COE IH single axle

[flatdeck]

Always want to build a single axle COE. This will be a IH, stock tandem length custom frame. Started with blank rails, as I said cut to stock Tamiya length, added a set of Russ's (True Scale) fuel tanks, work box steps, Steve's (IHB) 10 hole wheels and round end bumper




Added Russ air ride and Reg's (RCP's aluminum) rear light plate..

Have the cab fitted and got some body work done..



Fat Stacks set me a set of his Bull Horn stacks just love these over size pipes.. and made some mounts for them (not sure of them)



Made the deck plates, add one of Freddy aluminum boxes and the 5th wheel..

Lot more of the body work done filled all the holes I did not need....




Did some body mods, filled the vent in the rear of cab, and dropped the body over the tanks..

Never liked the stack brackets that I made so talked to Russ (True scale) and this is what he sent me much better.. Rod (Stepside) sent me a very nice visor..



95% body work done now ready for the paint.... (I hate painting)

Thanks for looking.....

Well it is painted and did some changes at the same time, decided to save Freddy's aluminum box for another build, replaced it with another of Russ's steps, Painted Rod's visor to match the truck and added a set of my polished single fenders..





Added Russ's shocks cover and wire box.. got all the lights in (now to wire them)..





Hope you like my COE IH Single Axle


Thanks to... Russ, Steve, PMD, Fat Stacks, and Reg. for your help and to Paul for getting me interested in the great IH cab overs.....
