I'm loving this build! If only for the simple fact that I had the 1/64 scale Ertl diecast model as a kid too, and I know it's around here somewhere still. Plus I've always been an IH fan too. This truck really is unique in a sea of large dump trucks. It just as a neat look about it, and though I don't know these trucks inside and out, I think you are doing a great job of replicating it in scale! Your frame, axles, and spring packs look awesome. This thing is going to look excellent as a finished model. I can't wait to see it all finished up.

It has been a long time since last post but I do now have two new grandsons that I'm working at spoiling and having a great time with.
Pics show the work done over past couple of months. The transmission shift servo is inside the rightside fuel tank. Next step is to finish mounting front axle to springs and install front driveline.
