Yet Another Project International 4x4
I usually have many projects going at the same time and work on one while I am waiting to find parts for others usually cheap or used because it gets expensive when your in hurry. I have been saving...

Put the front on. There is just a couple of differences from a regular hood. It actually comes down lower in the front, so the radiator is two inches shorter, but we can deal with that. Should look...

I have been working on small stuff on the truck. Mainly cab mounts, wiring, getting the hood on. The hood is 2" shorter were the radiator goes, but not a big deal really, I like the looks. I have also...

One adapter done and three to go, at this rate I will be done in a few years. It's true you can do anything with a antique machine that you can with a new one, just takes 10 times longer (or more). I...

Had to take a couple days to fix a truck for my son. This is a 2004 Silverado that had a tree fall on it. My son is a lineman and is expecting a son next month (I'm gonna be a grandpa!). His old truck...

as good as new---when I had a salvage yard ,sold many a cut off cab for jobs like this---we even fixed a few ourselves and drove them till they were worn out-- some good welding --its called recycling...

Had to wait for the weather to break, getting to old for the heat. Been building some other small projects, but now starting back on this truck. I done an update video and will be updating the videos...

Wow, you must have like atleast 60 hours in that International........& a weekend in that pickup!! You must have Ukrainian blood (they will spend 40 hours worth of work to save a $25 dollar...

It's Hillbilly blood or Appalachian American as they call us now. Was raised dirt poor, so work with what you have. I built a Studebaker pickup for a man before. I put a Buick drive train in it and...

Here is a video that I posted yesterday on You Tube. I am trying to decide if I will build it as a rotator or just leave it as-is. This will be the last video I post here I believe. I am not sure how...
View ArticleRe: Yet Another Project International 4x4
John, I really like how you find new purpose in old stuff. I think your rotator could be really cool, but I am afraid that unless you add a third stage to the boom, you won't have enough stick to...

The truck sits very high with the 46" tires. The 475 also mounts high on its turret, but I agree the boom would be nice if longer, but I think it will do what I need at the length it is. I have...

John, I watched all your videos on this build last night. VERY impressed by this truck but more importantly by your talent. Just one question, in the video the frame appears to get very small towards...
View ArticleRe: Yet Another Project International 4x4
Your right, very small and single which did concern me. I am loading a video now 1/12/16 of the subframe, side plates, and the slider frame that I am tying together. They will all become one piece and...
View ArticleRe: Yet Another Project International 4x4
Hey John, just finished watching your latest videos. I think you're right, the small frame is a non issue with the sub frame you're building especially since there is no wheel lift. Going to be a very...
View ArticleRe: Yet Another Project International 4x4
Thanks for watching!! I figured if I ever decided I needed a wheel lift, I would do a NRC detach style, so the weight would all be on the boom and not the rear of the truck. I still have a lot going...
