There's that S front bumper I've been looking for. Too bad it's on somebody's truck.

Nice find. Good luck with it.

Have someone make you a cardboard mock-up. Measure reference points, such as how far the ends are set back in relation to the center. Then have a welding shop make a reasonable substitute.

Finally had some time to work on it. 12v conversion done. Some brake fun and its driving down the road. Love how these bodies look. On the hunt for a new chassis to stick it on now...

And another Old IHC turns into scrap. Changing the frames out is not easier or better.
