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Thank you all, I really wanted to follow an old style theme on this thing. Round window are one of those things you just can't seem to find these days. The new T@G have them but only in the door, everything else is all plastic. I still need to figure out the tilt open system and screens but I have some ideas. Using the roller isn't so bad, you just have to learn to creep up on your desired radius.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
A little more progress. I wanted to weld the walls on while the base was on the truck just in case the flat bed has any twist in it. I will also do the floor and wall sheeting this same way. Now getting it back off the truck at this point is gonna be a pain. Anybody got any used truck camper jacks they wanna sell? I need some with a 30 inch range.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
That is absolutely awesome! I'm curious how you're going to match/compliment the patina of the truck.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
A bunch. Around 280 for the walls and the cross tubes for the roof and around 80 for the floor. Like most things I build, I'm starting to think I'm over building this thing. Weight is starting to add up quickly, I'm guessing around 400# at this point. If I can keep the whole package below 1500# I'll be happy. I'm sure the rear bags are gonna get a work out.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
More progress, over 200 screws, 3 drill bits, 2 tubes of glue, another 12 feet of tubing and one side is on. Question: small window at the front or not? It's just sprayed boomed on for now.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
47, doesn't look bad, big question is do you need it for additional light, or cosmetic...Jim

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Front window does help visually break up that space. A little larger in size would look more balanced. And, if the window isn't needed for extra light, perhaps an exterior design element could be used to break up the space.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Actually, a little of both Jim. I'm sure it will offer a little more light but I will also have one in the door on the other side for obvious reasons and I was thinking having 2 on both sides would be a good match. Looking back, I kinda wish I would have moved the larger window forward a few feet. Not something I will change at this point for sure. For size 99, that's a tough one, I would like a larger window but I'm not wiling to drop that amount of coin.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
I would go with the 2 windows. I added one near the front of my trailer and we like it so much more.
