New guy w/ 37 IH rat in Pgh, PA

[Bullit68]

Thought I would join here and drop a pic of my '37 IH. I've done a few things since this pic, had to add some turn signals, a working wiper, fan shroud, king pins, to get it road ready for spring. It's a 37 D-2 cab and grille on a '52 Chev 3600 chassis, 54 GMC bed. 350 eng, all else 52 chev running gear. -Don

Heavy Duty!

I like the hood ornaments on the firewall .

 

[Bullit68]

they are from a 57 chevy hood

 

[Bullit68]

And yes, heavy duty. Too heavy. I am getting some brackets and hairpins to change front axle to suicide style, get rid of the springs up front. Then hopefully change out the rear end also.

Welcome Don. I'm also Don and also from Pittsburgh (originally). Pennsylvania must have finally relaxed their antiquated motor vehicle laws, I left there because I could never get my hot rods inspected..........well that, and the fact I hate freezing my tail off in January.

Thanks for the welcome Don. The laws here have changed, somewhat. I don't have my truck on the road yet, but haave been back and forth with the guys from the "Enhanced" inspection station. They are being helpful on this build, and I will have to get the street rod plate for the truck. As far as the freezing part, yep, 36 inches of snow this month so far, along with lower than normal temps. This weather blows. -Don
