Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Doug...i finally broke down a couple yrs ago and bought a jd-squared bender and dies....I had always used a bender that I made some 25yrs ago...it worked ok but was slow..not content to leave the new bender alone I modified it by removing all the manual ratchet system and adding a air over hydraulic cylinder to it and changing it from horizontal to vertical bending direction..it's designed to be anchored to the floor or a work table and required a solid anchor to operate the rachet...I built it where it's self contained and relies on no anchor...got it on wheels so I can roll it to wherever I need it...and roll it out to the way when not in use...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I just read through your build on this. Great work! I need to look around these pages more... I haven't ever been to this section! Glad I found your project here.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I didn't think youd miss 2 of em...hahaha....you only had about 40 left over
the 2in spacer was needed because of the longer snout and pushrod on the hydroboost..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well ive been trying to keep up some progress...I've got most of the drivetrain done..I've been waiting on a 3 lever shifter boot to get here so I can finish it up..the IH has 3 levers and a shifter stuck thru the floorboard..these shifters never had boots on them..all they had was flat rubber with slits in it for the lever movement..
So I've been working on the valve cover adapters...here's the progress so far...I started with some 1/4×6 alum flat bar...I traced the outline of the valve and cut it out...then I cut out the center to fit snuggly over the LS valve cover..they will sit on the lip of the LS valve cover..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Here the adapters are on the valve covers in place to check for clearances..
I cut the inside hole so that it fits snuggly over the LS cover..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I had to make a bushing for my transfer punchs to mark the valve covers holes to the aluminum..this holds it centered in the hole..the punch tips kept the punch higher than the vc hole.so this solved that issue

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Here's the valve covers mounted up on the plates...
I'm using 12pt stainless bolts to hold em in place..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I've also been working on making a 3 bolt LS throttle to Holley 4150 adapter..
Started with a piece of 1/2×6×6-1/2 piece of aluminum..first I bored the center out on the lathe..not having a mill handy I had to resort to a bandsaw to cut the outer shape...then I transferred all the holes over and drilled em out...I also had to make some gaskets for both sides...still have to mount the map sensor...it'll go where the -x- is on the throttle..and then into the plenum..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I hear ya about the purists. I used to have a couple of Studebakers that I did a bunch of custom stuff to. The local Studebaker club absolutely despised me, haha.
That's a great idea on the adapter plate. I really like what you've done with this truck.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I got a buddy with a 49 ford p/u with a amc engine and dodge drivetrain...he gets snubbed for it...some people...
I'm stealing all this adapter stuff from dayj1's build...he's already done a setup like this..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Also since the IH valve covers will have the LS oil fill buried, I added a oil fill to the valley cover...it's a holley brand weld in ...I had to add a IH sticker to it though...

Stellar approach, and execution on those valve covers. Strong idea, as well as strong work. No matter what we builder/modifiers do to our projects someone will inform you in detail how badly you destroyed value as well as authenticity. Fandamtastic. keep on keepin on!!!! Nutty and getting worse...Case
