IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
A new project that I got.It started out as a tilt cab.When I worked at N.A.V.L. I hated these trucks now I'm building one. Here is The new chassis. Some of you may recognize this.Yes it's Alfy's cab. I needed a trailer so I started out with a tanker.It has a light kit and motorized landing gear.I would like to build a moving van trailer when the truck is complete.

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
Thanks. I'm gonna take my time with this one make sure it's right.
Thanks. Wish more people would build COE's. They are awesome trucks. Thanks. In the earlier posts I said I was going to build a moving van trailer for it. The tanker is for another build I have going that's not posted.But back in the day those trucks hauled the trailers in all our divisions. HVP ,household, CT,car carriers , flatbed and even tankers. But you are correct now days I only see these hauling corn at harvest time sitting on farms. |

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
I'll be watching this one, waiting to see it come together. I used to see a ton of these trucks, growing up, but they were all J.B. Hunt, Roehl or Schneider fleet trucks. Not to many of these around anymore.

Re: IH 9800 COE Fleet truck
I've had this build on the back burner for awhile.Time to get some progress done on it. Picked up a box trailer rather then scratch building. Gonna tear it down and paint it the blue and white NAVL colors. Got some RC4WD steel wheels for it.
