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

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..

Hey Wayne I was wondering where did you get the exhaust brackets and cross bar set up from? I'm looking for a similar set up for my k100.
