Re: SMB West Factory Visits

I took a few shots today but don't recall a white one. I'll be back there in a week or so. I'll post some I took pics of.

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Dave, that would be her. Looks like I'm getting wheel spacers in the rear. That must be standard. Didn't know that before now. Hmmm.

Thank you very much for the pics.

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Your van has side visibility lights on the top? Cool. The only one I saw there that had them. If you have the spacers keep them torqued to specs and you'll be OK...lots of people are running them. I'm guessing you don't have the Full Float axle.
Sorry I couldn't get any shots of the inside.

Congrats. Did you pick one of the last diesel vans in SMB's inventory, or did you already own one?

Also, I think that wheel spacers are standard equipment unless you order the dana full floater rear axle option.

Good luck with the remainder of the build.

Re: SMB West Factory Visits

Rob, toured the factory in January and they had 4 diesels left. I booked the deal rig after the tour. It was obvious those diesels wouldn't be around for long.

Next Thursday is delivery day for me. Fortunately I'm so busy right now I can't think about it much. Will be heading straight to DV with it for a shakedown. Hopefully things will go smooth but I've read enough on the forum here to know there might be some bumps. That'll be ok too.

Thanks,

D'

Makes the track width equal to the front. Standard with SMB4x4- better to get a full width full floater sure, but these aren't cheap flashy spacers either.

SMB West Factory Visits

Heading to Fresno tomorrow.
Picked up the last 2010 Diesel EB 350, going out to see the progress.
If anyone would like me to snap some photos of their Rig, just let me know the color.

I'll be at Fresno SMB most of the day tomorrow, (Oct.4) if there is anything I can do for anyone.
