Conversion Highlights

  1. Taking the bed off the truck was almost as insightful as taking the engine out. Tommy, Lou and Johnny struggle to balance the bed while I take a picture for the scrapbook. For the next month or so, the bed rested on its side in the garage while we made frames for the batteries to rest, supported by the truck frame. We used angle iron from Home Depot which could be bolted together, almost like the old Erector Sets of my childhood play. We initially debated whether to reuse the bed, or create a flat bed/post, which could be lifted to access the batteries. We finally decided reinstalling the bed, welding hinges to it and a support lever to hold it up.
