Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Looks good. Will the steering column and wheel cause interference with the seat tilt?

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Not sure about the steering issue yet AD. I will try and modify the tilt function on the 60 seat to make it like the 40 which folds flat. 99 if you really need a late model bed, I really need enough steel to build a 12 foot flatbed. I also have the complete extended cab body in great shape.

Re: Loadmaster '47 COE

Just about done with the seat frame. After adding some boxing plates I removed the center section for front engine access, I also modified the drivers seat (60% side) so it now folds flat. I started on the gas pedal mod. The donor has drive by wire and I really don't care for the looks of the pedal assembly so I'm building a box that houses the modified donor pedal on the outside of the fire wall. Now the stock pedal pushes the push rod which in turn pushes the DBW pedal.

I know i am coming late to this party. I am on page 6(ish) of this thread. I just had to comment on this...

THIS IS ABSOLUTELY BRILLIANT! beautiful way to think outside the box.

I been wanting to build a COE for ages. i think SWMBO is onboard after showing her some of the trucks here and elsewhere.
