Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Yes I would put some dielectric compound on there if you have some. I am glad that it is all working for you. I got tied up yesterday and didn't have a chance to dig for my older manuals.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Put the wiper motor back together..added the dielectric grease to it..so it should be good to go..
...they finally got us some help on the off shift at work so that should help ease up on the overtime some...thank goodness..This was my long weekend off from work....But I spent the whole weekend doing mostly notruck stuff...its just so dang hot/humid...miserable i tell ya.. Still got a little more wiring done though...i needed to put the front end together so I could route the headlight/turn signal wiring in and around the various places it goes...so I grabbed a pic of it in place...hopefully this wont have to come back off..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Looking good!
I hear you on the hot/humid! The folks that don’t get the 95/95 days just cannot appreciate how miserable it is to try and do anything during the heat of the day.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks 67c and Scott....its amazing at how fast your energy level can go from wide open to 0....
Somebody else told me the humidity in Colorado was about 8%...that would be unreal...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Nice progress. It kind of reminds me of the tow truck from the Cars movie so hurry up and hang some fenders. Kidding of course.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Your work on that truck is awesome. The truck is looking great. Very thought out.
You are right about the heat, when it gets that hot and humid, sit in the shade and you can survive in shorts and a t-shirt. Try that when its freezing outside.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
When I diseasembled the truck I saved all the little clips and things...plan was to clean and paint and reuse them...these clips were used to hold the brake/tail light wiring to the frame and also the fuel line to the frame...while doing the wiring I got the clips out to beadblast and got to wondering if I could just find new ones...well they still make them...they're called push on wire clips...I got these from wire depot, but theyre all over Ebay and other places...I got 3 sizes small, med ,large,,,,I doubt I'll use the small ones but who knows..I may find a use for them..
The clips in the bottom of the pic were used to hold the wiring to the inner fenders,...I'm not using those again ,as im running the wiring in the least visible spots I have....

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I also picked up these terminal strips...rated at 600v 25a...I figured these would be good for all my switch on and ground connections...i like the barrier strips and that they're covered also...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Sandblasted and painted the bumper mounts and bolts...
oh well, theres 6 more IH logo bolts headed to a obscure place where no one will ever see them... one of the mounts was in good condition...the other was a total mess..if you remember how bad the bumper was , well the mount was just as bad..it was bent so bad I couldnt get the bolts out of it..a little heating with the torch and a lot of bending and hammering, and having to weld up a 1 inch long crack and I've got it back in good shape...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Getting down to the small stuff. You are almost there!
When are you going on the cross country trip to show it off to the world?
