Ih 9670 Trailer Toter

[Tamiya Cowboy]

Well here is a project I started about 8 months ago after seeing a really nice looking IH 9600 Toter at the flying J so I wanted to build one but since I did not have any picks I did not get too far on the build at the time but a rolling frame and a shorten body. Well after tons of Ball Busting by dear old Dad aka Freddy and seeing Izzy's toter and I also started doing some repair work for a local moble home company this week and got to look over there 4 Fords really close I started into it again. After changing the length of the frame 3 times in one week and MORE Ball Busting by DAD for picks last night and today I got it right I think.

So here is were I ended up late last night..

So now I think I am finally were I need to be to get the look right so I started on the bed of the Toter..

Next the back wall and the locker under the tire rack.

Next the sides out of .80 and the locker door.

Here is a shot of the C Channel I used to make the side stronger.

Another shot of the the back with the tread plate on the bed and a hunk of brass C Channel.

Other side done.

Now the cab is lowered and I also cut down the stock stack and took a stock tank and removed the top step off the tank and mounted them. And in the bed added the 2 lower supports that make the frame stronger for the pogo stick i am going to try to make work. So here is were I finished tonight..

Now I have to do the tank and the stack for the other side tomorrow but let me know what you think...

Nice! So you are running a couple of custom projects together? Wish I had the time. Very inspirational though.

After..Now it matches the bottom of the cab I also trimmed it out around the top of the sides edge.

Also I copyed the way the mirrors were mounted in a pick of a real one and I made them out of brass and they slide out to a width of 16 inches..

Ok so last night and today I got the pogo stick finished. I got the winch all set in the truck and I ran the cable threw break line to the back of the truck then up and over to a brass pulley. I ran it on a dead 6 cell pack and it has enuff power to lift the nose off the ground so it works real well I am trying to down load my video off my Black Berry but is not working to well..:mad: I also made a mount for the R2 tranny and mounted it and the steering servo so not some more details and so minor body work and it will be ready for paint I am trying to have it done for the club meet in a few weeks..

Top view of the winch you can see the break line.

Under Side you can see the break line and the brass clamps i made to hold it in place.

The finished Derlin hitch and ball.
