@DeanaBryan I love these old IH trucks. They look awesome. If you ever want to build a new frame from scratch I can give you the prints to make an identical frame to the one I build from 3" x 8" x1/4" structural steel tubing. From 1964 through 1968 the frame were all pretty much the same on the pickups.

I hear that about the police. Im feeling kinda lazy and not wanting to look through the build at the moment, but what t case and tranny are you running? axle gears?

And I take it that rig isnt a fan of articulation! (obviously) but none the less its a stout build for some rough/loose terrain :) nice build!
