A new beefy tranny with race clutches, stall converter, and shift kit replaced the original 47RH. The Roll bar was finished and then removed, the cargo rack was built and added on to the roll cage, and custom dirve shafts were installed. Body work and paint was on hold until the transmission installation was completed, but has now restarted. The rollcage is 1/4" thich tube stock and it does not bend easily. Its primary purpose is to protect the passengers, but it should also protect the truck in a low speed roll over. A safari rack mounts on top of the cage for equipment storage. The completed truck is expected to weigh around 7200 lbs. The sleeper cab goes all the way to the bed floor and is accessible through the front. The front seats will just fold forward so that the passengers can get into the back. Either a bench seat or three R&S bucket seats will be installed in the in the sleeper. |
