***Update*** Due to some unforeseen financial problems I had to sell the International. I only sold the cab and bed so hopefully I will be starting a new project before to long!

After a long break i've blown the dust off the IH rat project and ready to get started back on it!

lookin good, can't wait to see the finished product!

In the corner collecting dust and has been a good catch all for quite awhile now. We just moved and things are startin to get back to normal and the new job is goin good so I'm ready to get back on it. Hopefully have some updates soon.

I still have it, been really busy with a couple job changes and a recent move and family stuff now that everything is gettin back to normal I plan to get back on it!

Sweet binder, I would love to find one like that!

Nice ride! Lots of IH projects since the last time I was on!

Way cool IH! Really nice build. Keep those pics commin, I'll be following this build!

Truck is lookin good bro!

I wished I would come across a pile of 350's for free!!! :D I spend a lot of time on my hot rod too and just because a 350 sbc isn't appealing to you doesn't mean its not to others. One thing I like about the 350's is when I take it on a long trip and I'm out in bfe if something breaks any...

Well I'm a chevy guy and always have been so I'm going to put what I like in it. Besides I plan on putting a lot of miles on it and want it to be reliable so that leaves out a ford motor! :D

I've done that a few times and know what its like so I feel your pain! I've been to the ER a couple of times for a nasty case of welders eye and that don't feel too good either! Needless to say I wear a hood 99.9% of the time now! About a year ago I was welding patch panels on a 85 chevy swb and...

Truly sorry to hear about your misfortune, I hope everything works out for you and your kids. As far as the IH goes, it sounds like you got a good plan, just keep collecting parts so when you do get back to it you will have most of what you need. Good luck!

Its looking good up to this point. You haven't posted in awhile, is things still moving forward on the project?
