4wd IH build

[Dirtyrat]

It's rough but it's Probibly better of the three. But I haven't tore into it yet to tell.

Doesn't look too bad to me either.... better than what most of you guys have started with! It looks good just as it is!

I started tonight on the cab mounts-

Original plan was it to sit on top of these... I scooted it up that far

It sits in the cab a little bit.... Oh we'll

 

[Tude]

Ok what are the odds the shifter hole is right? Seriously?

 

[Tude]

How bad the rust/cracking was, granted after I cleaned it up... This is the front cab mounts

Not the greatest picture but ehhh.... You get the point

 

[Neverdone]

I think you should hinge the cab so that it will flip up like that for maintenance!!

 

[Tude]

Nah ill pass. It's heavy unloaded.... Much less when I get all the inside junk put in it. And the motor isn't pretty enough to want to show off in any way shape or form.

 

[Neverdone]

that was more a joke than anything........ lol besides big rigs that flip forward and what not usually use a jack correct?!?!

 

[Tude]

I thought you were meaning to tilt back not forward. I don't really know if they do or not, we haven't had a cab over for 20 years or better and don't really remember..... The clip may be a flip nose, haven't got that far but it sure would make doing ANYTHING on it easier since I may have 1 inch to work with at most

Tude tell them about sending the Henry J to the crusher gods....

 

[Tude]

Ya I had to do that sadly.... I needed to pay the bills and put food on the table, and it was the worst thing I had with no title. It was rotted to the middle of the headlights.... I did save a few things off of it though so don't hate me that bad.

 

[Tude]

Tonight's project was to fix this-

Well almost done

I ran out of time and had to pick the little one up...... Maybe more tommarow....[

 

[Tude]

Well here's some updates... Ya it's not much....

And I found a 205 transfer case I forgot I picked up a few years ago

 

[Tude]

I picked up a couple cool shift knobs a couple weeks ago, so since I couldn't go to the shop and I didn't have much to do tonight.... I did some painting.... They are not done but it's a start.....

And the other one.... Ya I'm a morbid mo-fo....

 

[Neverdone]

I see nothing wrong with those!!!!!!!!!
