Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
That is a good looking truck already, and it will be doubly cool when you get it finished. That bumper looks sturdy, nice work on that. It needs to be argent in my mind.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks Dale and Russell...
I'm looking at the color the bumper is/was...it was a silver of some sort that me and Dad painted it with yrs ago..I'm kinda leaning back towards the argent myself.. Time will tell Did a quick little bit tonite after work..got the exhaust hangers installed.. Thankfully nothing moved when I hung it on it's own weight.. I do have one issue I'll need to address before I call in the dogs on it though .. Theres a little to much swinging and swaying side to side.. I'll have to figure out something to eliminate that.. I've got a idea that ill mock up and see how it does

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
The bumper and exhaust look awesome. I wonder how many knots, bruises and bleeds that bumper has caused.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well , it looks like I'm back on my hectic work schedule for about the next 6-8 months...
Just got done with a 12 day stretch of 12 hr shifts...1/2 a day off and got 9 more nights to go.. Ughh So I tried to get a little done today.. Plan was to put both rear fenders on..well with the heat, humidity, and lack of sleep , I only did one.. No easy chore by yourself..but I got it.. I acquired some generic fender welting..its got a 1/4" bead So I started with laying the fender on my woodworking table and tracing around it..leaving a pattern to go by The welting doesn't turn corners without kinking, so I punched some 3/8" holes 1" apart, then cut Vs in it so it would flex around the curves

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Since the bolts that hold the fenders on will be visible, I picked up some countersunk washers and SS bolts
I also reused the funky washers that IH used..those go under the fenderwells

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
And the finished product...
I wasnt sure if I was gonna like the black rubber bead showing between the bed and fender, but the more I looked at it, its kinda growing on me...much better than the metal on metal that IH did.....now to do the other side

Greg,
Do I recall you saying you also have a Travel All? Do you need or want this? It was in some stuff I bought today. PM your address if you do and I will send it out. Richard .

That's cool Richard! I would think that is a very rare item. Especially in that condition....

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Super and looking great! I like the black belting showing against the red. Makes it look that much more 'finished' if you know what I mean.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Thanks fellers..!!!.. I'm feeling good about the welting..
So after a crazy 20+ days in a row of 12hr shifts , I got a day off.. Had to get caught up on a bunch of stuff I'd been putting off.. So got a few minutes of truck time..even if it is 1am..!!! Theres been one thing bugging me ever since I put the engine in.. axle to oil pan clearance .. When the engine hit the floor way back when, I had to get another oilpan.. I did a bunch of research and settled on a Corvette oil pan..it looked like it would work..and it did.. but it wasnt giving me enough "comfortable " clearance..the internal baffle system of the vette pan wasnt gonna let me do any notching.... so after more research, I bought a Holley LS pan (302-1) for a chevelle.. It looked like it was gonna work...well it didnt exactly.. so after more pondering, I decided to just notch it and be done with it.. Sure hurts to cut up a new oilpan.. but cut i did.. Made a new corner out of some 1/4" aluminum..suprisingly the Holley pan is also 1/4" thick.. Now to get my hotrod buddy to do a little tig for me and I think this will be good..

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
That looks good to me Greg. I can't buy anything without grinding or cutting on it. Glad you got a little time in.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well, I'm up to near 50 days of nonstop work, so truck work hasn't happened..
But I finally did the the notch welded in the oil pan..may dress it up a bit before I install it rumor is maybe at the end of this month things may slow down a bit.. but I'm not holding out any hope

Nice!
Funny how life works. When you are working like a dog you got extra money to do things but when you got extra time to do things you got no money.
