Re: Columbus..the 1957 IH 4x4..
I knew I wanted to do something to eliminate all the rattles I could in this truck so I decided to just make a new set of hinges..i made new side pieces and machined some new shaft for the hinges..then I machined some uhmw [plastic] sleeves to go over the new shafts..that should give it a nice sqeak free feel...I also made them a little longer...when I get the side plate painted ill install the sleeve and weld the flat washer[retainer] on the shaft..heres a comparison pic and how its assembled..and then one with the shafts welded to the side plates ready for paint...
