determined power train is a bit loose for a buggy motor. rolls coal great though!
07' van / chassis dual rear wheel, 589K miles on a DBW 6.0, 4l80e
we pulled the box for a shed, and now it sits.
looking for a 1930's-60's complete cab with title
and will flatbed it.
plan to use van floor and firewall, mate it to the doner cab. source seats and interior mismatch it.

52 pushed into the shop.
rear cab mount shackels in tact and functional, should bolt right to new frame. center fire wall mounts pretty rough and fighting to come loose. front clip mount free after two snapped bolts. torched some of the hood hinge levers and got the hood open, gutted electrical.
should be good to lift off next time in the shop after disconnecting steering.

Post by: M4wdFab on May 15, 2017, 11:25:24 PM
dropped ECM to post office to send to LT1
HTR core in and out holes tapped and plugged on the 6.0
52 column pulled, pull all van and all 52 steering parts on the bench. went together great, using most of the van parts adapted to a shortened 52 column. it fell together with no issues and will be awesome. as long as my measurements were right.
had to cut 52 fire wall to get column out as its an assembled unit to the box. 70 year old grease is awesome.
should steer tomorrow.
needs a driver tie rod end.

i ended up using all the parts to make it easy and get around the LS headers.
The shaft tube will bolt to a bracket welded to the frame coil spring mount.
buried in 70 year old grease, there is a 3/4" shaft in the 52 column that adapted right up to van parts / column bearings. turned out awesome.
need to install tonight and make the coil bucket bracket.

brake pedal may need to be extended. steering wheel is BIG
will wait to adjust that to when i get a seat.
exhaust came.
hopfully the upper radiator hose will come today

i should have to re weigh because im not changing registration class. it is a CC truck, but unknown to them status. i showed him the picture with the plack on the door where i got 6820 from i wrote on all paper work. supervisor said no good, need weigh slip. i was stuck anyway with out the 6th form filled out missing MV51B by sellar since i have not had possession more than 1 year. didnt find that "rule" on the internet.
has high and low beam head lights, and one tail light hooked up right now. if i was not 3 beverages in i would have run it down to the CAT scales, but still need paper from sellar so no rush for another lunch trip.
headlights were also sealed beam 6 volts. swapped for what was in my CJ7 before i replaced them with new. all good.

also forgot my phone with the actual picture that didnt help.

Finally deputy came out, still having no clear solution or procedure. ended up writting up a full police report that states he acknowleges the vin, vin location, and ran through system with no flags.

Install with grain arched up (end view of grain will be arch not U). Bolt at every cross member. if you use wide boards use 2 bolts. Rough sand with 40g on a floor finisher and hit will tompson's sealer. You need to seal the bottom too. That should solve the warp problem. Plan to seal every couple years.
Think about all the gazillion year old barns made of rough lumber without all the metal structure to support the wood. you should be fine.

everyone one of those I have ever seen have resulted in having to use a hammer and prybar to fold/unfold after a few years. Your application may be a bit better since it probably won't see road salt.
Post by: mr.mindless on June 19, 2017, 11:09:34 AM
It has some hinge pin wear and rocks a little bit after a lot of heavy miles. No folding issues at all and it sees salt. I do hit its grease zerk every year-ish.

the deck is actually about what a normal truck would be. For my RAM i have the big trailers gooseneck receiver raised as much as possible to get the nose of the trailer down to the truck. i bet for the 49 it would be fine or need 1 or 2 holes down. its probably very close to mikes truck deck thats 8" lower than my truck.

Be careful on insurance and what they cover, some are only to and from car shows.if you click the link, that's one of the major points they mention. limited miles, but NOT restricted miles.

all surfaces rolled with waste oil after a couple test pieces provided good results.
deck screwed down
tail lights and plate mount done
signal lights and running lights wired to blinker / hazard switch- all good
mud flaps mounted
should be ready to inspect with some horn and mirror work.
Post by: M4wdFab on July 06, 2017, 01:19:25 AM
picked up a shifter seal for the trans tonight as that seemed to be the only potential source for trans leak area- pulled NSW and noticed the pressure service port plug finger tight and freshly leaking stream. easy fix yeah!
did some finish welding in the under side of the bed while it was in the air, fixed some steering line abrasion issues, added a front body mount to support the front clip as it would be on the 49 chassis after finding metal 1/64" away from power steering lines at box in let.
needs headliner put in or serous clean/prep. rust falling on head and seat is annoying. took to lunch today for first real drive with lights and such.
horn switch and mirrors ordered and on the way.
bed looks great after a day in the sun to soak up the waste oil.

Im going by how mine is insured through Hagerty:
"We can consider limited towing and hauling up to 20 times per year"
Post by: cracker on August 03, 2017, 01:57:35 PM
Quote
The Hagerty agent asked what I was going to be using the truck for and I evidently made the mistake / was honest enough to say "Load up some surfboards and go surfing for the weekend at the beach" and his response was an immediate "Umm, wrong answer, we can't cover you; NO type of hauling is allowed, much less leaving the truck outside overnight away from an enclosed and locked garage; even parking garages are disallowed.
Post by: M4wdFab on August 03, 2017, 02:14:08 PM
they do require proof of insurance of the other vehicles i own, and evaluated that i have 4 tags and one house hold driver. its also an agreed value so at 4K, i dont think they are too stringent.
if for sale id list it for 10-12K however.
if i would have clamed it to be 45K im sure they would have looked a bit harder at it.
