IH 9670 COE

Paul the truck is looking great and the stacks are absolutely top notch. I can't wait to see some paint thrown at this project. Any idea of what you're going for paint scheme wise?

Got a few more little things i can built for the IH so Ill try to get them finished up this weekend. I have 2 other trucks going besides the A so ill get picks of them up too.

Paul, very nice work! best looking COE stacks I've seen yet!

Hey Aaron!..... Are you seeing these stacks? I think your rig would look sweet with a set like this

Looking sweet Paul!!!

Thanks much Aaron..

Here is a little update with the smaller cab I have lack of room for a 3 speed so here is what I built.. It is a 3 to 1 reduction with the motor turned around now if my math is right you can go any where from 1:1 to 6:1 just by changing gears. Anyways here are the picks..













Still going to be a little tight but it will work nice.. I did a different version of this tranny a few years ago on my tri axle to get the tranny in the cab due to the cat motor under the hood but this is a new and improved version of that..

Now that is the best space saver ever! I like it! Awesome job!

Thanks much guys.. I got Russ's cross members and hanger bearing member mounted today and got the drive shafts made so this one is getting close..

[BRICKNICK]

Hey Paul I think you and Russ should put a kit together for the engine relocation kit you have there, I can see lots of guys with day cabs and cracker jack box Coe's using your motor/trans adapter kit. And your stacks look so good that I'm getting started on my globe this weekend, lol ill be ordering lots of parts now. I'm sure my wife appreciates the fact that your build has just lit a fire under my a$$ to get my globe running haha. Awesome job so far.

LOL well don't get me in trouble with your wife I do a good enough job with mine as it is.. And it is funny you say that about the gear reduction relocation unit because they are in the works all ready so soon we should see a version on the open market .. And Thanks for the great comments much appreciated I'll have a small update tonight on that truck I got some more done last night and now I am on the Frieghtliner for a bit then this weekend my son has been waiting a long time but we finally will be putting his 6x6 ARMY truck together we have all the custom bits for it a so should be able to just about build that hole truck to the finish this weekend..

[crawler07]

great idea,funny thing is with these trucks you would think their would be pleanty of room but as you get further along on one of these builds the tighter it gets.

Cant wait to see more progress pics TC! Great that you should be able to get back at the 6x6 too!!

[sparkycuda]

Another fine example of the ingenuity that our members show. Next, someone will figure how to include the motor inside the transmission! Stellar work and model.

Thanks much Ken they should be very nice to use they will work great when you add the cat motor under the hood of a KH then you can put the tranny and motor in the cab and still have the sleeper for the mfu..


Very small up date but tranny is mounted and the drive shafts have been made and also new Rc4wd drives added.

This is what I love about this board here. All the vendors are all about helping and making custom parts for guys it just makes this hobby great.. Russ and I have been talking about this grill since May of this year but it has been well worth the wait for sure.. I just got the prototype today and it needs a little tweeking but all in all it is great Russ did a outstanding job I cant wait to get my other 4 and now I have this prototype I am ready to finish off this truck and get it into paint as soon as I can.. But enough jabber here are the picks..







AWESOME WORK RUSS!

[Kaf343]

[plow jockey]
