Title: Re: 1950 International shop rod 1.0
Post by: M4wdFab on June 24, 2018, 10:04:15 PM
cab mounted to new chassis

ford v8s and international vs chevy and chevy V8 there is about 6" difference in the wrong way.  had to cut into the international fire wall.  hacked and patched and done, will deal with it more when doing the interior.  i knew anyway i did it i would not like so it just got done.

looks good as a rolling.  hoping the fuel tank and canister play nice when its time to mount the bed, but steering brakes wiring first so it can turn itself around in the shop bay. 

most parts in hand minus exhaust and glass.

after 2 hours of chasing wires and book reading with no start

MikeMike stopped over to use the lathe and some how stumbled upon Ford uses the same exact connector for the ignition switch as they do for one of the smart distribution box plugs and i had them reversed.  what a terrible POS ford is.

has a dead petal issue that's intermittent.  hard accell is fine but when cruising it goes to 15% throttle command via OBD read for a second or two then kicks back to correct.  no other issues, doesn't misfire or sound weird just like its electronically governing throttle input.

Have an old analog DVM? Or hook the pedal up to an oscilloscope, I bet you've got those at work. Look for smooth sweep or see if you can get it to hang or go dead anywhere. Just like trying to troubleshoot your damn APPS on the 24v.

completly blown away at this CL experience.


Dude shows up on time.
has cute daughter with him.
shows up in a 1963 IH crew cab pickup thats un restored original.
we chat price, i have some few other things i throw in. payment made.

cool guy.


pulls a tow bar out with a piece of angle hinged to it.  lines it up on the front frame and starts to C clamp it on. at this point im like o boy here it begins! 

he then grabs a dewalt drill from the truck and drills holes and bolts the thing to the frame with 1/2" grade 8 hardware.  even brings his own oil can to lube the bit.  i am amazed. 

he is rolling out of the lot by 7:22, apologizes for not having more time to shoot the shit and check out my trucks as they have another 1hr20min drive back to go.


i am amazed.

Bearings ain’t care. It’ll get there. They might be hot but I’d figure worst would happen is blown tires.

Very cool! I’d have offered a weld bead if he was so well prepared to drill & bolt. Sounds legit.

logged 225 miles on this unit pulling a 3500lb empty trailer

new heat works great once 2 pairs of gloves and a hat stuffed in leaky dash vent.  otherwise no issues but hate due to lack of cruse control. 

managed to keep on dry roads and doesnt look to be salt coated after returning home on the trailer behind the 4500.

Post by: M4wdFab on February 24, 2019, 04:07:06 PM
spent most of the day on this thing trying to diagnose dead petal issue. 

had Steve come over with his laptop and monitor and log the PCM.  he sees nothing in the PCM that indicates a problem with anything.  we didnt buy 100$ in credits to change anything with HP tuners. 

i did verify KAPWR (keep alive power) at the the PCM and PDC.  since once you get it happy with a sustained high speed run it goes away and then the problem returns after a key cycle immediately. 


i added in a wire to shut off traction control for next test drive but nothing on the log showed TCS pissed at all.
