Darren , think you can find Larry one. .......?

He hauled one from MO to IN this spring. Come to think of it, could be part of the demise of his old truck!
So it's more that his truck balks at carrying a lath , maybe he should just have one delivered.
Especially now since has a new truck.
...my wife yelled out the window, no way that's going in my clean car...
Congrats now how about variable speed ...
Although I have no doubt Darren has the engineering chops to put together a nice EVS system, I personally don't think it would be worth the investment on an old Sears tube-bed lathe. Sort of like putting a Corvette engine in a '74 Chevy Vega.
I did think about doing that Vaughn when I had my 74 vega wagon. LOL

Cool. You should be in business now. A little late on this one, but for future reference, I'd recommend a smaller face plate, made from aluminum. The cast iron will rust if attached to wet or damp wood, and can stain the wood if left attached for any length of time. And as far as size goes, I use 3" face plates most of the time, and have turned heavy 18" diameter pieces with one that size. That size is plenty stable as long as you're using good screws. The bigger plates can sometimes get in the way.
