Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
haha...yep...but the burb doesnt have the heavy axles...corp 10 bolt front and 14 bolt SF rear.....believe it or not Columbus actually is a 3/4t from the getgo...but axle parts are as rare as hens teeth...brake parts are near nonexistent. ..it has a (big 6) bolt pattern wheel (6 on 7 1/4 bc)..the rims are 17.5 dia.....tires and wheels are nonexistent as well....that with the closed knuckle and drum brakes and tractor style ball and socket steering components and lack of power steering made the axle swap descision an easy one....got to make it safe and easy for Dad to drive....
yeah the 2 post is a back saver. ...i use it for everything...and like you Doug, I wish I had it years ago...
