Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
busy stripping down the frame this afternoon. ..thought I'd share this ...I knew this was there but never could get a good pic of it....
hows about a 4x4 ,in and out ,indicator switch...and in the late 50s...its a simple lever switch hooked to the 4wd shift lever...and yes there is a light on the dash...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
also this curiosity. .wood blocks drove into the frame...right over the rear axle....both trucks have these blocks...I don't know if its a factory thing or a old farmers trick but odd that both trucks have them....

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Clean and primed parts are always exciting...looks good.
Don’t know if your folks can see your shop from their place. If they can, I keep imagining the following...Mom looking out kitchen window toward your shop in the late evening. Says to your Dad...”Honey, do you have any idea why Greg is sneaking parts in and out at all hours? What is he up to anyway?” This is a very nice thing you are doing for them. |

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
thanks Doug..
yeah this sneaking stuff around is part of the fun of this truck build...they live 1/4 mile down the rd from me and off on a dead end rd...we cant see each other for all the trees..[thankfully]..and my place is 250yrds off the rd with a lot of trees between me and the rd.... I did the frame behind my shop so they couldn't see it if they drove by...and I had my truck hid so they wouldn't know I was there.. ive got so much stuff torn apart around my place im not sure theyd know what the frame was for if they did see it..all the body is at my buddys shop.. it was funny last week, when I left with the frame...dad was mowing the peoples yard across the rd from my driveway...I went sneaking up to the rd and waited til he was going away from me and I took off...he never saw me...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
got the cab and bed back this morning from the blaster...got it all in epoxy. ...turned out purty good...the bed had to go back to remove the lizard skin from the bottom.....kudos to lizardskin for a product that sticks...they said they worked on it 6hrs to get it off....what a shame that it had the wrong primer under it....

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
this seems like a rerun but I got the lizardskin back on the bed underside...this time with the correct epoxy primer....also did the inside of the cab floor...don't mind the dust..I've been sanding...

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

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I knew before when I fixed the cab corner that there was a spot next to it on the floorpan that had rusted thru...i couldn't get to it to fix it before but on the rotisserie it will be a simple fix...

Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
ran into a issue while mocking up my power steering...the IH frame is a good bit wider than the chevy frame was and if I put the power steering box outside the frame the tire will hit the steering linkage when turning to the right...its been suggested that I try crossover steering...anybody have any input on this?....maybe a different idea....the IH box mounted inside the frame rail
