Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Wow, I missed the suspense between your first post yesterday and the end result, but glad to see you got off lucky. In my amateur attempts to manhandle things around working alone in my shop I've managed to create more work for myself a number of times, but fortunately not at a point where I was nearly done with the part. Can only imagine what you were thinking...

Oh crap, what a scary deal! Yep, take it as a sign it's time for a quick disconnect of some kind and a new switch.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Oh no! Another reason I'm buying a wildfire 4 post lift for my shop. I'm just flat out scared of 2 posts...
Do you need to do any paint repair or will the mark buff out?

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Guys, sorry Ive been a little out of the loop for the last week or so..
On December 30, 2021, my Dad made his trip to Heaven.. Many thanks for the support yall have shown over the yrs of this build His medical issues just kept piling up til his body could no longer take it He was very alert to the end...but he was ready to come home so he could go home..even though we all knew the outcome of him being unplugged and leaving the ICU, we made sure his wishes were fulfilled.. I've been blessed to have him as a part of my life.. I was also very fortunate to have a chance to tell him what happened to his truck...that alone lifted his spirits to a unbelievable high..even not being able to walk, he wanted to go work on it with me..we set the tailgate and tag on the desk at the foot of the hospice bed,so he could see it as I showed him picture after picture of all I had done..he just kept pointing at it and saying "that made it worth coming home for!!!!" He left this old world in the way that he wanted.. At home ,surrounded by family, and is in a much better place now.. Rest in peace Dad.. Joe Edmondson 4-8-1934 12-30-2021

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Greg, sorry for the loss of you Dad. Not easy to lose a parent altho it is the progression of life. Was good to read he left this mortal world being in familiar surroundings and amid a loving family.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Sorry for your loss Greg. Glad your dad at least got to know what was going on with the truck. His reaction should give you all the motivation to see it thru.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Sorry to read about that passing of your father. My prayers for peace and comfort to you and your family.
Glad he left knowing his old truck was getting a renewal. Bittersweet for you I am certain but keep up the good work and finish strong!

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I'm sorry for your loss, man. Reading your story made me tear up and think of my own Dad's passing. So cool that you were able give him happiness by showing him what you are doing with the truck. What a better way to leave this life, by being home with loving family.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
So sorry for your loss. I've followed this build from early on when I got here, went back when I joined and read every single page. Always been excited to see the reveal and your dad's reaction to his truck. I'm glad that even if it wasn't the way you'd planned, he got to see it and that you both shared the joy of that moment together, it makes your efforts even more special that they brought him excitement in his final hours here. Also encouraging to know that someday you'll see him again, free of his earthly pain and suffering.
I hope to see you finish this project in his memory, when you're ready. Again, so sorry for your loss and sending prayers for your entire family from up here in WV. |

Greg I'm sorry for your loss. I know you wanted to reveal the truck to him finished. At least he got the chance to see your accomplishments.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Updates, what's a update?.. haha..
Believe it or not I have been doing some truck work.. Had to work the last 2 weeks solid of 12hr shifts, so I didnt do a whole lot But I did get started on the exhaust.. I had already bought most everything I needed last yr.. But i got a set of 18in maxxflow mufflers, just magnaflow knockoffs for way cheaper. They're the same thing i have on the C30 which are 14in.. not sure how the extra 4in will affect the sound..also have a set of Walker quite flows I want to stick on when it hits the dyno, to see what diff there is between the 2 mufflers on hp
