Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Nice pictures. I always enjoy seeing the old iron when I visit my daughter in Wichita. It is so dry up there where the old iron lasts better, than down here in high humidity world .

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
If I remember correctly it was North Central Kansas. Mileage? for this trip I ran a bit over 3900 miles. Total on the conversion is a bit over 68K.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
That is sweet! Looks like you had a great trip and glad you had no issues. When you are on the highway how fast are you cruising?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
With no winds or any tail wind 75 to 80. With a head wind 65 to 73. It did not like head winds for sure and stayed in 3rd most of the time. a lower rear end gear would help but normally I don't have the camper on the back so I can't see it happening any time soon. Gas mileage ranged from 8 to 12 depending on wind, ha, so much for the aero plan on the camper. With all that being said I wouldn't change a thing. Had a great time.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
I don't think you can do much other that an aero wing to help with the wind and hauling tall loads. You got way better than a BBC pulling any tall camper. I'd just leave your rear end as is and keep on trucking.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
I wouldn't touch the gears either. That's right where you would be with the pickup body, towing a trailer.

Saw this and thought of your truck. Airfoil was the thing that caught my eye. https://www.flickr.com/photos/585950...th/5374700602/

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
And I'm back, and I think so are my pictures? Without the pictures working my thread was useless. So lets see the COE now has wood sides on it (removable). And I have been hauling loads of gravel to re-do my drive and parking area. Some minor issues have arisen with the cooling system. 1 failed water pump and some electric fan issues. Of course the water pump started leaking with 2 1/2 tons of gravel on the back so that was a 3 stop trip adding water just to get home. Also just this week I turned over 80,000 miles on the build. Not to shabby for a sub $18K build. I thinking when I hit the big 100,000 mile mark it may be time for a tear down and some paint. I did get the weight at the scale the other day. With the side boards and my 200#, OK maybe 210# she weighed in at 5560#. I'll get some pictures posted soon.
Rob

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE
Nice on the 80k mark! I don't see the pics either. The truck isn't very heavy too. That's a plus!
