already enjoying the detail, took the time to curve the custom made roofrack to fit the roofline

Pretty awesome. I'd like it much better if it had an IH motor in it.

I like how he kept the original frame.

seems to be that his mantra is to upgrade, but use stock available parts, so that replacement is easy. so I suspect the choice of a non-IH motor was to get something modern with more power in stock form, rather then to modify the International motor for more power to haul around all the added weight

another slick one. the tyre carrier and water carrier both swing and lock open at 170 degrees, and each have a fold down table, should make for some very usable rear space when camping

Wow, amazing. Going to have to incorporate some of these bits into my truck.

I love the zombie look of it in the first picture, with one headlight out/dead eye it looks awesome and scary as hell.

It is just personal preference of mine to keep the original motors. It's how the vehicle was meant to be.

The IH 345s and 392s were beefy. I'd take the weight penalty for originality and durability.
