![]() Robert, you usually make a statement with all your builds and this is a huge statement. Although I have nothing against using foreign motors in an IH, there is something very pure about what you are doing. I hope you end up bringing that truck up to oregon for the Binder Bee more than any other IH you have.

![]() Time for an update, I have been working a bunch at the airport so progress has been a little slow. Got the front end mostly together, still need to get one bolt to connect the drag link. But the rest is all done.

![]() Next up folks are wondering about the rolling stock, here is what it will start with. I my change out the wheels latter, thats one of the cool things about the hot rod a wheel change will change the overall look. Also I got the kingpins pressed in, if you have a small shop a press is one of the tools I use most and never thought I even needed one

![]() One more shot from a different position, for the record I had to buy three of the crank opening chrome parts. The ones are always haggard from jerking out the crank back in the day they are oval (fords are round). I also was lucky enough to find a guy that was remaking the mesh, he had them water jeted out of stainless and I had it powder coated. I wanted it black to contrast the chrome and white.

![]() Well today I got the engine and transmission installed. I will be installing the transmission coolers, and start getting the rear axle ready to install. Here's the picture for the day.

![]() Got the rear axle all cleaned up and a coat of harvester red on it should be able to install it tomorrow. I feel like a commy using an 8.8, but 3:73 disc brake for 150 bones and I needed the 5 on 4.5 bolt pattern to match the front. I will also be installing a nice chrome cover.
Although it does look different the paint is the same as the engine, should darken up as it dries.

![]() These axles have a nice disc brake set up, and I hear they are very strong. The hot rod will be very light so I think the axle will be fine also the rear is set up with coil overs and hair pins so wheel hop should not be an issue.
