Love them 5 windows. You have talent so I can't wait to see this.
I wish I could find cab corners for my R-102. I may just find something close enough to shape and hack them up to fit but they typically are not very cheap. I assume a strecher wouldnt work to curve them because of the radius on the bottom instead of a sharper corner. anyone ever make a wood buck and hammer them out?

I don't know where you could find the 54 IH cab corners. Like you said, might be able to use something else that would be close.
I had a lot of traffic in the shop today but, still was able to get the floorboard in ![]() |

Pretty clean old cab. A great jumping off spot
I like being able to see out the rear corners

When I lowered the lid of my 48 Thriftmaster 5 window, I made new corner glass by laying 1/4 Lexan I had cut in the correct shape, over the original glass in a kitchen oven on 250 degrees until the Lexan melted and took the shape of the original glass. Looked like original. Sounded different if tapped on.

The kick panels had a line of rust through them so, I made a pair yesterday and installed the drivers side.
I'm going to leave the air vent in the side of the drivers fender for ventilation. Rusted New panel, one for each side Positioned on the passenger side Installed on the drivers side and left the internal louvers As soon as I get the passenger side welded in I'll grind the welds smooth ![]() |
