    Here is some more. Cut the hell out of a 36ish? international harvester. NOT A TRACTOR! Also began to reinstall the factory dash. It was replaced with a lifeless chunk of stainless steel.

    got some moe done to the truck today. I still have afew more things to do before the day is over. I was having trouble finding room for the pedals. Needed to get all 3 in there with little to no room. So here is the result so far. I still have linkage to build for the brakes and clutch. But progress none the less.

    Tomorrow I should have the heim joints and brake linkage in so you can get a better idea of what the final product will look like.

    I will finish the floor as soon as we get the cab mounts made so I can do the clutch linkage. Should be even cooler than the brake assy!

  17. Looks cool so far. This is one of my favorites off the HAMB, it's up in the Pacific Northwest, if I remember right. Similar year (I think this one is a 35, so the doors will be different) but I think it's got the right "look". It's slightly R-R ish, but with shiny paint I think it'd be a swell ride.

    Can't wait to see the one you're working on finished.
    Thanks for the post.

    Crap, I can't post the pic cause it's not hosted. PM me if you'd like to see it.

    this will most likely change. To large IMO. But you get the idea. Got the cab mounts done to just no pix of it yet.

    Next step will most likely be sand blasting and patching up the very few rust spots this has.

    I built it all from scratch. The pedal assy is a little difficult. There are several points of movement for the brake pedal assy. Thanks for the kind words.
