Sweet. Can hardly wait to see pictures of it.

The start... he's yanking out the TPI 350 and the trans that's in it. He will deliver on the 15th.

Thinking GM 8.1L, Allison and NP271 plus a SD D60 and Dana 135 in ten lug.

I need to find a service crane for it.

Hoping that you take them goofy chevy emblems off the rear. Look forward to the build.

IH needs a T444e/4R100 IMO
 
Screw it, find an 8.8 out of a newer bus with an Allison. Check for cowl rot before you put a new engine in it as it will be much easier with the engine out. Check binderplanet for some good how to fix cowl rot threads. Very nice truck, I'm a little jealous.:grinpimp:

I had no idea but that confirms to me IH's engine development is surely dead. Sweet engine though if you want another big block Chevy, 8.1 is probably a lot cheaper.

It was a fire truck before it went onto the P30 chassis. No rot, but 6 coats of paint or so I am told, can see.

I plan to sand blast it and paint it it's original color. It will get a plush interior and ride.

If any of you jokers want to send me a check to buy or an engine and trans to stick in this, I will.

Otherwise, it gets what I want, can source and support.

Last on this, I will do a build thread on the War Pig V12 soon.
 
If you look at the picture you can clearly see the pitman arm (?) and drag link going to the front axle. I dont see a link running to the rear axle. Looks like its front steer only.

And the axle hubs are different too.
