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.

 

[jetfxr]

Maybe

 

[jetfxr]

Or this, as you said toooo many projects going

 

[jetfxr]

Oh the real one.

 

[IHRunner]

maybe

Woah! IH made m1 garand. Those babies are hard to come by. We had a 54 IH model and a 55 h&r

 

[jetfxr]

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.

 

[FDChappie]

$20k is nice, but that puppy is priceless. Good luck on your deliberations.

 

[Scooter]

Gues all the hard work might pay off. not sure what I would do either if I had that kind of offer on my 51 studebaker truck.

 

[Brucekoukalaka]

I would grab the cash and start over

 

[jetfxr]

Cab and bed are out for sandblasting, bottim line I would hate to die with a pocket full of cash and have a bunch of stuff I wanted to do. I will keep it, I really think it has already been through it's depresation cycle anyway. Plan was all along to put a real fine paint job on it so all the mock up is done and it will be at the paint shop for a bit then hope to be riding this spring.

I am pressing to get a few other winter projects out, this is the time of year my wife and I bond in the shop. Cool thing is this is my junk so do it the way I like. Here's the tette with a cummins going in. It is also getting, power steps, power windows, power door locks, ac, cruse, back up camera, heated seats, air ride w/in cab controls, and a killer radio with xm.

Please keep us informed on your t'ette progress. I have a '71 in need of some work soon.

 

[jetfxr]

Life gets in the way sometimes, been busy as a one arm man in a prize fight. Got the 34 back from paint, still looking for the box but the rest is done, will be layin dmat doing the wiring and lines.

 

[Scooter]

Sweet!!! Looks good

 

[jetfxr]

One more sorry about being so dark.

 

[jetfxr]

Pressure is on to get this thing running and driving for the rmihr

 

[jetfxr]

Here is shot from front, getting the wiring and plumbing done.

 

[IHRunner]

Hope to see this at rmihr this year. Not sure anything would take center stage away from a redrod

 

[FDChappie]

Thanks for my daily fix of IH porn! Can't wait to see it done.

 

[jetfxr]

Well it's been a little longer than I had thought but here are the updates. Gauges are in and working. As you can see always use a sharp drill a little touch up is required on the dash.

 

[jetfxr]

Need to get the carpet fitted up but the cow seat and door panels look great if I do say so.

 

[jetfxr]

Engine and tranny work like a sewing machine, exhaust sounds bad ass and the truck is faster than I care to drive at top end it would be scary

Looking good Robert! Is that the new aluminum intake ? Jeff
