Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
With all the ot I've had its hard to get motivated and get anything done..so I'm trying to get my 5min in wherever I can ..I needed to get the steering operational, so after painting the column I went ahead and stuck it together..
Somewhere way back I redid the firewall mount that holds the column..I bought a column saver to do this and of course they dont make them in a 2-1/8"..so I bought a 2-1/4" and made a spacer for it..well when i got ready to put it together i couldn't find my spacer.. sometimes around here its easier to just make something new rather than look for what I already made.. But when i was looking at it i thought ,why not just make a new swivel insert that's the correct size and not have the spacer..so that's what happened.. 1.Old insert and spacer... 2.Old insert vs new 3.And installed.. Yaaah..!!!...I can turn the wheels from inside the cab...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Second ideas are sometimes best anyway. As usual, looks fantastic.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Another 5 minutes......spread out over 2 hrs..
I dont know how many times I've sprayed these dash panels, but I hope it's the last time.. They were sandblasted epoxied,highbuild, rattle can painted at least twice Sanded back down and painted with a gun and now redone that again twice.. They looked good till I chipped the glovebox..when I repainted it I had some kind of reaction and the paint krinkled up.. So I sanded it all back down and epoxied,high build and paint..again hopefully for the last time...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
how is the new gun working out? My HF gun was alot cheaper than yours but it layed down really well. The thing I didnt like was it would loose its settings when you cleaned it. I mean that you knew it was out say 1 turn and the next time it would be 7/8 turn. Not a big deal but you kept a test piece nearby every time. Once it was dialed back in the paint layer out perfect. I was shooting single stage Nasson.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
We're supposed to be in 105 range this week. I'm feeling a cabin trip coming. It's supposed to be in the eighties there.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
well I been trying to get most of the in-cab stuff installed before I start pulling wires...(uhhgg I dread that)..
so today I put the 2 halves of my heater box together and the plan was to get it installed...when I got to looking I realized I needed to go ahead and hook up the cowl vent control cables..once the heater is in, theres no way to get to the one on the pass side..so I got the cables in and went to my box of gal ziplock bagged parts to get the little clamps that hold the cables in place..found them...and when I did there was a gal bag with big sharpie writing on it that said ( glove box latch and parts)..big as day...yep the latch that I have been looking for ,for the last 3weeks was right there in front of me...been thru that box 4or5 times and coudnt find them so I got all exicted about finding it and not wanting to misplace that latch again, I installed it before I could lose it....again the glove box doors on these trucks fit like crap..and always have..so I'm gonna make some shims and try to get it to line up better..i can push up on the bottom of the door and it lines up near perfect , so maybe some shims will work the heater will have to wait another day...sounds funny installing a heater in this kind of 90+weather..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well we had a cold spell blow threw today..the shop was a nice cool 96deg today....yea!!
Ain't nothing like laying under a dash with sweat running into your eyes I made a couple of shims to try and get the glove box to line up better...wound up using a 1/8" shim on the pass side glove box support, and that got it close...then I bent the hinge a slight amount ...I've got it about as close as its gonna get..the dash contours dont match exactly so I had to hit it in the middle ground... Also got the heater in and had the bright idea I was gonna use acorn nuts on the firewall side..didnt realize the studs were fine thread...shoulda known..I'm not gonna use the old extremely rusty star washers so I'll have to pick some up along with some new nuts..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Also stuck the seat and gauge cluster back in ..hopefully seeing it together will help motivate me
Also gave me a chance to adj the steering wheel for "clearance"...got it where it feels good..I can adj it in and out as needed now with the new column mounts..
