34 Hot Rod Pickup

woah. Thats looking tight. Id leave it right like that. And cruise for all its got in it

There is a ton of work done and a bit more to be done, I prefer to have it complete before driving the crap out of it. I just can't see doing it half way, that's why it has a harvester power plant instead of a sbc. Thanks for the comps.
 
I spoke with Mark clawson today "clawson interments" he is restoring and converting the 34 gauges to 12vdc. I am looking forward to getting them back. He is a nice guy and the cost is much less than most on the net. Deal is I wanted the factory gauges, keeping the triple diamond logos that are on the faces, and also so it did not look like I redid the dash with a credit card.

Looks like the guages are about three weeks out.

The truck looks great, but I want to know about the (tool box?) in the background with the 800 clip on it!

I really like what your style. Doing the triple diamond proud!

What you talking about willis:sosp: I got tons of scouts and Scout stuff. You will need to more specific.

It's a close up of "a bad ass IH power plant". In the back ground is the front half of a red 800 clip on top of a black box.

I was wondering if it was the top of a costume tool box or a piece of future wall art. From the angle of the picture it doesn't appear to be a whole clip. The fenders look cut down.

Awesome engine man. Very clean looks. Im an IH purist under the hood so its nice to see a rod that doesnt have a chubber or furd block in it. Great great work. Cant wait to see the finished result

It is a Scout bar, the hood raises from the rear like a real Scout. I also have a rear section cut down for a couch in my office. They are part of my harvester man cave. For the people that haven't seen it my bride has really stepped up my office with lots of very old classic International pictures, also old hit and miss motor. She even has moved my IH refrigerator in there.

Perhaps you could do a thread on these items for us. I know your busy, but I'm sure there are a lot of harvester fans that would love to see them!

I posted a link, the bp has a ton of info about the stuff gary has made. I will contact him and see if I can persuade him to do an info thread.

By the way International Harvester is a deep well when you dip you toe in.

Here's the hard part. I have a cash offer of 20,000 for the hot rod as it sits so I will be thinking about hard for a bit.
