Sledgehammer Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 This thing hooked up to a gooseneck trailer with a certain 1206 loaded up would be pretty spicy competition for “best of show” as a car show I would think. Just saying 😉 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dirt_Floor_Poor Posted April 5 Share Posted April 5 Absolutely beautiful work. Hats off to the guys doing the work and most importantly to the guy that is paying them. It’s great to see something like this not only preserved, but restored. As many IH light line trucks as there once was you sure don’t see many around any more, let alone beautifully restored ones. What a fitting tribute to the almost forgotten career of the independent farm repair/welder/blacksmith. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you Sir ! my sentiments were what you described ; the forgotten farm repair / welder / blacksmith and also IH trucks are pretty rough and forgotten by now and I am trying to bring as much respect back to an IH truck as there is for Chev, Ford , Dodge at shows etc . I have noticed an uptick in IH pickup interest as of lately , however ,most are rock climbers and left patina . I am old school and choose to go another way trying to make a nice show room oldie . this truck should out live me now , so hope it will continue to make IH light line trucks proud many years into the future thanks again , tony 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tonyinca Posted April 7 Author Share Posted April 7 4/7/22 more odds and ends ! Finally decided on a stainless mirrors . lic frame , I prefer the original Allied frame in back and this nice smooth one in front . yes or no on the emblem for mud flaps ???? tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sledgehammer Posted April 7 Share Posted April 7 Mirrors look great. I would vote no on the mud flap emblem. Reason being, mud flaps are common. LP tanks, nice beds, and all the stuff above needs to grab the attention. Any truck can/does have mud flaps, so why focus attention on normal when you have so much amazing abnormal to show off with that truck? Just my 2 cents though 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
