Thread: A Different Hot Rod

Tweet

Brent was cool enough to start this new topic, so I'll play.

I have a "Two" pretty new project in the works myself. Now I am not nearly as good as documenting my builds as Brent is but here's some of both of them.

The first project is a truck that I really didn't even know existed until a few months ago. I was surfin over on E-Bay and saw this truck and thought it was the coolest thing I ever did see.





I tried to buy this truck, however the guys asking price of $35,000 was just a little steep for me. So I went on a search to find one to build my way.

Turns out the truck was a international KB 6, old Time over the road truck. I found one in Tennessee only 145 miles from me. It was a true Barn Find setting right were the farmer parked it 8 years before.



Took a lot of doing to get it those 145 miles and dragging this thing through Chattanooga on a 18 foot car hauler is a trip I will never forget, or hopefully repeat. Got it home and started making plans for the build. Here setting outside the shop I realized just how big this dang thing really was. I had to cut 6 1/2 feet off of it just to get it into the shop.
