Replacing Cab Corners - 1954 Ford F600 Car Hauler Build part 6 

Slowly :D

This is how it was made 50ies 60ies 70ies

Would it not leave behind the sparks, that form the rust eventually, on the inside?

I have already thought about all of that ;)

It all came from the 16 minute Alfarrari vid ;)

Different machine. Your machine should have a guide for settings on it.

This cab is in pretty good shape for 70 years old, and anything better from the US would be left hand drive and by the time I got it cost a small fortune, so no.

I can't sell you plates that viewers paid to send to me. They live on for them in the background of my videos.

Haha, You should have said hi ;)

@@HomeBuiltByJeff I know. Strange seeing somebody in real life that you watch on Tele. I was driving a coach and (like a kid) waived from the drivers seat. Now 45 senior citizens know about your great skill set and work produced from the shed. I started viewing at the 680g build and still hooked. All the best

@@jackbrown6913 Haha. Glad you are along for the ride :D

Close ;)

I do need to change the diff ratio so it will be able to sit on 110 on the freeway.

Hi Geoff Do you know by any chance what the gross axle weight is of the coaster bus? .. Not..the gross vehicle weight. but what is the maximum legal weight on the rear axle?

Our old Coaster motorhome with 1HZ did cruise along at 100-110 as long as it wasn’t too much of a hill. I’m not 100% if the diff was changed when it was first converted, but I suspect so. Still not quick and bogged down on the bigger highway hills.

@@HomeBuiltByJeff hi Jeff The ratio I tried with my 86 coaster with the v6 was a 4 cylinder diesel diff.. it was all good and maintained 110 kmph at 2400 rpm but the motor and transmission couldn’t take the harsher punishment of 120 kmph . In a way I tried it to destruction doing that .. not intentionally. The spline drive of box with torqconverter was 50% removed and all concerned said I should buy a lotto tick asap with the luck of getting it home. However it turns out It would of been better if the shaft had failed as the box was severely pushing on the crank and wore out the end float thrust bearings by 5mm . That push pressure was what caused major damage to both box and motor and converter. Basically a throw away job. I fitted up a complete new second hand one for $700 from a wrecker so Holden is the way to go. Vx vy vt unit is great value.. Stuart the max rear axle weight would be at tyre pressure max written on a tyre x4 I would of thought… About 2 ton ( 2000 kg) without fulcrum effect if you hang down on tow bar chassis point. With a long wheelbase coaster it would be less..

I have an easier method ;)

The whole thing is new. Just a Chinese made thing.
