So far so good

I found out how to do this, The truck is a 1969 J1 Bedford that needs tlc it's weight 2140kg

The strip down

First the deck had to go the wood was past used by date and the steel was not far behind come to think of it it will need rewiring to 40 year old wire will not work to good

then the ice went

 I put an add on trade me and a nice man got it cheap it cost him 1/3 of the freight cost and it weighted 310kg
Now to get 40 years of oil off the metal and do some rust work

The electric motor

96 kg 11 inch dc series wound monster (with my cell phone on top)

I picked this one because of the size of the truck and it was cheeper than 2 x 9"motors.
as I do not know what the formula is to put  37-43 hp constant to the ice equlivent, I have 3x40hp in my head 120 hp is good enough for me.

the cable 95mm2
the batteries will be lead acid for now 24 of them to make 144v
and a solution 1 controller (to get soon)

Parts getting

I have been getting some parts as I do the rust work on the truck,
so far I have got the motor so I can mount it to the gearbox,
the cable 9 meters I gessed as the minimum I will need,
I also got the connectors that go onto the cable to bolt onto the batteries.
That's all for now as I need to save to pay for the controller.
It is hard to have the drive and passion just not the time as it is the bizze season at work roll on winter.

the strip down part two

Got the right guard off the truck and fixed the rust just above the headlight, It was fixed with bog by someone so i needed to put steel in the hole.
I took the door hinges to work to put in new pins as the doors had to much movement .

i got an email the other day with a nice photo of the motor on the gearbox,
the motor and gearbox fit together so well it only needed a 1mm spacer on the bolts between the gearbox and the bellhousing

and the drive keyed onto the motor(right) spline on the gearbox (left)
