I bought this last October for my 24th birthday. Ever since I was little I've wanted to build my own rat rod or hot rod. So after searching eBay and Craigslist for a year or so I found the truck I wanted. I bought a 57 IH s100. So the cool thing about the truck is that they only built it for 1 year from 56-April of 57. After find out how rare it was I deside that it would be better not to cut it up.
So I have a thing for diesel trucks and after being a cummins guy for a while I wanted to put a 12v in it, but the only thing is that EVERYONE does a cummins swap. So now after a year later I found the motor I wanted to put in it. A 7.3 was to be my motor. So last month I bought a 02 Ford F-350 single wheel with 350k miles for $1500.
So the plan is/was taking the body off the ford and putting the 57 body on the f350 roller. So that's about where I am now. Just getting to rebuilding the turbo at the moment.
When I get home I'll up load the pictures, can't figure out how to load them on my phone
