Vote 2! Frame is unbent, just needs some minor repair and crossmember replacement. jn6047
OK, so that's one vote for not boxing. George, art.resi is right, they are quite strong. Darn, this is going to be a hell of a decision. I...
Shit, I should probably just box it and go wild. I've had the truck for half of my life, and don't plan on selling it any time soon. What does...
Hi everyone. Since the deal for the Elephant Hunter didn't pan out I've decided (wife gave permission...) to finally finish my first truck a 1951...
OK, so thought I would dredge up this old topic, as I have changed my projecdt plans quite a lot in the last while, and I would like to help...
Long story short, I didn't get it. jn6047
Thanks a lot for the help everyone. I am second in line to buy this piece of obscure hot rod history, and I'm hoping the first guy backs out!...
Hi everyone. I was wondering if anyone had a copy of the 1973 Hot Rod Magazine Yearbook if they could scan and email me an article. It's about a...
Oh, and by the way, I love the idea of your intake and your engine. I've got a 392 for my project that I had work done at Campbell Automotive in...
If I could make a sugestion, you would build a multi pannled plenum, something with 8 sides, and then match the runners to that. Or, build a 2x4...
I love IH pickups. The lonestar OTR has an interesting look. Not quite sure I 100% like. As for the DMAXX, it's not a production truck,...
Damn, I'm in Northern Alberta, and I don't know about any of these shows... jn6047
Wow. I've heard stories of these things happening, but I'm so far removed from it all (northern Alberta) I never thought it was real. I'm...
Thanks for the reply. I had done some searching about hair pins and tube axles, and while most people figured there would be no problems, some...
Hey everyone. Just wondering if the same problems would exist with running tri-4 bars on the front of a drop tube axle as they do with hairpins....
After thinking about it a bit more, I could really see a car of similar construction, but with a full hood like Foose's P52 and it's exhaust, and...
I like it. jn6047
Thanks a bunch guys!
Hi. Just wondering if anyone knows where I can find bolt on scoops for my front drums. Thanks very much. jn6047
IH brake parts? Have you been to oldihc.org? I'd also try any older part store, and get out to brake spec book and match some stuff up. Or,...
One more question for everyone, where can I find scoops for my drums? Tried searching the net, but no luck. Does O'Brien's have em? Thanks....
Awesome news. What do you have planned with the 36? I have plans for a C1 as well, but had to put them on the back burner to get my 51 done. My...
The L-110 is a heavy half short box. Only difference between the 100 and the 110 is steeper rear gears and extra capacity leafs. The leafs of...
One question in regards to the brake arcing machine. Wouldn't self-actuating brakes make it pretty much useless? I mean, with self-acutating...
Thanks Lotek, that's kind of the way I've been leaning. I had heard from a friend of mine that droves theses trucks when they were new that he...
Hi everyone. Just working on my old truck, and I'm having a hard time deciding what to do with the brakes. The truck is a 1951 IHC L-110...
Finned covers are available, as are aluminum dual plane four barrel intakes. As for a blower manifold, it would have to be fabbed up, so would a...
Any other suggestions? Any more thoughts on the 4bars? Thanks. jn6047
I figured the 4bars would sound iffy, but put them in their because I saw that the fuel altered Pure Hell was running them in the 60s. Not sure...
Hi. I'm working on collecting parts for a project I've been wanting to do for some time, a 1936 International Harvester late 60s style drag race...
