Project International Rat (‘41 turbo diesel)
« on: March 26, 2019, 10:33:27 AM »
I started a new project and had to find a new forum to post a build thread so here I am.  While forums and build threads are kind of dying off, I still think it’s the best place to get feedback and discuss ideas versus the comment section on YouTube.  With that said, I do find video to be a better form for documenting the build.  So most of my updates will be via YouTube, but some pics will get thrown in.

So it’s a ‘41 International cab that I’m chopping 4”, the cab was pretty beat up but salvageable.  I scrapped a ‘97 f250 with the 7.3L Powerstroke and a 5 speed for the running gear.  Not sure what I’m going to do for a front axle yet, probably build something.  I will be making my own frame, once I finish the chop I’ll lay everything out and take some measurements.  Thinking either 2x3 or 2x4 1/4” tubing.

A proper introduction
