How to lengthen the body of a gazelle with your own hands

Our company produces all types of conversion of Gas 33023 Gazelle Farmer trucks, including from us you can extend the frame and buy any flatbed body, Euro-platform or van of all types and sizes. Here you can extend the gazelle Gas 33023 to accommodate the installation of a body of the following length:

4.2 m – the wheelbase is extended by 600 mm (up to 3500 mm).
5.2 m – the wheelbase is extended by 1300 mm (up to 4200 mm).
6.2 m – the wheelbase is extended by 1850mm (up to 4750mm).
6.6 m – the wheelbase is extended by 2350 mm (up to 5250).

When extending the frame, extension inserts made of special high-strength steel are used, which are mounted on the frame with rivets, the electrical wiring and brake system are also lengthened, the driveshaft is lengthened and balanced, and at the customer’s request, a number of frame reinforcements can be made, which will significantly increase the reliability of the chassis.

To lengthen the gazelle farmer Gas 33023, all the same technologies and components are used as for a regular gazelle, and this conversion differs only in that, due to the farmer part of the cabin, a body one meter shorter is installed on the same wheelbase. From the point of view of the work procedure, lengthening a gazelle is somewhat more complicated for a farmer, especially if we are talking about re-lengthening a factory chassis with a three-meter body, since a very difficult job is added in knocking out short inserts of extensions, in the place of which longer ones are then mounted. Like a regular gazelle, you can install the following on an extended farmer:

Open side body

Eurovan with awning and gate

Manufactured goods or isothermal van

Auto shop or bread van

Registration of extension in the traffic police

Lengthening a farmer's gazelle is a type of conversion that is carried out in accordance with a number of established requirements and which is subject to mandatory registration in the technical department of the traffic police. Here, each owner can choose between doing the registration themselves or using our services. In the latter case, we will take on all the necessary actions: we will order all the necessary payment documents, obtain permission from the traffic police, show the car for technical inspection before and after the conversion, receive documents about the conversion and make a note in the title. In this case, the presence of the owner is not necessary; he will only have to come and pick up the completely finished and decorated car. And yet, if you are planning to lengthen the gazelle farmer and arrange the conversion, then we recommend using our services in a complex - this is guaranteed to save time and effort that will be spent on independent trips to the traffic police and other authorities involved in the preparation of the necessary documents.

Modernization process

To lengthen the Gazelle frame, specialists carry out the following work:

Diagram with dimensions for extending the Gazelle frame

calculating the size of the standard frame;
dismantling various components and assemblies from the vehicle;
making 2 frame cuts;
Channels are installed in the cut areas, the extended base is fixed to the standard frame with bolts;
assembly of dismantled parts and assemblies;
extension of the driveshaft, cargo platform, brake fluid hoses and rear optics wiring;
installation of a new cable for the handbrake.

With the help of such tuning, the length of the body can reach 4.5 or 6 m. Such dimensions allow you to transport any cargo (volume 20-35 cubic meters). Lengthening the Gazelle frame has its disadvantages:

Gazelle truck frame extension dimensions

reducing the vehicle's carrying capacity;
high risk of cracks in the tuned frame;
re-registration of vehicles with the traffic police;
increased load on the engine and rear axle;
fuel consumption increases.

After lengthening the frame, the vehicle's wheelbase increases by 600 mm and the overhang by 460 mm. At the same time, functionality increases and the technical characteristics of the Gazelle are improved. Since the “new” car remains a light truck, the technical data sheet does not change after lengthening the body. The Gazelle frame is lengthened taking into account the dimensions of the cargo being transported. To transport furniture and large household appliances, it is recommended to extend the Gazelle to 6 m.

In this case, the channel is installed using rivets. This connection, unlike a conventional screw connection, is more reliable and durable. When carrying out such tuning, special attention is paid to additional components of the vehicle - springs, elements of the braking system.

You can lengthen the body of the Gazelle for the subsequent installation of a car shop, a workshop van or a mobile car service. In the latter case, you can provide car service services directly on the highway, where there are no competitors. You can install a shop van or an “express cafe” on the extended base of a Gazelle light truck with your own hands. A common mistake is to independently lengthen a Gazelle of any modification by installing rear springs.

Modification "Farmer"

Before lengthening the body of the Gazelle “Farmer”, the frame structure is studied. It consists of 2 longitudinal spars and transverse elements. An insert is used to extend the frame. The cabin is installed through rubber cushions. The side extended platform is mounted on special elements.

The engine of the tuned Gazelle "Farmer" is fixed by 3 points - the gearbox and with the help of rubber cushions located on the front crossmember.

Springs and a gas tank are fixed to the elongated frame. Brake pipes and electrical wiring to the rear lights are laid inside the structure. The design of the extended Gazelle modification “Farmer” will be reliable if the assembly is carried out correctly. But before lengthening the Gazelle, experts take into account its standard carrying capacity.

An example of fastening an extended Gazelle frame

To lengthen the Gazelle efficiently, it is recommended to pay special attention to the geometry of the frame structure and fastening elements. When assembling the structure, the cabin, body, engine and other components must be well secured. If, during the operation of the extended Gazelle “Farmer” base, cracks appear in the frame, then welding work is carried out. If you have a welding machine and experience working with it, repairs can be done yourself. Otherwise, you will need to contact a mechanic for help.

To weld an elongated frame, a diamond-shaped overlay is made from a 3-4 mm sheet. A semi-automatic machine is more often used for welding a structure. To register a Gazelle “Farmer” with a welded frame at the traffic police, you will need to provide a certificate of work performed from a car service center.

Conversion of gazelle farmer, Gas 33023: lengthening and re-extension of the frame, production and installation of bodies of all types and sizes.

The ServiceCenterAuto company has been lengthening trucks of all brands for a long time. One of the most popular directions is the extension of the gazelle farmer Gas 33023.

Gazelle dump truck with 402 engines - logbook GAZ Gazelle 2000 on DRIVE2

Hi all! A week ago I assembled a dump truck for a gazelle, or rather a dump body already existed, I needed to install a pump and everything else. On this gazelle, the body was lifted by the nsh-10 paired with a starter from the zil. But after 3-4 lifts of the load - 200, the battery was drained to zero, and it did not have time to charge (according to the owner of the car). Having seen my dump truck on a UAZ www.drive2.ru/r/uaz/419782/ we agreed with him about the modification.

Motor 402. On the head, on two side studs, I hung the Gura Maz (Kraz) mounting bracket; I just replaced the 2-groove pulley on it with a pulley with one groove. The pump is new nsh32 hydrosila. The drive will be a belt from the crankshaft.

Next, I welded a tee to the pump outlet. A ball valve is installed at one end. the valve is closed - the oil goes to the hydraulic distributor, then to the tank. the tap is open - the oil goes into the tank, bypassing the distributor. Thus, when opening The crane removes the load from the motor and there is no need to remove the belt. The crane is driven by a cable for UAZ Bobik blinds. It has a lock.

the tap is open

blind cable handle. the tap is open

the valve is closed, oil flows through the distributor

tap closed, distributor on

The distributor was used with the T-16. 2-section distributor. Without lever position lock. The distributor was installed on the left side of the gearbox mounting traverse. I made a slot in the interior and installed a handle from a 15*15 square pipe. Of course, everything will be painted, a knob will be installed on the handle and a boot.

The tank is homemade, it works locally. I installed it instead of the battery, and moved the battery down. I couldn't find any other place for the tank, because... the pump stands high, but for some reason the oil does not flow upward by gravity). Under the tank and battery, I welded a bracket from a 20*40 pipe, which I attached to the old mount of the battery strip and the cabin spar.

Well, the body itself. Subframe and body support made of 100 channels. The hinge is rotating - a tube in a pipe. Lifting cylinder 4 pieces from the lawn. I'll add more detailed photos a little later.

Basically everything. All that remains is to hang the belt and stretch the hoses. We are waiting for the owner of the car to receive his salary. When I finish everything - a report from me with a video.

Good luck to everyone!

Types of extension.

We propose to lengthen the gazelle farmer to the following sizes:

· Under 3.1m body: increase in wheelbase by 600mm
· Under 4.2m body: wheelbase extended by 1300mm
· Under 5.1m body: wheelbase change to 1850mm
· Under a 6.2m body: it is necessary to lengthen the wheelbase to 2350mm

Lengthening a farmer's gazelle includes lengthening the frame, cardan, wiring and brake system. The farmer's gazelle frame is extended using extension inserts made of high-strength steel 09G2S, which are fastened to the frame with rivets, providing the most reliable connection. To lengthen the gazelle farmer by large amounts (by 1850mm and 2350mm for a body of 5m and 6m, respectively), you need to make a number of reinforcements, which is especially important if fairly heavy loads will be transported. Such reinforcements include reinforcement under the cab, reinforcement at the extension point, reinforcement of the body base, reinforcement of springs, etc. For more information on strengthening the frame of a gazelle, please call our specialists.

Assembly and running-in

When all damage has been eliminated, you can begin assembling the engine. It is carried out in reverse order.

Run-in is carried out only when hot, so that the engine can run without load and in different modes. Then let it cool and adjust the valves. That's it, the engine is ready for further work.

Bodywork superstructures.

Our organization not only carries out lengthening of the farmer's gazelle, we produce vans and bodies of various types, such as:

· Open side body with metal, galvanized or aluminum sides;
· Curtain Eurovan (Europlatform) with swing gates;
· Manufactured goods van
· Isothermal van
· Van auto shop
· Bread van
· Van workshop, etc.

All types of vans can be purchased separately or installed on an extended chassis. We provide the opportunity to manufacture a body or van of the required size and take into account all customer wishes. So, for example, a Euro-platform for a gazelle farmer can be made up to 6.2 m long, up to 2.25 m wide and up to 2.5 m high, thereby significantly increasing the cubic capacity and the ability to transport goods in Euro pallets.

Registration procedure.

To lengthen a gazelle, a farmer must go through the procedure established by law for making changes to the design of vehicles, which is described in more detail in our block of articles. However, if you find this difficult or do not want to waste your time and effort on “paper wars,” then we provide turnkey services for the complete conversion of a vehicle to the traffic police department.

Detailed information on all questions of interest can be obtained from our specialists by phone, email or Skype. You can also come to our office and get acquainted with our production and finished works.

Cabin

In itself, repairing the Gazelle cabin with your own hands is not particularly difficult or requires specific skills. Here, rather, slowness, accuracy and internal safety are needed.

You need to start repairing the cabin by cleaning and inspecting it. Then remove the mirrors and disconnect all electrical wiring. After this, remove all fastening bolts and dismantle the cabin onto the stand or pallets.

Use a grinder to cut off the areas of greatest corrosion. Dents and bulges are smoothed out with a hammer and a lid. All irregularities are carefully puttied and smoothed with fine-grained sandpaper.

The final stage includes anti-corrosion treatment, painting and polishing. Reassemble in reverse order.

You must always remember that the cockpit is the face of the car. Hence the corresponding requirements for its repair and equipment.

Common mistakes when doing DIY body repairs

The use of electronic welding for fastening body parts does not guarantee the quality of work.
Body parts must be repaired in the following sequence - doors, fenders, sills. Otherwise, gaps may appear and, as a result, repeated dismantling.
The discrepancy between the selected paint and the factory color may indicate the location of the repair.
If you use too thick or unfiltered enamel, unevenness may appear on the surface, so-called. "shagreen".
When using low-quality putty, treating it with coarse sandpaper or short drying time, it may shrink.

Work technology

The most important conditions when carrying out work are consistency and unhurriedness. The repair procedure looks like this:

patches are cut out of the material in shape and size corresponding to the damaged part of the body;
epoxy resin and hardener are mixed in the prepared container in the proportions specified in the instructions;
the first layer of the resulting mixture is applied to the prepared area;
a prepared piece of fiberglass is placed on top and smoothed with a roller impregnated with resin;
when the resin has set, the surface is covered with sandpaper;
the next step is applying putty;
After complete hardening, paint and varnish work is carried out.

Body patches

This repair option is most often carried out on the body of Gas 3110, Gas 69, 24, 3102 and Gazelle, if areas of corrosion are noticeable. Below is a detailed algorithm of actions:

Using a grinder, cut out the rusty area of the body. If the body is so rotten that a hole appears, it should be cut off, adding 1-2 centimeters around the entire perimeter.

Attention. It is advisable to cut the hole evenly, for example, keeping a rectangular or square shape

This is done so that the patch can be installed more conveniently, without problems.

The metal surfaces around the edges of the hole are carefully cleaned. Burrs are also cleaned from inside the hole, which can be easily done with a file;
Then you need to prepare a suitable patch from a piece of steel sheet having a thickness of at least 0.8 mm.

First, the patch is not welded at the corners with a continuous seam, but is only slightly tacked for accuracy;
Then there is a full welding line, welding is carried out with an overlap.

Cleaning seams is a mandatory procedure for welding work;
After this, automotive putty is applied to the work site;
Then the primer is applied, first the starting one and then the finishing one;
The leveled surface is painted in the desired color.

Auto body experts also recommend sealing the weld. Thanks to this, the supplied patch will last for Gas 3110, 69, 24, 3102 and Gazelle much longer. Sealing is an operation to eliminate possible moisture from entering the weld through putty.

In addition, it would be a good idea to carry out anti-corrosion treatment on all seams and the patch itself. This is done before priming or applying putty.

Service life of ZMZ-24 motors

The GAZ 24 engine has excellent endurance and can withstand many abuses from the driver:

fill in different oils, even from Kamaz, mix different oils;
do not check the oil level in the crankcase every time;
overheat the engine;
drive at maximum speed.

Examples demonstrating how durable the ZMZ-24 engine is:

Volga GAZ-24 worked in a taxi, after which they disassembled the engine and saw that clots of liquid resembling solid oil had accumulated around the oil pump, the oil became very thick, and everything under the valve covers was also covered in thick oil. Moreover, the car was sent for repairs not because the engine knocked, but because it was time to do the engine repair, a kind of scheduled maintenance.
The second case, when the engine was repaired in the garage, the problem was that the head gasket was blown, antifreeze began to get into the engine in large quantities, so the oil became completely white, but I still had to drive on this oil. At first the engine growled loudly, but only after 200 km. The antifreeze from the oil pan evaporated and the oil became normal and the engine began to work as it should.
