The Low Buck Bagged Binder

Got the pedals and steering column mounted. Still not sure what I want to do for pedals.

 

Pedals are done

 

C4, I like that pedal ***embly, binder is looking good, that cab is in great shape, nice work.

 

Thanks. Yours was part of my inspiration.

 

Three pedels and a Turbo350, what did I miss ?
I have that #870 327 in my 62 Vette and it works very very good!
Upgrade the cam and you will realy like that 327!!

 

Originally I was going to run the TH350. Now it is coming out and a T5 is going in. Thanks for the 327 tip.

 

Gusseted the rear frame,


Steering column firewall bearing mount inside,


outside,


Originally the backside of the front fenders was an inch of the ground,


now I have about 6"




Steering wheel installed,

 

Stripped the paint off of the cab. Between Jasco and 3M C.R.U.D. pads on the angle grinder it work well.





Shortened the bed 10" and cut the floor out.





Hanging the fenders off the back of the bed and I'll build a roll pan to go between them for the tail lights, exhaust and licence plate mount.

 

looks good.

One question: why right hand drive?

 

this might make me a ****, and only a few of you other ****s out there will know what I am saying, but are those BRM's?

didn't know you could do that

 

They are BRM's I still might go with them.

 

Nice,,, but I dont like the single shear on the rod end on the brake plunger. One hard panic stop could shear that grade five right off. You have the room and the skills to make that safer.

 

I don't think it is even grade 5. I used a piece of all-thread to get my length correct. I will use a grade 8 or better bolt for the final install unless you suggest something better.

 

haha
**** it put some sprint stars on it!

 

The wife stripping

the tailgate. Spent a couple of hours straightening it out then removed most of the paint.

Got the rear fenders ready to mount and rear tires today.

 

that work looks realy good to me, lots of thinking,
mad skills 4sure ......

 

what are those 20" steel rims?

 

Late model Dodge truck.

 

I bet she would rather be working on that Wagonaire huh lol

 

get her a respirator as those chemicals do bad **** to your lungs.

 

Ya, but the sooner the truck is done we will have room for the Stude in the shop.

 

Got my air tank today for my air bag set up. Not sure what it is out of
but it's about 5 gallons and was hooked to a compressor as an
air storage tank.


It only has 2 ports so I was going to run a copper or
stainless line to one of these vintage fuel logs so I would have a few more.


or


This will all be mounted in the bed and I'll have a vintage looking set up.

 

That is an oxygen tank from a WWII era aircraft. They used a lot of them in the B-17's. Awesome find, try not to cut it up!

 

Notched the bed for the rear axle and modified the 40 ford rear fenders to fit flat against the IH bed.

 

nice ihc

 

Keep the updates coming.

I like how this build is shaping up. Be interested to see how the narrowness (is that even a word ) of the front suspension is addressed. The front wheels look to be about 7-8 inches inside the fender lip.
