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

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

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
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.

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well hopefully my hectic summer is coming to a end.
Were in another 2 week shutdown, but after that I'll be off most of the rest of the year.. Since this is Columbus day I thought I'd make a mini update.. Not much to show, but ever little bit helps I swapped out the factory tierod for one of the heavy wall 1-1/4" ORD ones.. much beefier than the 1-1/8" factory unit But by doing so i lost the tierod end mounting boss for the steering stabilizer So I just fabbed me one up.. Painted and loosely installed

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Also got the oilpan installed..
The notch gave me over 3" of clearance at ride height..I feel better about that now

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Still doing small things..
This has been bothering me for some time.. When I made the cab corner ,there was about a 1/16" gap between it and the rocker.. I was gonna just live with it, but after looking at the drivers side I realized the two were spot welded together I couldnt squeeze them together without putting alot of stress on the metal.. So I cut some slits in the corner ,and drilled some hole for spot welds. Got it welded up..gonna brush some epoxy on it ..do a ittle filler work, then I'll spray epoxy on it.. Got the rear bumper ready to go to the blasters, so I'll try and spray it all at once. I've found a couple of spots on the rockers and the back of the cab that got missed when I sprayed epoxy the last time that need coated again.. hopefully the cab will be ready to paint in a week or so
