I'm posting a video soon of the best chop technique for a IH truck. I have 3 of them and I figured it out. Since the doors don't really have a flat spot , you don't need to cut them ,you cut the crown out of the top and flatten it down and drop the rear window, even with the windshield. Mine will soon have Jag IFS and IRS, sweet ride...

I have a 49 KB8. full on semi truck baby! I rolled the body an bed off an 85 nissan pickup an dropped the cab,monster grille,and piano style hood on it. 27 mpg an fun as hell. I gots pix but dont know how to send them to you. Stay vigilant. Itll be hard to finish this but not as hard as living with quitting it.

Big job ahead of you!

Best of luck!

Great to see an IH pick-up based "rat rod" rather the usual Chev, Ford, Dodge choice.

that's right. it's a mazda b series / ford courier diesel version, their engine mounts are more conventional than the petrol version. get both types here & intend putting an old land rover body onto one of the diesel ones with ford running gear.

born n raised in sunny SoCal, so please explain how a frame from the 70's gets sooooo rusty???

it'll look really nice when finished.
