Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
2 would be easier. I trust your skills with the 4th one. Why not go for it?

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
well i got in the new led shop lights to replace the old florescent bulbs with.
got 4 installed today..they are much much brighter than the 20yr old bulbs i had,,but they dont flood the light outward like the old ones..im sure ill get used to it..or may add another row in the middle..time will tell these are 8ftrs that have 6- 4ft led bulbs in them before and after

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Robert..finally got all the new LEDs up..still trying to get used to them as they dont really flood the light like the old florescents did.but they're definitely brighter..!!
Also during the parents house remodel, I had turned my temporary paint booth into a temporary cabinet shop..so I washed it out real good and laid some of the old plastic back down.. Getting ready to respray the bedliner.. Decided to build me a A frame with a 2x4 crossbar..to use for painting and such I didnt like the way I had to do it the last time.. So Heres another , didnt much happen this week update.. Finally got the bed and tailgate all taped up and ready to respray... Tailgate is hanging on the new A-frame rig..this is much better than the way I did it last time..and should be useful for future projects.. After talking to the linerextreme guy, we concluded what part of my issues were the last time I tried this.. The real mess started when i couldnt keep the hopper on the gun, as it turned out, there was a rubber coupler between the hopper and the gun, similar to a piece of radiator hose..when the liner came in contact with it ,it had a reaction and turned the rubber to a slimy piece of crap..that's why tightening the clamps had no affect, and resulted. in the hopper coming off and making the mess I'm trying to fix now.. He recommended the harbor freight hopper gun, said it was the same one he sells..and no rubber coupling I decided to wait a few more days to spray this..its supposed to be in the mid 70s by fri..that way I wont have to turn the shop heat on and use up that high$$$ gas I just got... Also did a little wiring..tying up some loose ends that I'd left before..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Also I couldnt stand letting the new project go untouched..
So today I pulled the cover off the travelall and started pulling the chrome off.. Since theres no rush or anything on it, I thought itd be easier to go ahead and get some off this stuff knocked out early.. Pulled both bumpers, grill ,and headliner bows..gonna send them off to elpaso next week..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
That reminds me of "if it weren't for bad luck..." line.
Do you like the work from El Paso? I've thought about using them on a grill.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Regan and Dale ...trying to get remotivated and going is hard..
Robert, I was very Impressed with elpaso after the work they did on my bumper.. All the chrome work they did looks great, it's not cheap, but there are very few alternatives in the IH world...if it was a Chevy, you could get new parts cheaper

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well...I put it off as long as I could..
Hung a new light in moms kitchen,..made 30lbs of summer sausage, ...watched Hondo.. Finally decided the only way to get it done was just do it... So I repsrayed the bedliner... This time it went almost flawless...when I started ,I sprayed the sides 1st...I did one side ..spun around in to big of a hurry and sloshed about 1/2 a cup of liner out all over the unsprayed bedside..DANG IT!!!!!!!... So I grabbed a rag soaked in lacquer thinner and wiped it right off...no harm no foul.. When that happened all I could think was , here I go again... But from there on it went good.... This time I'm pleased with the results.. And you know what..this time I didnt get high as a kite off the fumes.. I had the right respirator cartridges on my mask... I realized how good those worked when I pulled the mask off to get a drink if water..wow those fumes are ruff..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Greg, the bed liner spray came out looking great. Kinda wish I had went with a matching truck color when I had my bed sprayed with the Line-ex bed spray.
Good choice in having the original bumpers re-chromed. Probably not a lot of after market support of the IH trucks I'd guess.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Gary ...I talked to linex about spraying the bed color match..they wanted $1k to do it..
I was like wow...!... Even though I had to do it twice, I've got much much less in mine.. Yes its aggravating, its messy, it's got bad fumes,....but its done.. I just didnt think it would look right if it wasnt color matched .. It wont see much use anyway.. And yeah..had to do the travelall chrome also.. I got a quote the other day for the bumpers,grill,bows and front emblem..prices have gone up some since last time...no surprise there.. I've also supposedly bought another grill for the travelall that's painted..I'll sand blast it and paint it white The travelall will be two tone with the top being white..I got the rims back from the powder coaters the other day, had those done in matte white, so the grill may look better being white..at least I'll have choices..chrome or white Gonna ship all that out this week.. Its hard to do anything with no aftermarket support, but such is life in the IH world

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
WARNING ALERT!!!!!!!!..
This is a warning to everyone with a lift.. Im trying to keep my mind occupied , so I sanded the cab to get ready for paint..found some spots that will need reprimed.., that comes later while I was at it, I thought I'd look to see what it was gonna take to do exhaust , so i ran the truck up on the lift Scoped out what needs done, and was gonna let the truck back down to ground level..just dont like leaving it unattended, 6ft off the ground..so, I hit the start button to release the lock...when I let off the button..it kept going.. Believe me the upper safety bar has no effect when the contactor is stuck....before I could run across the shop and pull the breaker, the damage was done.. I think there is a crease on the top of the cab...dont know for sure..to mad to look...and i know the cowl section is bent.. As if I needed any more drama in my life right now.... There WILL be a disconnect mounted on my lift right beside the go button, before it gets turned back on.. I hit the contact several times with a hammer before it came loose.. So a new contactor will also be orderd..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
That sucks! I hope the damage isn't as bad as you fear.
Will you wire the disconnect in at the switch? I'd like to see where and how you do that.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Robert and Dale ..
I havnt looked at the cab roof yet...scared to..gotta cool down 1st..but I could see the safety bar at the top of the lift had a arch in it when the truck was all the way up...and I had my tall spacers on the lift arms..that didnt help any..if the shorties had been on it ,it probably never would have hit the bar.. At 1st when I realized what was happening, I pulled the bleed down valve...but the pump was putting more fluid out than the valve would bleed off...and it kept going up The disconnect will be in the 2 power wires between the breaker panel and the contactor.. Gotta see what lowes has ...
