Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
Well..I finally gave up and called in the dogs on the floormat...I just couldnt get it to lay flat..so I wound up cutting all the stitches out of the center section ..I can make it lay flat now....but I have a gap between the center piece and the pass side...if I move it over to make it overlap , then the gap moves to the driverside..
So I guess I'll be ordering floormat material and just making it myself...
So I moved on to another small job.....along with the radio install , I needed a antenna..didnt want it on the fender , or for that matter even visible..
So I mounted the antenna underneath the truck...
I got a 10ft antenna cable extension and a 26in long antenna that has a 56in cable on it...that gave me a cable, long enough, to run across the top of the windshield, across the top of the door, down the back of the cab and out the cab corner drain hole...all hidden behind the interior sheetmetal
Then I made a bracket to bolt to the under cab pinch weld...and I also made a gravel shield to keep flying rocks from beating the end of it up..
