I intend to use the original side handles on the hood with a custom linkage to a pair of bear jaw latches and strikers for latching the hood. I...
I have a '52 International pickup. I've decided I want a reverse-opening hood, so that the hood when open is approximately 90 degrees to its...
It's hip pain that kept me away this year. I tend to walk too much, get too much sun, take too many pictures, and not drink enough when I'm at...
Wasn't sure how the cancelling cam attached, or if it even had one. Thanks for the info.
I've read most of the threads that have to do with building your own steering column for your rod, and I've asked for, and received, advice about...
Here's a picture of a '54 Chevy turn signal assembly, as sold by one of the restoration parts vendors:[IMG] So now I just need to measure the OD...
In the interest of keeping this discussion totally public, I received a PM suggesting I look into using a '54 Chevy truck switch. Further...
I'm sloooooooowly working on my build of my '52 International pickup, and I paid close attention to the tech thread here on building your own...
The beauty of the '46-'47 Hudsons is that there's no need to chop the top on one, because the glass area is already as short as most chop jobs. I...
Up through '68, the 1/2 ton International 2WD was 5-on-4-1/2"...4WD was 5-on-5. 3/4 ton and ton were 6-on-7-1/4. After '68, it all changed.
I appreciate all the advice. Mine are exactly like the ones that RatPin repaired. I was thinking of making a FORM so that I could pass it along...
The thought has occurred...to take a straightedge and hold it vertically against the "good" cab corners...and to make some marks, maybe every...
I'm not an experienced panel beater. In fact, my only "experience" was in junior high shop class, when our teacher took a wooden form he'd turned...
Here's my .02 worth. I worked for TOWER Automotive for a few years, making the frames for 2002-2005 Ford Explorers [U-152 frames]. The company...
Over at www.oldihc.org there's a guy named Kevin who has either a BD or an SD six with a Keystone turbo kit on it. Keyston worked with him, and...
Ditto on what Ramblur said. The earlier Hudson rear was a Warner Gear [Borg-Warner] product, and was prone to breaking axles when the high-torque...
I welded in a factory that made frames for Ford Explorers, and your welds look OK to me. No cold lap, appears you have good penetration...only...
RE: the Hudson thing....My dad and grand-dad were Hudson dealers, so I got to hear all about how those Hudsons would run. Dad's '46 Super Six...
My first impulse was that it was reminiscent of the '55 Olds...but I like it!
I think that you've addressed most of my concerns about delamination; still, for the peace of mind, I'll probably go single-stage anyway. I know...
I had no idea my wife's '97 Sunfire was painted in the '80's. Learn something new every day, I suppose. It's just that I keep hearing how...
When I worked at the plant that built frames for 2002-up Ford Explorers, the boxed frame rails were assembled from an inner and an outer section....
My dad did paint work in the '40s' on Hudsons...a quart of virgin nitrocellulose lacquer would thin [or whatever the current term is] into enough...
My dad and granddad were Hudson dealers in the 40's and 50's, so they told me a lot about the 7X engines. Dad told me of one car that came in...
[IMG] I have my granddad's old Marquette 230-amp AC stick welder. The one in the photo isn't mine, but mine is nearly identical. Dad had told...
I was a parts department manager for a number of years, as well as being a car nut. I knew that I could manually input minimum stocking levels...
The folks who sell these computer systems tell the owners/managers that they make the parts counter biz so easy, anyone off the street can seem...
Windshield listing on eBay:...
If the windshield is the same as International--and it appears to be the "Comfo-Vision" cab that IH used from the '50 L-series thru about the '68...
So...in other words...you're building a Chevy pickup, but using International sheet metal. Is that about right? Other than the Binder sheet...
