Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Yep Dale...sure does...but....
I couldn't stand it any longer...I talked to my hotrod buddy with the tig welder and we discussed the best way to do this...we were considering doing 4-4in holes in the tank and then sandblasting thru the holes...then we decided it wouldnt be any more welding to just cut the end off the tank....4- 4in holes equals 4ft of welded seam...the tank is 12x12 equaling 4ft of weld....potaters or patotters...all the same...but easier to redo with the end off.... SO....I broke out the matabo and off came the end....now you can see what I was seeing...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
In this pic you can see how clean the bottom got with the vinegar....wish it would have worked on the whole tank...but I'll blast it..then tig weld the end back on.pressure test and if good I'll add the lining material I have...and I should be good....fingers crossed....

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Yep, it's a bit on the nasty side. I'm glad you have buddy that tig welds. The tank should be better than a new one.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well I think I finally got a handle on the gas tank...after cutting the end off I worked on the worse build up with a flap disc on my 4-1/2" grinder...that built up mess was nearly 1/8" thick...no challenge for the flapper though...I got what I could reach,,,then took the tank to work and got it in the soda blaster at work...(like a professional sandblaster but with baking soda)...that pealed the rest out and now I've got a clean tank..
Also thought this would be a ideal time to add some tank baffles...so I made a couple of those out of some 1/16 stainless....I'll get those welded in and get the end welded back on and put the liner in the tank..and itll be good..

Looks great. The baffles are a great idea too. Another problem solved...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Got the baffles welded in ...I purposely made them about a inch bigger than the tank side 2 side....this was so I could bend the ends at angles...the pressure that the angles put on the ends helped hold them in place while I welded...a few heavy tacks and now I got baffles...ideally I would have put 3 in the tank but I couldn't reach far enough in the tank to get one on the other side of the sending unit..so 2 should work better than none...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Worked on gauge wiring a little bit...I'm using these dt style connectors to make it easier to install the dash when the time comes....still have the sensor side of the gauge to wire up but these worked perfect for the dash lights...there will be 3 plugs when I'm done..should be much easier than dealing with individual wires like before

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Heres something that's been bugging me...I wanted to add a center cap to the rear wheels
I've tried contacting uswheel several times and they will not respond...they show a center cap that fits the wheels I have...problem is they dont/wont fit...and I cant find any that are the same size as the wheel hub center... .and since I couldn't find a full float 14bolt ,I settled for a semi float 14bolt....I've always like look of the bolt in axles the full float has... This is what it looks like as a plain jane...
